How can I manage my anxiety at work?

Managing workplace anxiety can involve several strategies. Have you tried mindfulness techniques or deep breathing exercises?

I haven't tried mindfulness yet. How does it work?

Mindfulness involves focusing on the present moment and accepting it without judgment. You can practice it through meditation or simply by paying attention to your breath.

That sounds helpful. Are there any specific exercises you recommend?

Yes! You can start with a simple 5-minute breathing exercise: sit comfortably, close your eyes, and focus on your breath. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a moment, and exhale slowly through your mouth.

I'll give that a try. What if I still feel anxious during meetings?

It's common to feel anxious in meetings. You can prepare by practicing what you want to say beforehand or even bringing a small note with key points to help you stay focused.
