Understanding anxiety, how to spot the signs, tips for parents/young people and how to find more help.

What is Anxiety?

Anxiety is actually a perfectly normal human state, and despite its presence in the headlines as a major player in the mental ill-health of many people, it actually has its uses!

At moderate levels of anxiety, a person’s performance and attention to detail can improve. However, it becomes a problem when the feelings become more intense, last for a long time and begin to negatively impact on how well you can do things, your enjoyment of things and family life.

In general, stress and fear are seen as responses to specific, external factors, whereas anxiety is often internal and is usually concerned with what could or might happen.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness, in a nutshell, is being able to focus on the present moment. It can be practised anywhere but preferably somewhere quiet to aid relaxation and reflection. Activities within our ‘Relaxation’ scheme of work are not all focused on mindfulness itself but the activities within allow students to reflect on past, present and future emotions and feelings.

Below is a brief overview of some of the things we cover:

Deep Breathing Exercises

Students focusing on their breath through teacher led step by step instructions.

Muscle Relaxation

Aim to tense and relax the whole body by starting with the head and neck and working all the way down to the toes. By focusing on each body part and tensing it for a set amount of time allows the mind to stay focused.

Mindfulness Activities

Listening to an audio clip through directed mindfulness or trying to develop this independently.

Yoga

Relaxation poses.

Visual Imagery

Student led descriptive texts based around relaxing places and trying to engage students to imagine they are in a specific place away from stress and worries.

Activities

Activities to clear the mind and focus on a specific task at present: Colouring in, reading, listening to music, friendship bracelets, playing cards, playing with playdoh.
