You don’t have to be trapped in a cycle of fear, stress, or worry. These known steps can help you build a more balanced, peaceful mind—one thought at a time.

1. Identify the Trigger

Start by noticing what sets off your anxiety. Is it a social situation, deadlines, or a specific thought? Awareness is the first step toward change.


2. Track Your Mood/Thoughts

Keep a journal or use an app to track anxious thoughts. Get to know yourself: How did it make me feel? Patterns will start to emerge, seek themes.


3. Challenge Negative Beliefs

When you catch a negative thought like “I’m going to fail,” ask: Is this thought true?


4. Practice Thought Replacement

Replace fear-based thoughts with more balanced ones. Instead of "I can't handle this," try "This is hard, but I’ve managed before."


5. Use the 3-3-3 Grounding Technique

Name 3 things you see, 3 sounds you hear, and move 3 parts of your body. This brings you back to the present moment “here and now” scenarios.


6. Set a Worry Time

Schedule a 10-minute “worry window” each day.


7. Breathe with Intention

Try deep belly breathing—inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 6. It calms your nervous system and signals safety to your brain.


8. Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection

Every step you take to manage anxiety is a win. Track small victories and be kind to yourself—healing is a journey, not a race.


This is not a measure of therapy but a method of starting a healthier approach when trying to champion through ANXIETY. We strongly encourage taking these steps daily, weekly, monthly to promote lifestyle change. If you want to go beyond the surface and set goals that could last a life time, remember to connect with us for your mental health or life coach needs.
