Happy Sunday everyone,

What are some self-help things that everyone does to try and relieve their anxiety???

I’ve been journaling, practicing deep breathing, reading and recently have been going to therapy.

What are some of the things you guys do?

Please share so everyone can bounce ideas off each other to try and help one another.

Happy Sunday!!

Exercise and grounding! When it’s hard to get walking or running I just imagine I’m running from the anxiety gremlins. That’s motivating 😁

Hi t_nguyen701, Happy Sunday to you as well

ACCEPTANCE of Anxiety is the first step. Understanding how anxiety works with the Mind/Body Connection. What we think is how we feel. Trying different methods that make a difference for yourself is all important. What works for one, doesn't for another. Over the years, I looked into and tried every different method out there. Some worked very well but were also very cash draining. But nothing is ever at a loss. We take something away from everything we have tried.

I still haven't stopped learning but use what works best for me which is Meditation/Deep Breathing. But it's not just for when you need it but must become a part of your life. Once you have this by your side, you can get through anything life may throw your way including normal daily stress.

It's become a part of who I am now. I'm a more calmer, laid back person. That doesn't mean anxiety won't test me, but I know how to accept it, push it aside and go on with my life. You will too t_nguyen. Take everything you can from the forum. It's free x

I like learning from mindfulness reflections, meditations, poems, writing. I like taking care of myself like using a nice lotion. I like doing thoughtful things for others. Oh and I’ve been addicted to exercise lately.

Oh another thing is what is eaten which plays into mood.
