1. Brake your comfort zone- Get uncomfortable and stay there until it becomes comfortable
2.Take deep breaths- When anxiety hits you'll naturally be taking in less oxygen. Take a slow, deep breath in for four seconds, then exhale for four seconds, and pause for four seconds. Continue as needed.
3.Make plans and go through with them- Anxiety makes you quite the flake. Next time you make plans with your friends do you best to keep them. Chances are once you are with them anxiety wont even be on your mind!
4.Call a friend- Having someone to talk to can make a huge difference. It can take your mind off of the current situation and before you know it your anxiety will have subsided.
5.Join a support group- It is a good feeling to know that you are not alone. Whether that be in anxiety or a terminal illness, there is strength in numbers.
6.Find the root of your anxiety- Can you trace your anxiety back to the root? If you can there is a good chance that you'll be able eventually undue what was done.
7.Tell people about it- Many people with anxiety, including myself, do not open up easily about their struggle. However, telling people, who are willing to listen, may greatly help the situation.
8.Meditate- Free your mind of thought, sit somewhere comfortable, and just be.
9. Seek professional help- Sometimes it is best to talk with a professional. If you feel like your anxiety is getting in the way of your day to day life, then consider this option.
10.Go for a walk- Taking a walk can be a very therapeutic thing. While out, try not to think to much and just observe your surroundings. You'll notice a calming rhythm to things that you may have never known existed.
