Do you want to know how to deal with anxiety?
Anxiety disorders affect nearly 40 million Americans each year, and almost everyone deals
with anxiety at one point or another.
But the negative side effects of prescription anxiety medication are sometimes worse than
the anxiety itself.
By practicing positive thought and utilizing some natural remedies, you can push anxiety
out of your mind and get back to enjoying your life.
Natural Remedies for Anxiety.
1.
Do something you enjoy to deal with anxiety.
The easiest way to fight bad thoughts is to do something else.
Distract yourself from needless anxiety by finding the hobbies, games, and activities
that you enjoy above everything else and go do them.
Not only will this alleviate anxiety in the short-term, it can help manage stress throughout
your life.
2.
Go outside to deal with anxiety.
Being outdoors has been proven to reduce anxiety and stress, so go for a walk, hike, or bike
ride.
Even sitting out on your porch gets you vital fresh air and natural light that can calm
you down slowly.
3.
Use calming scents and music to create an atmosphere of tranquility.
Your environment profoundly influences your levels of anxiety, which is why loud noises,
crowded places, and uncomfortable situations breed nervousness and jitters.
Make your environment a place of peace and comfort.
4.
Focus on your breathing to deal with anxiety.
Breathing exercises flood your body with oxygen and help you slow down your thought process.
This is extremely useful during periods of anxiety, as your brain often feels like it
just won't shut off.
Simply let air in slowly, and then hold for a few seconds in your lungs.
Let it out at a slow but comfortable pace, relax for a second, and then begin again.
5.
Try Progressive Muscle Relaxation.
This technique, often done in conjunction with breathing exercises, helps relax your
body and gives you something to focus on other than anxiety.
As you inhale, tense the muscles in your neck, then slowly release them as you exhale.
Work your way down into the arms, shoulders, chest, stomach, hips, legs, etc. until you
reach the feet and toes.
6.
Meditate once a day for at least 15 minutes.
Meditation is the practice of letting go of your thoughts and finding peace in your internal
monologue.
There is no "goal," or "correct" way to meditate.
Instead, it is a way to come to terms with your thoughts and find some measure of inner
peace.
Daily meditation, even for a few minutes, has been shown to lower anxiety and nervousness.
7.
Laugh away the anxiety.
Having a sense of humor may be the easiest natural way to fight anxiety.
Remember that most problems in life are not truly serious or traumatic, and that anxiety
is often an overreaction to common problems.
So find the funny side of things -- make a joke, laugh off a problem, and remember to
smile -- it is proven to make you happier.
8.
Try anxiety-reducing supplements and vitamins.
Available over the counter at many vitamin stores and large retailers, there are a variety
of supplements that may help soothe anxiety.
9.
