Mighty Minds Insight

Ways to workout your Anxiety

1. Name your anxiety – Literally give it a name like “Nervous Neha” or “Anxious Arjun.” It helps you separate you from it.

2. Change your temperature – A quick cold shower or ice on your wrist can reset your nervous system in seconds.

3. Write a “what if… then what?” list – Follow your fears to the end. You’ll realize most of them lose power when written down.

4. Sing or hum loudly – It activates the vagus nerve, calming your body faster than overthinking ever could.

5. Chew something crunchy – The rhythmic movement signals safety to your brain (yes, even a carrot stick can help!).
