The anxiety cycle is a loop of thoughts, feelings, and physical reactions that can leave you feeling stuck and overwhelmed. Understanding how the cycle works is the first step to breaking free. In this guide, you’ll learn what the anxiety cycle is, how to spot when you’re in it, and gentle tools like grounding, breathwork, and affirmations to help you step out of the loop and feel calmer.

Grounding techniques are strategies that help you reconnect with the present moment. When you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or traumatic memories, you might feel disconnected from your body and surroundings. Grounding brings you back to reality by focusing your attention on what's happening right now, rather than getting lost in thoughts about the past or worries about the future. These techniques can act as an anchor, helping you feel more stable, secure, and in control.
