[Ho...] Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 You know what I find helps with anxiety not to mention it is so much fun too? Coloring! . Nothing like a nice picture and a nice set of kids markers to help out. I take it to work with me daily because not only does it help with anxiety it also helps with the boredom too and keeps your mind occupied.

[Cr...] Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Found this thread because of Beeper, wanted to bump it up for current members. I had already put some of these into practice.. like the warm milk and breathing. Need to work on the self-assurance methods more tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest [Cl...] Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi - I have a method that my therapist gave me....seems to work (at least when I'm not so panicked that i forget to use it..lol) Here are the steps during an anxious episode (you do them simultaneously): 1.curl all ten toes downward into shoe or on floor 2. turn palms upward 3. gently place tongue between teeth 4. turn your head to either left or right and hold to that side 5. breath your deep breaths 6. envision a relaxing thought Usually within 4 breaths or so I can get a yawn out which means I've broken the anxiety....yawning is a good sign if you're panicking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Re...] Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Thank you Clementime. I haven't heard of that one. I want to try it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Cl...] Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 You're welcome It's a good practice just to throw in it throughout the day, anxiety or not...it feels like a bit of a reset button. Some days it sticks longer than others....but it's a little bit of something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
