Anxiety can be caused by an array of events or circumstances. For some people, anxiety is hereditary, for others it is caused by stress.
Regardless of the cause of your anxiety, we all experience the same symptoms:
Excessive worrying.
Muscle tension.
Difficulty sleeping.
Preoccupation or difficulty concentrating.
Muscle fatigue and body pain.
Sleepiness.
Feeling keyed-up.
Managing your stress can significantly improve your anxiety symptoms. Follow these steps to get your stress and anxiety under control:
Stay away from coffee or caffeinated beverages– Caffeine can often trigger anxiety symptoms because of the jittery feeling it gives you.
Moderate your alcohol intake- Alcohol can boost your serotonin levels, which can lead to morning-after blues. Too much booze can cause a drop in blood sugar, which can trigger anxiety.
Eat a balanced diet- Fueling your body with nourishing foods will dictate the way you feel. Feeding your body with healthy foods will improve your mood.
Try Yoga- the benefits of yoga are endless. Practicing mindfulness through meditation is proven to improve your mood and anxiety.
Take a walk- Exercise is known to promote endorphins, aka happy hormones, which can decrease stress and anxiety.
Some stress can be a good thing, but chronic anxiety can have a lasting, negative impact on your life. Don’t stress about taking the plunge to get help when you need it. If you need advice on how to get help, check in with your primary care doctor, and they can point you in the right direction.
