ALT “The alphabet game is where you name something for every letter of the alphabet within any category of subject. This could be animals, people’s names, foods etc. I had never found something that had me back to thinking logically and calmly so fast. Now it is definitely my go-to exercise for anxious days (mine, or other people’s). This isn’t an instant fix by any means, and everyone will have different experiences, but it’s an excellent grounding technique to get your brain switched back from the fear and panic that has thrown all rationality out the window.”
