Anxiety Coping Cards

HOLD AN OBJECT

A good grounding technique to help you when you're feeling anxious is to grab an object and hold it in your hand. The object can be anything - a pebble, a pen, a glasses case - anything that is close to hand. As you hold the object, notice how it feels in your hand. Without looking at it, focus on its texture. Try to build up a picture of its shape in your head as you move it around your hand. Describe the object to yourself.
