Anxiety isn’t just a feeling – it takes over!

I HATE feeling anxious (and I’m sure you relate!)


It’s not just the physical sensations—like the racing heart, sweaty palms, and dry mouth—although they’re very uncomfortable.

For me, the worst part is the realization that I’m not in control.

For most of my life, I avoided feeling anxious by throwing myself into action—doing anything I could to dodge that feeling of powerlessness.

And for a while, it worked.

But then I became a mother…

You can’t run away from your emotions forever…

…and anxiety was no exception.

As a new mother, ALL my emotions were super-sized.

And anxiety brought along with it, a crew of unwelcome companions—intrusive thoughts, emotional flashbacks, panic, overthinking, and rumination.

I was left with no choice but to face my anxiety head-on.

Through mindfulness practices, I not only faced my anxiety—I learned to make friends with it and listen to the wisdom it has to offer.

Here’s what I discovered…


Feeling anxious is a sign that we care deeply.

It is the most exquisitely sensitive people who are prone to episodes of anxiety.

And here’s something else you should know:

Anxiety isn’t our enemy. In fact, anxiety tries to protect us.

It shows up to anticipate threats and give us the energy to guard ourselves against danger.

But when we’re in the grip of those overwhelming sensations, it’s almost impossible to slow down

long enough to hear the message anxiety is trying to send.

So, what do we do then?

We turn to practical, tangible tools, rooted in mindfulness principles,

to soothe the physical symptoms of anxiety—so that we can pause, breathe, and listen to what anxiety has to say.

And most importantly, so we can feel cared for and soothed by the one person who knows us best: ourselves.

That’s why I created this workshop—to guide you through building your very own personalized Anxiety Care Toolbox.


Unlike generic anxiety kits, this box is completely tailored to your needs.

You’ll handpick items and mindfulness techniques that work for you—things that bring you calm, comfort, and relief when you need them most.


In this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

Build a physical toolkit with soothing, grounding objects that you personally choose (like cozy shawls, calming stones, or your favorite scents).
Use mindfulness-based techniques to calm your mind and body, focusing on your senses to pull you back into the present moment.
Create personalized affirmations, rituals, and sensory-based practices that you can turn to when anxiety strikes.

You’ll also get access to 5 audio tracks to guide you through different mindfulness-based practices for anxiety, a gift from me to you.

By the end of this workshop, you’ll have a tangible, real-life box filled with tools to manage anxiety in a way that works for you—because only you know what truly calms you.


Frequently Asked Questions

If there’s anything you’d like to know about the Calm in a Box Workshop that isn’t covered below, please email me at nimisha@notjustmindfulness.com, and I’ll get back to you at the earliest.

An Anxiety Relief Toolkit or Emotion Care Box is a personalized collection of objects and practices designed to help you manage anxiety, stress, or overwhelming emotions. It contains items that bring you comfort, grounding, and calm when you need it most—things like essential oils, a journal, comforting textures, or even a weighted blanket.

However, Calm in a Box is about more than just physical objects; it is based on and includes mindfulness techniques that guide you through calming yourself in real-time, so you can pause, breathe, and listen to the wisdom behind your emotions.

Unlike generic anxiety kits, this box is 100% personalized to you. You’ll choose items and practices that you know work for calming and grounding yourself. This toolkit is designed to fit your unique needs, and I’ll guide you step by step through building it.

This is a hands-on, actionable workshop where you’ll learn to create your very own personalized anxiety relief toolkit. You’ll carefully select objects that help soothe and ground you during anxious moments, and you’ll also learn practical mindfulness-based techniques to manage anxiety, stress, or overwhelm.

Not at all! The beauty of this workshop is that you can work with things you already have around the house—like a cozy shawl, essential oils, stones, or even a journal. I’ll help you explore creative and affordable options to make this toolkit truly yours.

The workshop is designed to be engaging and actionable. It is 90-ish minutes long and is broken up into bite-sized modules that you can listen to in about 15 minutes. Add in some time to journal or take notes , and to gather your objects, and in a few hours (filled with playfulness and fun!), you’ll walk away with a fully personalized anxiety care box that you can use again and again.

That’s totally up to you. If you want to make mindfulness a habit in less than 5 minutes a day, I have another short and actionable course you can purchase. But the purpose of this workshop is to teach you mindfulness-based techniques to create an actual physical anxiety relief tool-kit. The goal is to give you tools to manage anxiety in real time, so you can reach for them whenever you feel overwhelmed.

Absolutely! This workshop is about what works for you, not about creating something perfect. The focus is on practical tools that help soothe your anxiety, and I’ll provide all the guidance you need to build a care box that’s meaningful and effective for you.

While the focus is on managing anxiety, this workshop is useful for anyone dealing with stress, overwhelm, or just wanting to create a toolkit for self-care and grounding. If you want to learn how to calm your mind and body in a personalized way, this workshop is for you.

Hi! I’m Nimisha

I’m a surgeon, so I know a thing or two about stress.
I’m a mother, so I know all about not having a moment to sip your coffee in peace, let alone dedicate hours to a meditation practice, or other self-care.
I’m an ADHD-er, so I know that what seems to work for everyone, doesn’t actually work for everyone.
Mindfulness saved my surgical career in 2016, but only changed my life in 2019 when I became a mother.
My approach to mindfulness is super-practical and trauma-aware, and is rooted in the body and leads to radical self-acceptance.
I believe, deeply and truly, that doing our inner work is what gives us the strength and clarity to impact the external world and leave it a better place. And that mindfulness is foundational when it comes to inner work.
