Beat Anxiety With A Couple Simple Exercises

Many people have tried to find out how to beat anxiety naturally because they do not want to be put on medication. Most prescription medications for anxiety can become addictive. If you can beat anxiety naturally with no medications then you owe it to yourself to at least try it. There are several different things you can do to beat this thing.

One technique that can help is to learn how to control your breathing during a panic attack. Anxiety attacks tend to make you breathe too fast. If you can learn how to control your breathing while you are having an anxiety attack you may be able to focus on your breathing enough to help the attack pass.

Another great way to stop anxiety attacks is to exercise and burn away that extra stress. Stress can be the main trigger of anxiety attacks. If you know you are getting stressed out and you can feel an attack of anxiety coming then just go some where alone for a little while until it passes.

If this happens while you are at home just let your family know that you need to be alone and go take a walk. Walk to a park if there is one nearby or just walk around the block and try to clear your head and just relax.

You should also avoid caffeine; so that means you should switch to decaffeinated coffee in the mornings. Some people think they can not get their day started with out a cup of caffeinated coffee. If you are one of these people try taking a shower every morning. Showers wake you up just as well as a cup of coffee does.

If you are a mother and a wife you should schedule regular me time. That means on certain days at a certain time you are off limits to the kids and the husband. This will give you the time you need to regroup and distress. It does not matter what you do with that time as long as you do it alone.
