Exercises To Calm Your Anxious Thoughts

Relax Yourself.

Listed are a few exercises you can use to calm your anxious thoughts.

1. STOP, take a few deep breaths and acknowledge the concern.

2. Ask yourself “Am I safe?”. If yes, continue with the next steps. If not, get to safety immediately, call 911 for medical or 311 for mental health emergencies.

3. Ask yourself “What can I control?” and assess. You may want to control everything, but the reality is we can only control very little in life. Do what you can and acknowledge your doing your best.
