Exercise and meditation have both been shown, when practiced regularly, to have a large impact on the physical symptoms of anxiety. In the moment it is occurring however, I have found that a brief mindfulness exercise focused on deep breathing and muscle relaxation can help to ground me.

Taking deep breaths and finding something to ground you. Look directly ahead or focus on something specific.

In my opinion the alternative ways to deal with anxiety is thru meditation, prayers and trust. Everything had a purpose why it happen and trust to God whatever it is.

My first answer is mindfulness. Noticing how your body feels without trying to change it. Notice the clenched fists, the tight chest, the heart racing, etc., and stay with that for a few minutes— often times just paying attention without judging or forcing them away will relieve or reduce the symptoms.

The 54321 method is my personal favourite! Identifying: 5 things you can see, 4 things you can feel, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. It helps to bring me back down from anxious thoughts (:

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?
