Anxiety Relief: Quick Techniques That Help
When anxiety rises, your body shifts into fight-or-flight. Slowing your exhale is one of the quickest ways to signal safety to your nervous system.
Try now: breathe in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4. Repeat four rounds.
Grounding: name 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste.
If anxiety is persistent or disrupts daily life, talk with a doctor or licensed therapist.
