Over time this process will help people become less anxious about what they fear and more confident in themselves.
Instead of getting irritated at someone for feeling anxious, ask them “how can I make you feel better?” or “is there something I can do to make you feel better right now?”

Anxiety, depression, and other different mental health concerns typically come from trauma, too much stress, poor self-esteem, or even chemical imbalances.
If it is done consistently morning and night for many weeks, individuals can begin to feel less anxious, more motivated, and more in control of themselves again.
