Ten ways to reduce anxiety

Ten ways to reduce anxiety ; 

1. Talk to a friend or someone with similar anxieties. The relationship will give you a sense of normalcy. You are not alone! 

2. EXERCISE. Anything that will get your heart going will improve serotonin levels in the brain. This will give off energy and mental stability.... And a tighter *** Yoga is great for the mind. Meditation is very powerful & by practicing yoga you can reduce stress. 

3.Drink water! Our bodies need water and it's our job to drink it! Water will give your body the hydration needed to be healthy. ahhh flush away those anxieties 

4. Take B vitamins daily! B vitamins are packed with the good stuff our brains need. These B vitamins will improve your over all mental wellness & clarity. 

5. Journal, sometimes just writing out what's on your mind can clear your mind. Put it aside and let the book become a personal therapist! 

6. Sleep. Studies show people who  get   eight hours of sleep at night, are less anxious though out the day than those who got less .And no there is nothing wrong with a twenty minuets power nap to recharge, but nothing more b/c you may fall into REM a deep sleep. Deep sleeping is better saved for recharging at night. 

7.Make time for yourself & stick to it! Just knowing you have 30 mins of "me time" will reduce a great quantity of stress. And yes, you really do deserve it. Reading, Bubble-bath, bike rides. Are all great ways to relax.  

8. Surround yourself with positive people. Positive vibes are contagious. There's something about a optimist that makes life that much better , there is always a good in everything ! 

9. Eat a healthy diet. Just like drinking water , our bodies need nutrients to flourish. Some of these stress tackling foods ate; Almonds, spinach, fish, & even a piece of dark chocolate. Herbal teas are great as well, our a cup of chamomile tea and let the stress melt away ! 

10. Don't be afraid to go talk to your doctor. Therapist are not as awful sounding as they used to be, & hey a life coach will give you strategies for dealing with your own personal anxieties.  

These are just a few of my strategies for dealing with anxiety. Hope I helped!
