Instead of looking for one quick solution, combine several manageable habits.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:false,&quot;134245529&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:100,&quot;335559739&quot;:100,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Start by\u00a0identifying\u00a0situations that regularly trigger\u00a0anxious feelings. You could keep a simple journal and note what happened, what you were thinking, how you felt, and what you did afterwards. Over time, patterns may become easier to\u00a0recognise.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:false,&quot;134245529&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:100,&quot;335559739&quot;:100,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Next, focus on what you can\u00a0control. If schoolwork is causing worry, break assignments into smaller tasks. If an upcoming interview is making you nervous,\u00a0practise\u00a0common questions\u00a0and prepare your documents. Turning a vague problem into specific actions can make anxiety feel less overwhelming.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:false,&quot;134245529&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:100,&quot;335559739&quot;:100,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 aria-level=\"2\"><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">How can breathing exercises help with anxiety?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:false,&quot;134245529&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:100,&quot;335559739&quot;:100,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Slow, controlled breathing can help your body move away from a heightened stress response. When you notice\u00a0anxiety\u00a0building, pause and take several slow breaths.

Constantly checking news, messages, or social media can keep your mind in a state of alertness. Choose specific times to check updates instead of feeling that you must respond\u00a0immediately\u00a0to everything.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;134245418&quot;:false,&quot;134245529&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559738&quot;:100,&quot;335559739&quot;:100,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Remember that progress does not mean never feeling anxious.
