getting outside especially on trails with lots of trees, calms me and deep breathing when I think of it. The one thing that has been the greatest help to me especially these last two years is getting outside and on trails where possible (or areas that are very quiet)

Me too and I also have nature YouTube videos playing on the big TV all during the day so I can stop and just hear birds or see lovely scenes

I do the same, I breathe and try to connect to Spirit and I read fiction and sometimes teenage books. It helps me to get light in this very heavy world!!! 💖

Getting outside! Breathing, listening to music, moving my body. I’m learning to talk with my anxiety and give them what they need.

When I dance my worries leave. Why do I forget that? I have to remember to remind myself to dance more. I force myself to move and am always happy with the results. Dance with abandon like no one is watching. 💃🏻

Thank you for bringing this issue into the light. Yes. Reading helps. Close connections with friends. Literally putting my feet on the floor or barefoot in the grass to get grounded. Try to manage it. Late at night the worst. It is a constant companion. Never goes away for long.
