The best way to relive anxiety is through physical activities , the best activity differs according to person; some may decide to dive into individual physical activities such as jogging (and when they are ready to do so jog with someone) and others chose to dive right into group activities. Either way will help relive the anxiety . Also taking deep breathes and isolating one self from the surroundings for a couple of seconds can really help . You can find more information on the 7cups training guide which is really beneficial to read https://www.7cups.com/anxiety-help/

Yoga! This might be an obvious one but simple yoga can help relieve anxiety, lower blood pressure, improve depression and even help you sleep better. If this doesn't help some people find more blood pumping activities like kick boxing or running to help.

Personally, I find that yoga can be really calming. Sometimes running works better though because it lets you work with that nervous energy and channel it instead of being overwhelmed by it.

Breathing exercises are extremely efficient. Relaxation exercises are very helpful too, like progressive muscle relaxation, where you tense up your muscles and then relax them, one bodypart at a time. Yoga can be helpful too. Actually anything that you like doing, for example taking a walk, cooking, having a cup of tea, anything that relaxes you, can help. Try several things and you'll find out what works best for you.

If you breathe in and out count your breathes and have your eyes closed for about five minutes it really does help!

The classic go to for anxiety is deep breathing, my extra hint would be to focus on the breath while you do it. Bring the focus of your mind to the air that is coming in, feel it fill your lungs, and then as you breath out, imagine that you can see the air leaving your body, and watch it as you breath out

I find this breathing technique helps: breath in slowly for four secs while imagining you are drawing the first line of a square, then hold your breath for four secs imagining drawing second line of square, then breath out for four secs drawing 3rd line of square and relax for four secs drawing final line and repeat. Hope this helps

The Facebook "Seen" message gives me a lot of anxiety! When I see that the person has "seen" the message, but does not reply, I start thinking about all the possible reasons why they would 'ignore' me... Does anyone else feel this? If so, how do you cope?
