Nowadays there are hundreds of anxiety help guides, books and CDs to choose from. But the problem is trying to find something that actually works. The best advice I can give is to see a specialist or therapist to treat anxiety.
As well as therapy however, there are other things you can do to help the healing process. As an ex-anxiety sufferer myself I tried a lot of anxiety help guides. The following are the best tips I've found that actually made a difference.
Have fun and don't get stuck in a routine. I know this isn't easy especially if you have a family and a full time job. But you can still make the most of life and enjoy it. Rather than sit around with worrying thoughts which lead to nowhere, do something with your time.
Bake a cake, read a book, go for a swim, go for a scenic drive, join a class, meet new people; there are lots of things to do that can serve as both a distraction and also release of tension and stress.
Give yourself time to chill and unwind. We all need to do spend more time doing this and take a break from our stress filled lives. Slow breathing exercises can help reinvigorate and calm you.
There are also anxiety help forums if you need to share your problems. Don't let stress and anxiety build up. They will only increase anxiety symptoms. You just might find you anxiety improves by following these quick tips.
