My Secret To Fight Anxiety

1. Ask yourself these questions.

          Are you Hungry?

          Are you Angry?

          Are you Lonely? 

          Are you Tired? 

HALT This is an acronym. 

You feel anxious most of the time when you have not eaten anything.

Try eating something healthy. Crappy food won't help that much.

You may feel anxious when you are pissed off at something. Your heart races how can she say this to me? Who does she think she is? 

Loneliness also drives you anxious. Meaningful human relationships are thus really important. Make sure you have your support system when you are anxious.

Tiredness is another factor that may make you feel anxious.  

After a long day at work or school, or after that nagging from the boss surely drives anyone crazy. 

For this, I recommend you to have a ‘me time’. Relax. Do anything that's gonna slow you down.  If you don't distract yourself you are going to overthink and worry. Try to do something that will make you feel good

2. The way you feel is like clouds passing in the sky. They too shall pass. Everything will pass. When you are anxious, you need to change your state. And How to change the state? It's very very easy.  According to research in Japan, it was found that to change a state it takes only Six Deep Breathes. Six deep breaths can change somebody's state from anxiety to peace. Also, check-in your posture.

Inhale deeply for four seconds hold for seven seconds and exhale out deeply at eight. 

3. Anxiety comes from your thoughts. Feelings come from thoughts. We are in charge of our feelings and thoughts. Anxiety and excitement are both aroused emotions. So you can trick your brain in actually thinking you are excited when you are anxious. Here how you do it. 

Become self-aware when you are anxious. Then close your eyes and put your hand on your chest and breathe. Then say to yourself I'm excited as many times as possible. Then ask yourself what I'm excited about? Well, I can be excited about going to the gym later. Also, you can be grateful for something. It requires extreme self-awareness.

4. Well, right now most people get anxious when they can't control any situation. You get each morning you watch the news -somebody died or anything bad. This makes you feel anxious as you are not able to control it. 

You need to focus on what you can control. Can you control all the things you are feeling anxious about?  No. Well, it's ok. Then what can you control?  You can control yourself. You can control your thoughts and breathing. You can control what you are doing at this moment. So then what makes you happy? 

The thing is all you can control is yourself. You can only change yourself.

5. Ask yourself “ Am I okay at this moment?”. Well, I know you are worried about your future or that you got to pay your bills .no big deal. But are you ok at this moment?. 

Because anxiety comes from things that are possibly going to happen in the future. When emotion is high, logic is low. 

When you are in a better state your logic will be higher.

In research, it was found that eighty-five percent of what people worry about doesn't even happen and fifteen percent of things that did happen were easier to handle than they actually thought they would be.
