What are some effective anxiety coping mechanisms?
I'm sorry to hear you're struggling with anxiety. This is fear of an unpleasant thing happening in the future and feeling like you don't have control over it. Here are some effective coping mechanisms you might find helpful: 1. *Breathing Exercises*: Try deep breathing techniques, like inhaling for four counts, holding for four, and exhaling for four. This can help calm your nervous system calm down and send the message that you're safe. 2. *Identify Negative Thoughts*: Pay attention to thoughts that arise during anxious moments. Write them down to make them more tangible. Ask yourself questions to evaluate the validity of these thoughts. Are they based on facts? Try to reframe the negative thoughts into more balanced or positive ones. For example, instead of thinking, Ill fail at this, you might rephrase it as, Ill do my best, and thats enough...and if I 'fail' then I can handle it by doing XYZ. Ask yourself what is truly the worst that can happen, how likely is it to happen, and how can you make it less likely to happen. Look for evidence that contradicts your negative beliefs that are causing anxiety. Be well, Dr. Lizette Ojeda READ MORE
