<\/a><\/div> Anxiety is a mental health condition that can have a huge impact of a sufferer’s life. Too often, people dealing with anxiety try to cut themselves off from the rest of the world. If you have anxiety, you don’t need to suffer by yourself. You can do many things to lower your anxiety and these tips can help.\n\nExercising on a daily basis can help to keep your anxiety at bay. Physical activity is known to produce endorphins, which will make you happy and divert your mind from the issues that are causing you stress. Additionally, experts recommend physical activity to maintain your general health and well-being.\n\nMonitor your breathing when you get stressed. Your breaths get shorter, may vary, or even become erratic. It’s easy for you to forget how to breathe correctly when you’re suffering from a lot of anxiety. However, it is still important for our bodies to get the correct intake of food, water and air. Try refocusing your breathing when you’re having an attack.\n\nWriting your thoughts in a journal can help you unload some of your thoughts so you can sleep. This is a good way to focus on what is bothering you so you can move on and relax. Try to write each night, or use it when you feel the need to get your feelings out.\n\nMany people who have stress and anxiety aren’t getting enough relaxation time. Dedicate some of your time each day to relax. Just relaxing for a few minutes each day will reduce your anxiety over the long run.\n\nGive yourself a daily goal, then focus on working hard enough to achieve it. Doing this will give you something to focus on each day, which helps to eliminate those negative and anxious feelings you may have. Instead, you can put your thoughts into something that is much more constructive.\n\nTry consuming less alcohol or tobacco. Despite thinking that these substances offer relaxation, they do not. To be honest, both substances can lead to greater feelings of anxiety than you had before you started using them. Instead, shift towards something that is healthy, such as relaxation therapies, a diet that is healthy and positive social activities.\n\nWhen you feel anxiety coming on, find an activity to distract yourself. Hang around positive people that you enjoy being with or take part in an enjoyable activity. Not only can you relax by doing this, you can also keep yourself from dwelling on your problems and making them worse.\n\nHave a good, hard look at your anxieties and try to ascertain what is triggering it. For instance, are you getting more stressed at work? If that is the case, discuss the issue with your supervisor. Understanding what causes you to feel anxious is a powerful strategy for reducing the symptoms.\n\nAs stated in the article from above, when dealing with a great amount of anxiety, more often than not, you are feeling miserable. Luckily, the anxiety-busting guidelines listed here could really help you. Refer often to this article so that you can recall the tips shared here at any time you might need them.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
