Got Anxiety?

• Unfortunately, anxiety is so common these days. There could be multiple factors, from poor sleep habits to excessive social media usage. For you, it might be different reasons. So, ask yourself what is it , why, and if your anxiety is doing any good? I am sure not. Getting worked up or being anxious isn’t worth it.

• Write down your thoughts and understand your triggers. Maybe your job or your relationship triggers your anxiety. Perhaps it’s your past experiences. Whatever it is - it’s okay - take a deep breath, get good meals, sleep well and maybe see a therapist if needed. Caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine might not be as helpful as you think. Understand the difference between your stress and anxiety. Your stress might be short-term, while the anxiety might linger on for a long time.

• The first thing is to analyze the source of your anxiety. What is it? The reason is probably something outside of your control. So, ask yourself if you are in control of your situation? Can you even be in control? Is it even possible? Is it raining outside and you want to change that? Is there too much traffic to work? Are you worried about the past? Or your future? There’s no need to sacrifice your peace of mind over things you can’t control.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
