Hi There Friends,
Anxiety is a word that I have heard a lot about lately. Living in today's society I believe it's hard to not encounter some form of anxiety. This society teaches you to always focus on productivity and move a million miles per hour. Majority of people are living on auto pilot, so much so that they don't have the luxury of processing their emotions which then transform into something much more. I myself, am not immune to negative emotions. I also have moment when I deal with anxiety and have to find ways to cope.
This post is dedicated to raise awareness to the various mechanisms that can be used to manage our anxiety levels.
1. Go Outside- The sun, fresh air can reduce the stress hormone (cortisol) and promote Serotonin (happiness hormone).
2. Diaphragmatic Breathing- This is also known as deep belly breathing. Increasing the oxygen to your brain assists in your mind communicating with your body to express there is no threat present which allows you to calm down.
3. Meditation- Allows you to focus your mind and energy on one specific subject which is successful in talking you out of your current state and promoting relaxation and peace.
4. Physical Activity- When your move your body, you release hormones called endorphins which promotes the happiness feeling.
5. Shaking- Helps to calms the nervous system and get the negative energy out. It helps to ground you and bring you back to center.
6. Affirmations- A powerful affirmation to say is " I am okay in this moment" This affirmation works instantly for me when my anxiety is at its peak. It calms me down instantly.
I hope this post is helpful, I know how important mental health is. I hope you can have great inner peace. Feel free to share this with anyone you believe it will be helpful to. Peace be with you friends! <3
