The course emphasizes that anxiety can often trigger a fight-or-flight response, which is not always helpful in modern scenarios. To manage anxiety, quick fixes such as breathing exercises, physical movement, distractions, and sensory engagement are recommended. Additionally, grounding exercises help reconnect with the present moment, reminding the body of sensations beyond anxiety.
