Do you often feel sudden waves of anxiety or panic?
At Dr. Iniyan's Mind Health Clinic, we believe in empowering our patients with practical tools alongside professional treatment. Next time you feel overwhelmed, try this "Grounding" exercise to bring your mind back to the present: π 5 Things you see: Look around and name 5 objects. β 4 Things you feel: Touch the fabric of your chair, your clothes, or the table. π 3 Things you hear: Listen for traffic, birds, or the AC hum. π 2 Things you smell: Take a deep breath. Notice any scents. π 1 Thing you taste: Take a sip of water. This technique helps disengage the "fight or flight" response. While this tool is helpful for immediate relief, chronic anxiety requires professional care.
