Feeling anxious is a normal part of life, but when it starts to interfere with your daily routine, it’s time to explore gentle ways to find relief. At Safe Space Counseling Service, we specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety through compassionate, personalized therapy. While professional support is key, here are a few simple practices you can try on your own.

1. Practice Mindful Breathing

Taking a few slow, deep breaths can calm your nervous system and bring you back to the present moment. Try inhaling for a count of four, holding for four, and exhaling for six.

2. Limit Your News Intake

Staying informed is important, but constant exposure to stressful headlines can heighten anxiety. Set specific times to check the news, and avoid scrolling before bed.

3. Stay Connected

Spending time with supportive friends or family members — even virtually — can help you feel grounded and less alone.

4. Move Your Body

Regular exercise, like a short walk around your neighborhood, can significantly reduce stress hormones and improve mood.

5. Consider Professional Support

Sometimes, anxiety needs more than self-care. A licensed therapist can help you understand the root causes and develop tools to cope more effectively.
