Anxiety affects roughly 6.8 million adults and plenty more children. The good news about stress, anxiety and panic attacks is that they are often quite controllable. If you happen to be someone who regularly suffers from them, here are a few techniques you can practice to help keep your anxiety under control.
1. Take Care of Yourself
Treating anxiety involves taking care of both your body and your mind. Make sure that you eat a diet that is well balanced and is full of whole grains as well as fresh fruit and vegetables. It might be helpful to keep a journal of everything you eat because some anxiety attacks can be triggered by allergies to certain foods. Keep away from alcohol, nicotine, caffeine and sugar as all of these can trigger panic and anxiety attacks.
2. Try Not To Worry About Tomorrow
A lot of anxiety attacks are brought on by fear of the future. By focusing on your current situation instead of worrying about what is to come, you could do a lot to keep your anxiety under control. There is a reason the saying "one day at a time" is so popular. Some support groups even use it as a motto.
3. Stay Active
It is important that you follow your usual routines, even when you are experiencing high levels of anxiety. By following a regular routine you will be better able to focus on something besides your anxiety which can do a great deal to keep you calm. Staying physically active with exercise is another great way to reduce your stress--stress that has an adverse affect on your anxiety levels.
4. Break Your Routine
While it is important to follow a normal schedule, it is entirely possible that part of that daily routine is responsible for part of your anxiety. By changing things up once in a while or by doing something that is completely out of the ordinary, you can curb your anxiety by introducing some excitement into your life.
5. Seek Medical Attention
If you have tried everything you can think of to curb your stress and it keeps coming back, you might be suffering from an anxiety disorder. An anxiety disorder can only be diagnosed by a licensed mental health professional, and if your anxiety is so strong that it needs medication to stay under control, it is your licensed therapist that can prescribe the medication that you need.
