control my anxiety

 

I want to control my anxiety without relying on the use of medication. What are some strong ideas?

First of all, you need to remember, that medicine is not the only way to handle your anxiety disorder. There are a lot of natural things you can do that can help you to manage anxiety and feel the control of the situation:

1. Find your kind of sport. It is important to move, instead of sitting at home and watching TV or scrolling through social media. Just choose your favorite way to exercise. It can be yoga, kickboxing, tennis or even a ballet.
2. Omega-3. A study has shown positive results on people who suffer from anxiety disorder. You can take it in supplements or find in such products as salmon, walnuts, and sardines.
3. Breathing. I know, you’ve heard it thousands of times. But it really helps, especially when you have a panic attack. When you concentrate on your breathing, you get a feeling of controlling the situation.
4. Talk to someone. It doesn’t have to be a professional, just find a person you trust and talk about your feelings. Sometimes it is difficult to keep everything inside. Talking about your emotions can help to analyze the situation.
