Here’s a tool for you:

It’s a kind of mindfulness we can practice when we feel anxious.
Imagine Chloe — feeling a bit anxious.
Here’s the mindfulness sailing through her mind.

1.    “Chloe, imagine yourself chilling on a boat, feeling calm and safe.

2.    Attached to the boat is an anchor.
It keeps you there, where you wanna be — happy and serene.

3.    Just like the boat, our bodies have anchors too.
Pay attention to your belly, your nose, and your mouth.
As well as your chest and your lungs.
They help us feel connected and grounded.

4.    Place your hands on your chest and take a nice, deep breath in.

5. Let it out slowly, like you’re letting go of any tension or worries.

6.    Notice how your ribs move as you breathe.
Rising up with each inhale, and sinking down with each exhale.

7.    And if your mind starts to wander (which happens to the best of us), gently guide it back to your anchor point —
whether it’s your breath, your hands on your chest, or any cozy sensation you’re feeling.”
