Anxiety is often a long-term issue. To keep anxiety from coming back, you need to learn to control your overall anxiety symptoms, and that’s not something that happens overnight. There is no magic pill for curing anxiety forever, nor is there a therapy that is 100% effective after one session. Everyone has frightening or anxious moments. This particular feeling can be detrimental to you because it may stop you from living a normal life.
Here are some tips to deal effectively with this uncomfortable emotion :
- Music – Put on calming music to change our emotions. Music & singing reduces overwhelm quickly and makes everything feel better.
- Go Outside – Eat outside, sit on a balcony, or sit in a local park, & just breathe in the fresh air.
- Breathe – Focus attention on inhaling & exhaling. Do it standing, sitting or lying down. Each time we breathe, we come back to the present moment.
- Good Food – Healthy food can lower inflammation in our body & less sugar can reduce feelings of anxiety, agitation & feeling edgy.
- Laugh – Laughter really is the best medicine. It’s contagious, can reduce stress levels dramatically, so provides quick relief if overwhelmed.
- Journalling – Writing down or drawing our thoughts & worries can make them feel less concerning to us. It can help us make a plan to change things.
- Positive Exposure – Watching inspirational & motivational movies or documentation can help us to see the positive things in life, & make us feel more grateful for what we have.
- Move – Just moving our body can relieve feelings of overwhelm. Chucking on some tunes can do wonders for the body, brain & our overall well being.

These are excellent tips. Thank you!

Anxiety is a beast, but it is possible to win the battle without medication. Sometimes, overcoming worry and nervousness is simply a matter of modifying your behavior, thoughts, and lifestyle. You can start with a drug-free approach, and then speak with a doctor if your symptoms don’t improve or worsen. Glad you liked the post. Thank you for stopping by

I am glad you liked these tips Jaymie. Having dealt with anxiety myself I know where you are coming from.
Anxiety is an emotion characterized by feelings of tension, worried thoughts and physical changes like increased blood pressure. People with anxiety disorders usually have recurring intrusive thoughts or concerns. They may avoid certain situations out of worry.

I too suffer and thanks for your guidance to helping to manage this difficult condition. I have had many years of therapy, mainly CBT which I dint get along with. I find it deals with the mind and I don’t think I am my mind, I’m something else.
My thoughts are with you. A blogger beginner.

With a rich, woody, earthy scent, sandalwood has an ancient history of use for relaxation and anxiety relief. Scientific research indicates sandalwood can be effective in easing anxiety symptoms. Research has also shown sandalwood can have sedative effects, reducing wakefulness and increasing amounts of non-REM sleep.

Anxiety is a problem when it becomes overwhelming or unmanageable and it comes up unexpectedly. Anxiety disorders are mental illnesses that have a big impact your life. People may avoid going about their daily lives in order to avoid anxiety. They may experience a lot of uncomfortable physical sensations and physical health problems. Many people say that they know their anxiety isn’t based in reality, but they feel ‘trapped’ by their thought and feelings. Anxiety disorders can be treated. It’s important to seek help if you’re concerned about anxiety in your life.

Great post here Friend. All the things you list are beautiful indeed. As far as anxiety goes, I think there is the general anxiety that everyone has from time to time, and there are anxiety disorders. All human of course, these things happen. In addition to the wonderful things that you have included, I would also say, seeking peace with a relationship with God. God really does care for us, and it feels good to know that the maker of the entire universe, the King of kings and the most powerful being on earth loves us, and very deeply too. God listens when you speak, he knows your name and your story, and when you are ready to reach out to him, he is ready to reach out to you. Pray and be in a positive space with God, the God who heals, who comforts, who soothes is still on the throne. God would empower your doctors etc with the knowledge that they need to help you. God is able.
God says in Isaiah 41:10
So do not fear, for I am with you;
do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
God says in Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future”.
The Bible says in Philippians 4:6
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God”.
To anyone interested, If you want more information on how to connect with God, I have a post on it here:

Glad you liked the post. Many people are not able to identify anxiety. Abnormal anxiety will be intense for a longer duration. It may cause you to have panic attacks, and you may experience other physical symptoms such as dizziness, racing heart, trembling, and nausea. Anxiety disorder also causes anxiety that is not tied to a specific event or situation.
