If you find it difficult to figure out whether these techniques are working for you, use a log or "Mood Tracker" to keep track of how you feel before and after each activity.
For example, before you do the Progressive Muscle Relaxation exercise, rate your anxiety and muscular tension on a scale from 0 (no anxiety) to 100 (severe anxiety).
Once you’ve completed the exercises, re-rate your anxiety or level of tension in your body.
See how they compare. That might help you figure out which technique works for you.
Lastly, be sure to show yourself kindness and patience! We’re all in this together.
