UNINSTALLING ANXIETY!

ANXIETY: IT GETS WORSE THEN IT GETS BETTER

Anxiety is a normal emotion. It’s your brain’s way of reacting to stress and alerting you of potential danger ahead.  The first day of school, going to a job interview, or giving a speech may cause most people to feel fearful and nervous.

But if your feelings of anxiety are extreme, last for longer than six months, and are interfering with your life, you may have an anxiety disorder.

Before we get into learning about how to deal with anxiety, just remember that it is absolutely fine to feel anxious even with no reason. 

TIPS TO MANAGE ANXIETY

1. Take deep breaths : That is right, simple breathing. It is free and can be practiced anywhere. Deep breathing increases the supply of oxygen to your brain and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, which raises a state of calmness.

2. Get to the root of your anxiety: Questioning your thought pattern can help you in figuring out what's bothering you. Learn what triggers your anxiety. 

3. Dear diary, it's me again: Keeping a journal or a notepad and writing down what you're feeling, gets it out of your head and can make it less discouraging.

4. Do your best: Instead of aiming perfection, be proud of however close you get. The idea of something being perfect is illusion. Be the best version of yourself. 

5. Time for bedtime stories: When stressed, your body needs additional sleep and rest. Getting sufficient sleep can help in managing anxiety. For the love of god, get enough sleep you adorable thing!

6. Hello Chandler Bing : Laughter is the best medicine. Humor helps you keep a positive, optimistic outlook through difficult situations, disappointments and loss.
