I used to wake up daily with anxiety, there never seemed to be a reason for me having this anxiety but everyday I woke up feeling it. I see so many people online posting about their struggles with anxiety so I wanted to share what I did to overcome it and how I manage it anytime it comes up.

1. Journal

This is especially helpful if you are feeling anxious about something but you aren't sure what is causing the anxiety. Writing is linked to the subconscious mind and journaling is a great way to bring light to the issues that are stuck there. As you bring awareness to them it's easy to start reworking them and reframing them to manage your minds fears.

2. EFT

Also called Emotional Freedom Technique or Tapping is a fusion of talk therapy and acupressure. Some studies suggest it is as effective as CBT in fewer sessions. The great thing is, you can use EFT on your own between therapy sessions to combat your anxiety. Click here for a EFT Tapping video from my YouTube Channel

3. Breathwork

When your breath is short, shallow and fast paced, it sends a signal to your Central Nervous System to activate the Flight or Fight Response in your body, aka anxiety. Working with your breath is an excellent way to calm anxiety.

4. Movement

Motion = Emotion, if you do the same things you have always done you will feel the same way that you have always felt. If I told you that next to me was someone who was depressed and I asked you to described what they looked like you would probably say that they are frowning, they're looking down, they have poor posture. If instead I asked you to describe someone who was excited you could probably describe them as smiling, a sparkle in their eyes, sitting tall, etc. If you can't overcome anxiety from a mental stand point (journaling, EFT, etc.) try taking a physical approach.
