Advice To Help You Manage Your Anxiety

Anxiety! We all experience it at some point in our lives. Some of us struggle with it every day of our lives. Some of us experience it only a couple times throughout life. I am going to give you a couple things to add into your daily/weekly routine to help you manage your anxiety.

Evening Bubble Bath

Whether you want to read, turn on a netflix show, or just sit there and clear your mind and relax, this could really help you to ease your mind calm your anxiety before bed. You can go even further by doing aromatherapy in your humidifier while you sit in the bath. Don't have one? You can buy my favorite one and the essential oils here.

Yoga

There are so many different types of yoga and they are all at your fingertips. You can youtube yoga for anxiety, weight loss, stress relief, before bed, in the morning, etc. Work in as many yoga routines throughout your week as you can.

Meditation

Meditation is sssooo good for your mental health! There are so many studies that show how good meditation is for your brain. Practicing this, even before bed, can help you sleep deeper and not wake up from your anxiety, and calm your anxiety throughout the day.

Puppies!

(I call grown dogs puppies too) Anyway! Puppies are so good for your mental health. In college around finals, the school would bring puppies to the school library for students to play with to help with their stress and anxiety about finals. Having your own pup to cuddle with when your anxiety is extra high can help you relax and unwind a bit.

Writing

This can be in a journal, diary, on your laptop, whatever. Writing about your day can really help you let go of things and move on from whatever happened that day that caused you anxiety.

Figure out where you are most at peace

For example, after a long stressful day at work, I feel the least amount of anxiety when I can get home, change, and lounge on the couch watching my favorite tv shows. So I make it a point to do this every day for at least an hour. Do you feel the most at peace when you are reading? Playing video games? Online shopping? Surfing the web? Cleaning? DO IT!

Working these things into your daily and weekly routine will help manage your anxiety. While it is hard to completely get rid of your anxiety, it is possible to manage it. Make your life a bit easier and manage your anxiety the best way you can.
