7 Strategies to Overcome Anxiety.
Strategy 1: Eliminate caffeine, sugar, and other stimulants--these fuel the fight-or-
flight response.
Strategy 2: Avoid people who reinforce your fear whom I call "emotional vampires"--
they are biological irritants; stick close to positive people.
Strategy 3: Stay away from violent newscasts, arguments, the internet, paying bills or
other stress inducers, especially before sleep.
Strategy 4: Set healthy limits and boundaries. To combat stress, it's important to realize that "No" is a complete sentence, and a healthy way to set limits and
boundaries with stress inducing people and situations.
Strategy 5: Pause when agitated. Make this vow: "I will never have a conversation with someone, send an email, or make a decision when gripped by anxiety." No matter
what the upset is, do not act until you have gained calm and composure.
Strategy 6: Use this Progressive Relaxation Technique. In a comfortable position, sitting or lying down, take a few deep breaths while letting your body go as limp as possible. When you're ready, begin by tightening the muscles in your toes...hold to a count of ten... then relax. Enjoy the relief of tension melting. Do the same with flexing our foot muscles, and move slowly through your entire body: calves, legs, stomach,back, neck, jaw, face, contracting and releasing each area.
Strategy 7: Stay in "The Now." Try not to project negative scenarios about the future.Stay solution-oriented in the present moment and be grateful for what is positive in your life.
Being aware of what triggers your anxiety and mindfully making choices to cope with them provides emotional freedom. Then you won't simply be reacting when your buttons get pushed. You will be better able to take charge of your emotions and your life.
