Signs of Anxiety and How to Overcome It
Have you gone a few days or even weeks without responding to messages or emails? Are you avoiding calls? Putting off important life tasks as much as possible? Constantly tidying your home and organizing cabinets? Avoiding new social interactions and only connecting with one or a few safe individuals? Unfortunately, I have bad news: you are experiencing anxiety.
There’s no need to explain what anxiety is or how it develops, you probably already know the main cause of your own anxiety. My approach has always been to remove the source, unless that’s not possible in the short term. For example, my current job completely wrecks my mental state, but it can’t be removed. In such cases, the only option is to manage and control anxiety. Here are some strategies:
- Proper breathing: Ensure your respiratory system is functioning correctly. You can practice continuous nasal breathing. If you have no issues, be grateful and try taking a few deep breaths every few hours.
- Proper sleep: Make sure you get at least 8 hours of quality sleep (including sufficient deep sleep) each day.
- Proper nutrition: Avoid processed and ready-made foods. Take a genuine multivitamin (like Good Luck Vit D) and drink several glasses of cool water daily.
- Avoid smoking, alcohol, caffeine, and sugar.
- Spend half an hour daily for yourself. Sit quietly without your phone or distractions and relax.
- Exercise: You don’t need anything extreme, just get dressed, play some music, and walk briskly as far as you can.
- Seek help.
