What's working for me...

[NotToday]

Healthy Diet - no high sugar products, no caffeine, no alcohol, no fruit juice, no skipping meals, yes to lots of water, fruit, veggies and protein

Counseling - determining which life events may have caused my anxiety

Exercise - walk 30 min to 1 hr daily or every other day

Vitamins - discovering what my deficiencies are

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - change the way I think and react to the world; thinking, feeling and being positive; set S.M.A.R.T. goals

Forgiveness of Self - allow ups and downs or set backs; allow time to heal

Adequate Sleep

Saying NO - putting myself first; empowering myself; letting go of toxic people

Self-help Book - DARE by Barry McDonagh

This may seem like a lot, but start with one at a time and be optimistic at healing yourself!

Everything you say is something I would like to accomplish, too. Good luck to you! I am rooting for you and thinking how I can begin to do some of these myself. Thanks for posting this. I am saving your list!

Anxiety is like anything you do. The more effort you put in to something the better the outcome. Not an overnight cure, will be a lot of iOS and downs but all you have mentioned does have an impact. CBT, gym 3 times a week and a healthy diet works for me but still having set backs. Keep fighting guys

I still have set backs too, but they are becoming less frequent and more tolerable.
