What are some mindfulness techniques I can use to manage anxiety?

There are several mindfulness techniques that can help manage anxiety. Would you like to try breathing exercises, body scans, or mindful meditation?

I think breathing exercises sound good. Can you guide me through one?

Sure! Let's try a simple breathing exercise. Inhale deeply through your nose for a count of four, hold for four, and exhale slowly through your mouth for a count of six. Let's do this together a few times.

That feels calming. How often should I practice this?

It's great to hear that! You can practice this breathing exercise daily, especially during moments of anxiety or stress. Even a few minutes can make a difference.

Are there other techniques I should consider?

Absolutely! Techniques like mindful walking, journaling, and guided imagery can also be very effective. Would you like to explore any of these?
