After a brief conversation with people in Anxiety support room discussing what we use to help with our anxiety - it become apparent they are so many different positive ways we use. So I thought it be useful for us to share them here!!

For me it is very much helping others/ volunteering as well as doing my crafts. -

Listening to ambient music artists or instrumental music. Artists like Deuter, Secret Garden, Kitaro, Dean Evenson, etc. It's very calming. Deep breathing, mindfulness, and meditation also help bring me peace. smiley

@KfindingSpeaceK thankyou for sharing this, I love that you shared exact examples so others can try them out for themselves too.

May I ask everyone out of interest, you all shared some great resources here. Are you able use these as prevention so if you do these things you do not get anxious as much. Or is it mostly that when you feel anxious doing these things calm you down?

I use different techniques for prevention of anxiety -- mostly mental thought exercises where I run what I think will happen during the event that causes me anxiety then I run a second version of what is realistically likely to happen. Often what I think will happen is impossible or unlikely. The things I said are usually used to stop or lower the effects of anxiety.
