Exercises To Calm Your Anxious Thoughts
Let’s talk about it!!
At Ivory Lotus Therapy, we understand that managing anxiety can be challenging. As a dedicated mental health provider in the Waukee and West Des Moines area, we offer comprehensive mental health therapy and medication management to support your journey towards well-being. Our team of compassionate professionals is here to help you navigate life’s difficulties and find peace amidst the chaos.
To help calm anxious thoughts, we recommend incorporating these four exercises into your daily routine:
Deep Breathing: Find a quiet space, sit comfortably, and take slow, deep breaths. Focus on the rise and fall of your abdomen, allowing your breath to anchor you in the present moment.
Visualization: Close your eyes and imagine a serene place where you feel safe and relaxed. Engage all your senses to make this mental image as vivid as possible, helping to shift your focus away from anxiety.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation: Starting from your toes, tense each muscle group for a few seconds, then release. This exercise helps reduce physical tension and promotes relaxation.
Mindfulness Meditation: Practice being fully present by observing your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This can help you develop a healthier relationship with your anxiety and reduce its impact on your daily life12.
