I also followed a method similar to the 3-2-1 approach. I joined a mindfulness workshop and began meditating daily even if it was just for five minutes. I became more physically active and exercised, albeit irregularly. I also restarted therapy, initially on a weekly basis and later switching to biweekly sessions.
What I found particularly helpful was journaling and writing in general; sometimes free-writing to release emotions and experiences, other times writing intentionally with a focus on gratitude.
There isn’t a single solution; it’s more about finding the right combination of practices that work together.
Hey thanks for the comment! Yeah I'm only just learning how to meditate recently. I used to think it was clearing the mind completely, but learnt recently it's more about noticing what thoughts come up. I hope you can get it back soon :)

Hey thanks for sharing this! I'd love to hear more about the free writing technique, that sounds really interesting.
I was just talking to a friend about anxiety and your substack came up. I miss mediation. I'd love to get it back in my life.
