Coping strategies that may help
Deep Breathing
Focus on taking slow, deep breaths. Inhale for a count of four, hold for four, and exhale for four to help calm your mind.
Grounding Techniques
Use your senses to ground yourself. Identify five things you can see, four you can touch, three you can hear, two you can smell, and one you can taste.
Mindfulness Meditation
Practice mindfulness to stay present. Take a moment to observe your thoughts and feelings without judgment, allowing them to pass.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Tense and then relax each muscle group in your body, starting from your toes and working up to your head. This can help reduce tension.
