Ok look around your bachelor pad:
1. Find something you can see
Observe something and focus on it’s color, shape, size, and texture. Becoming focused and aware of the details can help you feel grounded. You can also count all the objects in a room that are all the same color or all the objects that are shaped the same.
2. Find something you can touch
Having something physically you can touch can help you feel grounded and calm. Try squeezing, rolling, or tossing something for a few minutes or until you feel better.
3. Find something you can hear
Music is always a good idea when you’re dealing with anxiety because the right song can instantly change your mood. Make an anxiety playlist with songs that make you feel at ease and play them when shit gets uneasy.
4. Find something you can smell
Whether it’s essential oils, your fave cologne, a candle, etc… smelling things will help you feel grounded. Close your eyes, take a deep breath of your fave scent and become aware of exactly what it smells like and how it makes you feel.
5. Find something you can taste
Ever heard of comfort food? Yeah it’s a real thing. When you eat something that tastes good it makes you feel good, most comfort food isn’t diet-friendly so you may have to find what works for you if you live a healthy lifestyle.
I hope some or all of these grounding techniques single men can try when dealing with anxiety can help you if you’re going through a difficult time.
