Deep Breathing: Inhale slowly, hold, exhale gently. This activates your body’s calming response.
Use cold water: Cold water on your face or place an ice pack on your forehead to instantly feel calmer.
Name your emotion: Say out loud: “I feel anxious.” Labeling emotions helps reduce their intensity.
Take a walk: Step outside for fresh air and sunlight. Boosts serotonin and lowers cortisol.
Acupressure point activation: Press the spot between your thumb and index finger for 60 seconds while breathing slowly.
Practice mindfulness: Notice: 5 things you see 4 you can touch 3 you hear 2 you smell 1 you taste
