What are alternative ways besides medication to deal with the physical symptoms of anxiety?

Mindfullness practises! Colouring, meditation, yoga are all example of ways to help reduce symptoms of anxiety without the use of medication.

You can listen to music that calms you and you need to try and control your breathing. Maybe take a long warm bath because I have noticed they calm me down

Record the cause and feeling of anxiety.. Review it.. Replace it with alternative thought .. What ever the cause is try to overcome it by tackling it.. Try meditation. Relaxation techniques. :)

Breathing excersises can help. What I do is I bring in for 4 seconds, hold for 7 seconds then breath out for 8 and repeat until I calm down.

Meditation helps with a lot of people however not with everyone. This can help with your breathing during a panic attack and calming yourself down naturally :)

Anxiety can be tricky. I find therapy whether it is group or individual can be very beneficial, on top of therapy I find keeping a planner helps me to feel on top of my day to life and less nervous about the days to come. For me I journal for an hour at a time. Whether I'm writing short stories or poems or simply expressing my thoughts

Positive thinking, writing a journal about all of your thoughts, emotions, anxiety moments, why you feel anxious, your overthinking, venting. Listen to music, practice breathing in and out, try to analyze what triggers you, assess why you feel anxious and figure out ways to help yourself feel better. Find scents and colors you love and have them with you or around your house, your car. When you have an anxiety attack, find various things you can see, smell, touch, hear to ground yourself. Talk to people about your anxiety.

Distract yourself with hobbies or something that takes your attention away from it. Do relaxation exercises (count to ten, breath in, count backwards from ten, breathe out). Think happy thoughts.

Personally the I have found that pets are the most helpful in dealing with anxiety. When I am feeling really anxious I cuddle with my cat, she is my official emotional support animal, and she lowers my heart rate more then anything else!

I have found that medication doesn't work for me or is too expensive to obtain. I prefer to listen to music that I like (classical or hard rock, whatever you feel comforts you), perhaps try meditating if you can focus, and watching feel good movies.
