Anxiety is common — and manageable. Here are practical techniques you can start using today:

Box breathing

Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4, hold for 4. Repeat for 2–4 minutes.

Grounding (5–4–3–2–1)

Name 5 things you see, 4 you feel, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste.

Cognitive reframing

Write down the worry, challenge the thought, and replace it with a balanced alternative.

If anxiety is impacting work or relationships, coaching can help you develop strategies to manage it effectively.
