According to recent studies, more people are affected by anxiety than by any other illness or disease. If symptoms of anxiety are left untreated, the impacts could impact day-to-day tasks and overall quality of life. Don’t wait to seek help if you’re experiencing any symptoms of anxiety or panic disorder

We’ll discuss a variety of methods that you can begin practicing today to help manage and reduce your symptoms. 

  1. Find a hobby: channel your inner child and find something you truly enjoy. It doesn’t have to be exciting to everyone, just to you. You may be surprised to learn what you’re actually good at. Use the internet as a resource if you don’t know how to start. For example, learn to cook on YouTube or listen to a new true-crime podcast.
  2. Reduce or limit caffeine intake: this advice seems like a no-brainer. If it were that easy to lose the cup of joe, we would all do it, right? It may be the first thing we overlook too often, but may have the biggest impact on our anxiety. Research has shown that too much caffeine affects our cortisol levels which can throw our hormones through the roof. It would be unrealistic to say to cut out caffeine completely but perhaps reduce your intake slowly without quitting cold turkey. Try changing it up a bit by switching your coffee to something more natural like green tea and boosting your energy with nutrition, sleep, and activity.
     
  3. Get active: don’t let the gym intimidate you, and definitely don’t overcomplicate it. Just listen to your body and get your body moving; whatever that may look like to you. It could be as simple as an evening walk, a bike ride with your family, or a free yoga class on a Saturday morning. When you do what feels good, your body will release endorphins and naturally, you will want to continue healthy habits. Healthy habits are formed by being consistent even when the motivation wears off.
  4. Join a community: initially, this might not make sense to someone who is suffering from anxiety to go out there and meet people. However, anxiety is so much more common than we could even imagine. In fact, 1 in 6 people living in the US suffers from anxiety. This data should be enough to convince you that you are not alone. Which is one of the main reasons we strongly advise you to seek a community where you can feel seen and trusted.
  5. Journaling: there is nothing like going back to basics with a good old-fashioned notepad and pen. Journaling has been an effective tool to release any anxiety that is built up. Think of it as putting it down on paper, it’s out of your head and you can let the thought go. There is something very powerful about putting your thoughts into words. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Journaling is a safe space for your thoughts and ideas, or simply to vent about your day.

It’s time we make our mental health a priority. There are many different methods to manage anxiety and reduce any feelings of panic. Find a solution that not only works for you but makes you feel good too. Talk with a professional healthcare provider and discuss treatment options today.
