a really excellent way to reduce anxiety is to pick up a new hobby. find something you’re interested in, learn it, then use it as a healthy and productive way to cope.
ohh man for a couple days i didn’t realize each one of these was a link? and then i tried the learn how to code thing. and dude i have to psa about this because that site, codecademy? i have tried to learn programming (in this case html) MULTIPLE TIMES and never found a way that actually captured my interest and also made sense and that one does. you’re constantly learning how to do something and doing it—it’s all learn by doing!—and they start small and explain everything and go in a logical order to build up from there and like. add to your vocabulary.
also, it’s a really good way to procrastinate? that might sound funny, but i think it’s actually more effective to find good ways to procrastinate than not to do it at all. if you ever feel like you want to accomplish something but can’t focus, this gives you a way to feel like you’re constantly accomplishing things and it also focuses your brain so you can go on and focus on other things!
