In this episode, Dr. Jana Price-Sharps teaches how to diversify your coping, pick strategies that truly lower anxiety, and avoid helpers that accidentally inflame it. You will hear why calling an anxious friend can escalate panic, how a glass of wine can turn into a bottle after a rough day, and what to try instead, from happy playlists and favorite photo albums to getting outside, mowing the lawn, fishing, or crafting. Use a simple three by five card to list five or six reliable options, then reach for it when your brain is spinning, so your body can recalibrate and your sleep, mood, and digestion improve.
