I Have a Challenge for You

How To Take Action
A good way of doing is to start by recognizing when you feel anxious. This will be your chance to practice staying calm on the outside. When you notice your heart racing or your mind worrying, focus on taking slow, deep breaths. This is a small step that can really help to calm your body and mind. It doesn't cost anything, and nobody has to know what you are doing.
I would suggest implementing an "act as if" strategy. Pretend you're an actor playing a calm character. Stand up straight, speak slowly, and smile. These small changes in how you act can make a difference. You might even start to feel a little calmer inside.
Remember to be kind to yourself. It's okay if it's hard to act calm when you are not feeling it. Just like learning to ride a bike or write your name, it takes practice. Try doing these things every time you feel anxious.
Lastly, try to shift your focus to something else. If you're worried about something, do an activity you enjoy, talk to a friend about a different subject, or think about a happy memory. This helps your mind move away from the anxious thoughts.
By taking small, easy steps, you can train yourself to stay calm on the outside even when you're feeling anxious inside. With practice, it gets easier, and it's something you can start trying today.
