Today we are discussing performance-based anxiety. Week two highlights coping skills for before, during, and after your anxiety spell.
Remember that one of the most important pieces is treating yourself with kindness and grace. Whether it is emotionally or physically, remember to take care of yourself. Here are some techniques:
Box breathing for calming yourself - breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 4, out for 4, hold for 4, restart.
Power pose for feeling more confident - stand up straight with your chin up, chest out, and hands on your hips. Hold this pose for 60 seconds.
Progressive muscle relaxation for relaxing your body - start at your toes, tense, hold, and relax all of the different muscle groups, one at a time.
Next week we will be talking about coping with generalized stress.
