5 WAYS TO MANAGE ANXIETY

Anxiety is a normal emotion. It is your brain’s way of reacting to stress and alerting you of potential danger ahead. However, when a person regularly feels unbalanced levels of anxiety, it might become a mental disorder. These disorders alter how a person processes emotion and behaves, causing physical symptoms.

Here are some obvious signs you might be oblivious of;

• Feeling of restlessness
• Dizziness
• Heart palpitations
• Shortness of breath
• Nausea
• Panic, fear, and uneasiness
• Sleep problems

How can anxiety be managed?

1. Move your body (exercise).
2. Pay more attention to sleep.
3. Take charge of your thoughts.
4. Locate your stressors and deal with them.
5. Say no to negative vibes/ guard your space.

Life is 10 percent what you experience and 90 percent how you respond to it. You don’t have to control your thoughts. You just must stop letting them control you. Don’t let your mind bully your body into believing it must carry the burden of its worries.

No amount of anxiety can change the future. No amount of regret can change the past. Anxiety is a thin stream of fear trickling through the mind. If encouraged, it cuts a channel into which all other thoughts are drained.
