How do you focus on the positive when something triggers anxiety?

This can be a difficult thing to do when you are feeling this way. Its not easy to always divert your mind away from the racing thoughts that anxiety can cause. You can try to turn to something that makes you feel good, or something that takes your mind off the situation if you feel that you are triggered. PERSONALLY, I come to 7cups :0)

When something triggers anxiety, I think of a response that will both encourage the other person and myself. I am reminded that I'm not alone in this struggle, and that's why I want to help other people.

Try to practice slow breathing or listen to some music with headphones. Look outside if you're near a window and just enjoy the weather even if it isn't sunny. Focus on what makes you happy even if you feel shaky and upset.

Have a wall/poster in your room with positive things; stuff you like, uplifting quotes etc. Also, there are various apps for phones that give you positive quotes, this has helped me as well.

The same way I did times ago, that helped me overcome my most harder days. Things always worked out for the best for me as a person who always did right things.

Listen to Good Music, Watch Movies , Drop into a Fantasy or Just Sleep.............. Best Things to do to Divert your Focus ... and You will find out a way........ We only get struck because we Panic in Hard times.. just Try not to get panicked and Your brain will work Better....

I realize the choice I have in not the anxiety but the the gift and curse of life. Me being who I am means that I have the ultimate decision On what happens. At some point though, it's okay to ask for help in the struggle.

It can help to write down 5 positive things and then consider the thing that is triggering the anxiety. What is the worst case scenario? Is it really that bad?

Coping skills are the best things. You can try doing something you like or do something as simple as trying to do breathing exercises.

Tell yourself, "I will figure things out." If your anxiety level is high. Get out the physical space where you get trigger. Go outside and somewhere quiet. Do some breathing exercise to make sure you are breathing properly. Try not to start the self-blaming cycle. Be curious. Focus on the possible solution. Most of the time when we think we are losing our control, we go panicky. So find the silverlining in your situation. Sometimes people will remind you things could have been worse. If you are still very triggered, pay more attention to the objects around you. The ground you are standing on. What can you see? What you hear? What can you smell? Our brains can focus on one things at a time. Pay attention to your surrounding. Hopeful your brain will put anxiety on hold for a little bit.
