Ever done guided visualization, yoga nidra, or mindfulness meditation? One trick that always helps me is to feel and wiggle my toes when I'm feeling anxious

It’s simple but just breathing in and out slowly for however long I need to helps me in the moment. Been getting anxiety attacks lately and that’s the easiest and most helpful to me.

Just curious, what are some of the things that make you feel overwhelmed?

Square breathing (in for a count of four, and holding for a count of four, out for a count of four, holding out for a count of four) helped a lot for me when I used to experience a lot of anxiety but hadn’t developed a strong mindfulness practice yet. Even just 1-2 rounds of square breathing can lower your body’s fight or flight responses and help you feel more centered and calm.
