Anxiety And Tension
How I Deal With My Anxiety
Anxiety is defined as “a state of uneasiness and
apprehension, as about future uncertainties”. Dealing with anxiety is
different for each person, and what works for some may not work for
others.
Some of the things that I utilize to
deal with my anxiety are:
Meditation
Mediation is a perfect way to
relax. Meditation help you focus on one’s inner-self and let the
problems, uncertainties and fears slip out of focus. This way, you can
allow for a clearer solution to be found. Sometimes simply stepping away
from your problems and calming down can help you see solutions.
Exercise
Anxiety
can leave you feeling depressed and run-down. But, with exercise, you
can reinvigorate yourself. Exercise can boost endorphins in your body,
leaving you feeling refreshed and less anxious.
Yoga
Yoga is a
form of exercise that does not involve impact. Yoga is more a series of
fluid movements and stretches than vigorous exercise. The fluidity of
yoga is very invigorating, yet it is relaxing and calming while still
producing endorphins in your system.
Talking
Sometimes talking
about the things that are making you feel anxious can really help
lighten the burden of the anxiety. Find someone that you trust to talk
to. By vocalizing your anxiety, you may find that you are less anxious.
Relaxing
By
indulging in whatever relaxes you the most - a bubble bath, a walk in
the park, watching a movie - you can allow your anxiety to pass by not
focusing on it and instead enjoying your relaxing time. Detaching
yourself from your problems and fears, even briefly, can help you cope
with anxiety.
