1. Box Breathing

If you attended last week’s hybrid non-academic class, you might be familiar with this tip. This is a simple tip that you can do anywhere and anytime. This quick breathing technique works by using your imagination and working with your breathing. The goal is to picture your breathing following the shape of a box or square. To help you understand it easier, you can watch the video on the right and practice on your own 😤🫁

2. Drawing Calm Circles 

Drawing is one of the relaxation activities that is very easy to do. This relaxation technique involves sitting down wherever you like with a piece of paper and a pen (or a pencil or crayon, whichever you like). The goal of this tip is to focus on the drawing motion instead of doing it perfectly or making it look pretty. You can do this exercise at any moment you feel your anxiety rising. To make it easier for you to do this technique, you can watch the video ⭕

3. Connecting To Your Sense

Lastly, this is one tip that you can use when anxiety suddenly comes at you. This anxiety relief exercise helps you stay calm in the moment and takes your mind off of what’s making you feel anxious. Of course, just like the previous two tips, you can also do this exercise anywhere. Additionally, just a little tip: if you can’t find any objects around you when you’re doing this exercise, you may use your imagination. Such as imagining the taste of milk on your tongue. You can follow the steps in the video to make it easier for you to do it 🧘‍♂️
