Kicking Away Anxiety
Anxiety creates feelings of fear and worry. Here are some quick tips on how to kick away anxiety and get anxious thoughts out of your heads:
- Acknowledge your feelings. Be more aware of your anxiety / distress and do not try to repress your feelings.
- Stop and take a short break. Whenever you feel overwhelmed, go somewhere quiet and take some slow and deep breaths for several minutes to relax yourself.
- Calm down and refocus. Take some time to analyse the situations and ask others for opinions.
- Release your mind. Don’t rely on memory! Always write things down to release your mind.
- Confront and evaluate your anxiety. Make a list of the things that worry you or trigger stress and evaluate them objectively. Discern those which have been over-catastrophized.
- Slow down and relax regularly. Take up meditation or yoga or other forms of relaxation exercises. Make time to practice at least one relaxation technique everyday.
