1. Gather information: Increase control by gathering information about an anxiety-provoking situation, which can decrease feelings of helplessness by increasing planning, preparation, or prevention.

2. Identify coping strategies: Plan in advance to use coping strategies in controllable situations, such as brainstorming with supportive friends and family or joining a support group.

3. Focus on what you can control: Perceive more control over outcomes by focusing on what you can control, rather than what you cannot.

4. Practice hope-oriented thinking: Practice agency-oriented and pathway-oriented thinking, which includes motivation in your beliefs about having influence over outcomes.

5. Take action: Take action towards your goals, even if it’s a small step, to increase a sense of control and hope. Remember, hope and control are related yet distinct constructs, and hope uniquely predicts expecting outcomes that are objectively within a person’s control, which can indirectly reduce anxiety.
