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.
