Top 10 Tips To Avoid Anxiety
- If you are suffering in anxiety you have 2 choices. Giving in to it or learning to live with it. Giving into it also means that your partner will suffer the burden of your fears so, to make your lives a better place to be, try to find some ways to eliminate or at least limit this feeling by taking responsibility for your emotions and knowing you have a choice.
- When you get up tomorrow begin to do something right away, and keep yourself busy all the day.Taking action by doing something, almost anything, will really help you to work through your anxiety. Sometimes it is making the dishes or working in your garden. Other times it is meditating or reading. Just sitting around and thinking about your worries and problems would not make them go away.
- Focus your attention on where the feeling of anxiousness is in your body and keep your attention there until the feeling moves or dissolves. For instance the tension could be in your neck or abdomen. Whenever your attention wanders, bring it back to that place in your body where the physical feeling is. Performing it for 5 or 10 minutes can decrease, if not eliminate, the anxiety.
- Anxiety will increase and grow day by day if it is not directed into some positive actions. Find someone who requires you and lend him or her a helping hand. It will almost always take your mind off your fears and problems. Helping others is really a way of taking responsibility and action for your own healing.
- Talking and sharing your problems with your close ones is one of the best ways to avoid anxiety. Getting together with your family members and friends, even your fellow patrons at Starbucks, and talking about what you are feeling can be very helpful to avoid anxiety. If you are unable to talk to someone, try visiting an appropriate internet chat room or writing a letter.
- Exercise is another effective way to keep from letting your fears overcome. Sometimes smooth forms of exercise as yoga and walking can be better than a hard workout at the gym. Do what works best for you at the moment and donтАЩt worry about breaking your casual routine, that change may actually help to decrease your anxiety.
- Begin a gratitude journal, write down 3 to 5 things that you are grateful for. Do it at night daily, it works and very easy to do. Keep yourself aware of all the good that surrounds you. You can also write down for a releasing journal in which you write about your anxiety and the actions that you can take to overcome those fears.
- The opposite of fear is faith. When you are anxious, a great way to get rid of it is to have firm faith. Trusting that things will get better is sometimes all it takes to make it better. It also assists to never underestimate the power of positive prayer or visualization, if it can cure cancer it can also decrease your anxiety.
- If watching the news gives you anxiety, then simply turn off the TV. The world will continue to revolve even if you are not watching it on CNN. Limit yourself for news to one hour daily and donтАЩt watch anything which may cause to upset you before go to bed.
- Courage is not the absence of fear, but taking action in spite of fear. Doing something new or confronting a fear by taking some baby steps is much more positive than to do nothing. If you require a better reason pick an action that will be helpful to someone else.
If you find that none of the tips above work, then you should take it serious look and consult with a qualified physician and therapist. Learn to take control of your life and never let your fears run you.
