We all get a little anxious sometimes; it helps us achieve a needed sense of urgency that we need in order to complete tasks. However, sometimes these feelings can get too overwhelming and we can’t handle them. Here are some simple tips on how to get rid of anxiety through small but significant steps.

Constant stress and anxiety can get in the way of everyday activities, it can influence your mood, your diet, your body and your mind. Drugs are usually prescribed to suppress these disorders, but they have many side effects and as time goes on they require a higher dose to create the same effect they once had. If possible, we should avoid these chemical supplements and look for a more natural approach on how to get rid of stress and anxiety. Here are five helpful ways you can try to do so:

1. Exercise

Physical exercise can help you improve your emotions in the long run. It improves mood, sleeping patterns and overall self-esteem! Even a short walk each day can help you get rid of the stress and anxiety.

2. Meditation for Stress and Anxiety

Many studies have shown that meditation helps you dealing with negative emotions when practiced on a daily basis. On my blog you can find several articles that describe how to start and the types of meditation if you have never tried before.

3. Coffee Detox

Although coffee does have its benefits on our mind by making it more active and responsive, long term consumption can make you develop symptoms of stress and anxiety. It can trigger insomnia; you may want to try reducing your daily intake and try a coffee detox if you believe you are drinking too much of it.

4. Express Your Feelings

Try understanding where there feelings of uneasiness originate from. Be aware to what pressures you; could it be a stable job, or financial security? Know where your anxiety originates, and you will learn how to fight it.

5. Limit Social Media

Social media have been proven to raise people’s levels of stress and anxiety. We compare each others to our friends and to the success they post on their Facebook pages or Twitter accounts, and we become depressed because we envy them. Try to avoid comparing yourself to others through these outlets, as they are only giving a perfect idealistic view of a small part of their lives, which has little to do with reality.

Try to get rid of stress and anxiety by following these simple techniques, and let me know if they work out for you!

Namaste.
