Sufferers of anxiety know how difficult it is to keep calm and think clearly during stressful situations. If you really want to change these techniques can be very beneficial, but you must put in the effort to make them successful.
My first recommendation is taking up regular exercise and sticking to it. Consistency is the key, not just when you can be bothered.
Okay, here's the deal. You suffer from anxiety, want to get better but hate exercise. Well, that's tough basically. If you work out or go for a swim or a cycle four times a week or more I guarantee you will feel better and a whole lot more relaxed. So you owe it to yourself to try it.
Swapping your regular drinks for herbal teas can have a great effect on your mind and your body. The calming effects of Chamomile and Jasmine are well documented and can really help you to relax.
If neither exercise nor herbal teas are having the desired effect, well don't lose heart, there are plenty of other things for you to try. Try and set aside a few minutes a day in a quiet place and practice meditation. This ancient art of relaxation has been practiced for centuries and fans swear by it.
Music is an incredibly powerful medium, and lying down in a room with music playing in the background will relax both your body and mind. If you fancy being a bit more adventurous learn to play an instrument. Your stress levels will fall to an all time low and you will have accomplished something as well.
What you must make sure that you do is that when you try one of these strategies, you stick with it a significant amount of time before deciding it's not the one for you and moving on. The only exception to this rule is the herbal tea which can be combined. Only one a time so you get the full benefits by being able to give it your full attention.
Good luck to you and remember you have taken that important first step by trying to help yourself.
