I've got the "Waking up" app by Sam Harris who's a neuro scientist. It's free if you can't afford it.

going for walks clears my mind.

in reply to kenster1

Walks are great! 🙂

I try to organize a drawer or clean a corner. It makes me feel like I did something.

Me too. I do need to fill I did something to the house, plus for myself care

I sing a soulful song as expressively as I can, which may be doing several biological things at once (breathing, physical movement, synchronizing brain activity throughout the body). 🎶

Coping skills that I have used are cleaning closets and drawers, vacuuming the house,

do meditation and check on my breathing. Find what works for you. :) xx

Cleaning def helps my anxiety, too! Hugs.

Hello! I listen to soothing music, go for a walk, dance, bake, cry it out.

What are yours?

Hugs!

in reply to Choctawgirl

Hi! My favorite coping skills are: taking hot showers, listening to music, reading, & foot baths with Epsom salts.

Sending you a huge hug back!

Mediation. Watch or read stuff that makes me laugh.

Counting backwards from ten down to on, going thru the alphabet in my head or thinking step by step what I will make for my next meal helps me.
