Writing is another fantastic way of managing anxiety which may be helpful as part of your “toolkit” (or your child’s).Your doctor may also have some recommendations about things that can help you worry less and feel better, such as therapy or medication. Low impact exercises like walking, yoga, and tai-chi can often help people to reduce stress and manage anxiety symptoms.

When considering who to turn to, ask yourself whether you tend to feel better or worse after talking to that person about a problem.

While negative beliefs, or worrying about worrying, adds to your anxiety and keeps worry going, positive beliefs about worrying can be just as damaging.We may not actually think that most times, but our thoughts and actions imply that, when we live and act out of fear and worry. In a sense, we worry because we are made in the image of God, given an imagination that enables us to see the good and bad possibilities of life. We cannot eliminate it completely or control everything, but if your worries feel overwhelming there are lots of things you can try to manage or overcome them, including the "worry time" technique. Your child will learn how to better handle their anxiety and understand the situations that lead to it.

One of the reasons for this is that some people find noticing their negative thoughts too intense, and it can make them feel worse. Local support groups or self-help groups bring together people with similar experiences so that they can hear each other’s stories, share tips, and encourage each other to try out new ways to manage feelings of anxiety. Focusing your attention on the things that are under your control, on the other hand, can help you feel more empowered and may help you better cope with your worries.
