Take some deep breaths

Our breathing becomes quick and shallow when we are nervous. By inducing the body's relaxation response and bringing down our heart rate and blood pressure, deep belly breathing relieves anxiety.

Go for a walk

One of the best anxiety treatments, both short-term and long-term, is exercise. Muscle tension is relieved and worries are diverted by taking a walk.

Get distracted

Try anything to divert your focus from upsetting thoughts or feelings, such as running your fingers along the edge of your phone, putting your hands under cool running water, or colouring or drawing on paper.

Aromatherapy

Use calming scents like lavender or chamomile to soothe your senses and relax the mind.

Herbal Teas

Sip on calming herbal teas such as chamomile or valerian root to promote relaxation.

Journaling

Write down your thoughts and feelings to process and alleviate anxiety.

Socialize

Spend time with loved ones and engage in activities that make you happy and relaxed.

Progressive Muscle Relaxation (PMR)

Practice PMR to systematically tense and relax muscle groups, promoting physical and mental relaxation.
