How to Calm Anxiety

September 3, 2020 5 Comments

Here are a few tip on How to Calm Anxiety. Whether you are worried about work, an upcoming event, relationships…whatever your worry…anxiety is a brutal beast. Anxiety can cause insomnia, digestive trouble, mood changes (hello irritability!) and more. Let’s chill the best. Here are a few ways on How to Calm Anxiety…

When you feel worried, ways to calm anxiety, via www.parentclub.ca

How to Calm Anxiety

  • Do something interesting this distracts the mind. Read the newspaper, a magazine, or a book.
  • Write it down. Make a list. Check things off. Brainstorm. Outline. Get it out of your head and down on paper.
  • Listen to music. Have it pump you up or chill you down (I’m more of a chill me down type myself)
  • Do something creative or active. Tennis. Yoga. Walk. Activate your body to deactivate your mind.
  • Watch a show or movie. Again…distract your mind.
  • Go outside. It’s a wonder what a change in environment and air will do to calm anxiety.
  • Have a shower or bath. Wash the stress off.
  • Do something productive. Again this goes back to crossing things off your list. So start laundry if you are worrying about packing for a trip.
  • Reach out to someone. Share your anxiety. Talk, text, dm.

Overthinking and fretting on a problem can cause anxiety. Try to take a step back and see what action-items you can do to find a solution. Do you need a checklist to ensure you don’t miss something on a project? Make a pros and cons list to help with decision-making? Hire a babysitter so you can 100% concentrate on a deadline?

Try to problem solve your problem so you don’t overthink it. Tackle it in blocks. Or talk to someone (because having a 2nd opinion can provide new perspective).

I am a life-long overthinker. And I’m anxious too. They are certainly connected. I hope these tips help the other overthinkers and anxious people out there.

What do you do to deal with stress?…

    Good tips. I have high anxiety and am an overthinker too. Sometimes you do just need medication to help though. I have Ativan to take when it just gets to be too much. Also I try deep breathing and the outdoors helps.

Gentle nudge...read my books πŸ™‚ Available at pu Gentle nudge...read my books πŸ™‚

Available at public libraries and bookstores.

STOP READING THIS BOOK is a fun picture book where the book challenges the reader to stop reading. Along the way, the reader meets elements of books like hero's, villans and challenges to overcome.

THE ADVENTURES OF GRANDMASAURUS is about a Grandma who magically transforms into different dinosaurs. Lots of dino facts, non-binary characters, and inter-generational endearment.

Support small biz, like ours, when you can because small shops need your business more than big box stores.

Group all the fidget spinners, @myboogieboard, @roryscube, rubic's cubes, and fidget toys in a bin beside the computer for  mental mini-breaks (and kids who have trouble sitting still).

My son needs to move...I'm hoping this will help.
