How to manage anxiety

Updated: Dec 16, 2022

There are several effective ways to manage anxiety, including the following:


Practice relaxation techniques: Deep breathing, meditation, and progressive muscle relaxation can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety and calm the mind.


Exercise regularly: Physical activity can help reduce stress and improve mood, which can in turn help reduce anxiety.


Get enough sleep: Sleep deprivation can exacerbate anxiety, so it's important to get enough restful sleep on a regular basis.


Eat a healthy diet: A balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help support overall physical and mental well-being.


Avoid caffeine and other stimulants: Caffeine and other stimulants can increase anxiety, so it's best to limit or avoid these substances.


Talk to someone: Sharing your concerns and feelings with a trusted friend, family member, or mental health professional can help provide support and perspective.


Practice mindfulness: Focusing on the present moment and accepting thoughts and feelings without judgment can help reduce anxiety.


Challenge negative thoughts: Anxiety often involves distorted or negative thinking, so it can be helpful to challenge these thoughts and reframe them in a more positive light.


Consider therapy or medication: In some cases, therapy or medication may be necessary to manage anxiety effectively. It's important to speak with a mental health professional to determine the best course of action.
