Anxiety can be managed in a lot of ways, but two important strategies are calming and controlling.

BEFORE an anxiety event:

• Plan ahead to give yourself enough time to feel prepared (control)
• Have a plan with specific goals/tasks you can check off (control)
• Take mental & physical breaks as you work ahead of time (calm)
• Write about your anxieties ahead of time to help let them go (control)
• Walk or be outside in nature briefly before the event (calm)

DURING a test or other anxiety event:

• Survey/preview the entire thing to know what's coming (control)
• Try looking up and to the left to trigger memory if blanking (control)
• Mentally make a strategic plan to maximize time/points/effort (control)
• Take deep breaths with closed eyes between problems or sections (calm)
