Anxiety is an issue effecting 18% of all Americans.
Anxiety disturbs your life, puts you in a state of fear and totally complicates your normal day to day activities.
Some people with worsened anxiety should seek professional help.
However, there are practical things that can be done to combat this whether you have it bad or mildly.
Here are my anxiety tips: Anxiety tips #1 - Being Prepared Anxiety often occurs when you are not prepared for the stress you may encounter.
If you are planning on meeting friends, going to the dentist, going shopping or going somewhere with a large amount of people, be prepared for stress and any emotions that you might experience at the time.
You could argue that people without anxiety are always prepared, but the truth is people with anxiety must take extra steps to feel calm.
Anxiety tips #2 - Attitude alteration Start to think positively.
If you genuinely believe you will overcome your anxiety and you mentally force yourself to be prepared to change then the chances are you probably will! Similarly, if you prepare yourself to fail then you will be in a perfect position to give up and let anxiety take over your life.
Anxiety tips #3 - Relaxation Although the first two examples are good, they only apply to the practical situation.
This tip is something for home.
When you have a spare moment take a minute to calm yourself.
Start to practice a metal state you can apply to your everyday life when you feel a attack impending.
