When anxiety increases, your thoughts may feel difficult to control. Taking a moment to pause and focus on your breathing can help you manage the immediate feeling. Try inhaling gently, exhaling slowly, and noticing the sensations around you. You can also use the five-senses grounding technique to reconnect with the present moment. Remind yourself that anxious thoughts do not always reflect reality. If these feelings frequently disrupt your routine, consider seeking guidance from a qualified mental health professional.
