When anxiety makes you feel jittery or untethered, try giving your body something to push against.
Stand facing a wall. Place your palms flat on it. Press firmly, like you're trying to move the wall, for about ten seconds. Then release and shake out your hands. Repeat three times. This kind of pressure gives your muscles and joints clear feedback about where you are in space. It's a quick, discreet way to come back into your body, and kids love it too.
