Coping Skills & Tools: Finding Calm in Moments of Anxiety
Sep 06, 2025
When panic strikes, grounding techniques can bring you back to the present moment. Try:
5-4-3-2-1 method – Notice 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you taste.
Deep breathing – Inhale slowly, hold, then exhale to calm your nervous system.
These tools help you reconnect with your body and surroundings, easing racing thoughts.
Writing down your thoughts can reduce stress and build self-awareness. Try prompts like:
“What emotions am I feeling right now?”
“What’s one thing I’m grateful for today?”
“What challenge did I face, and how did I handle it?”
Journaling allows you to track patterns, release worries, and celebrate small wins.
