what are some good and healthy distractions from my anxiety when it gets really bad?

try going for a walk or listen to music to help relax you . Do some mediation or yoga excerises. Thinking of place like for example like beach that you are ther.

Take a deep breath and breath in for 8, breath out for 8. Then list 5 things you can see near you, 4 things you can touch near you, 3 things you hear around you, 2 things you can smell around you, and 1 thing you can taste. What does your mouth taste like at the moment. This strategy helped me and is a common one, and you can get your mind off of your anxiety for a while.

Exercise is a great distraction from anxiety and can help to reduce anxiety levels. Meditation and mindfulness activities can also provide a good distraction from your anxiety.

Sometimes things like math problems or art projects can help me. Talking to people (doesn't even have to be about yourself) might make you feel less anxious if you are an extrovert

I think anything can get your endorphins up is a awesome distraction when it comes to anxiety. try and get up and get your heart rate going youll feel better in no time

My favorite distraction is my cat, but this works for any pet. Pets are one of the BEST distractions, try playing with your pet or just snuggling, trust me it works wonders.

There are many ways to distract yourself from your anxiety! Distractions can be anything that takes your focus away from your fears and onto something else. Distractions are different for everyone - some people find watching videos on YouTube a good distraction, others find chatting with a friend to work for them. Remember that your mind has to be off of the anxious thoughts for at /least/ four minutes before your body stops feeling anxious. Our biochemical bodies can't match the speed of our bioelectrical brains!

Anything like meditation to music therapy would be healthy distractions. Nothing else, just concentrate on your breathing.

Remember to breathe. And try to do an activity that gets you connected to your body so you can connect your mind to your body. When I do a body based activity it really helps bring me out of my head.
