Anxiety Attack Toolkit: Quick Strategies to Calm Your Mind and Body

When anxiety or panic attacks strike, having a set of go-to techniques can help you regain control. Here's your quick toolkit:

Deep Breathing: Practice the 4-7-8 technique (inhale for 4 counts, hold for 7, exhale for 8).

Grounding Exercises: Use the 5-4-3-2-1 method (identify 5 things you see, 4 you feel, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, and 1 you taste).

Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Tense and then relax each muscle group in your body.

Mindfulness: Focus on the present moment, acknowledging your thoughts without judgment.

Positive Self-Talk: Use affirmations like "This will pass" or "I am safe."
