This week, we talked about a few different ways that you can cope with anxiety. Finding coping skills that will work for you can take time; you may have to come back to this module multiple times so that you can continue practicing and find out what works best for you. Below are some summary points to keep in mind as you continue to practice coping skills:

1. Identifying anxiety is important because it lets us know when we need to use coping skills.
2. Coping skills can help us calm down or relax. Find out which coping skills work for you so that you can use them to relax when you are not in an anxiety-provoking situation (e.g., reading, drawing), or when you are facing situations that cause anxiety (e.g., deep breathing, having a fidget toy, 5-4-3-2-1).
3. You should use your coping skills throughout the LUNA program as you learn to face your fears.

Over the next week, make sure you remember to:

1. Practice the two coping skills you identified on the worksheet. Try your best to find a time when you can practice each day. Use the to keep track of your practice.
2. Continue completing the activities in your plan of action and log them in your .
3. If you feel ready, make a new plan of action to complete by referring to Module 4.
