Four great ways to alleviate anxiety and calm your nerves:
1. If you have any anxiety issues, don’t use an anxiety building drug, namely caffeine.
2. Sugar and alcohol may make you feel good, but it’s a temporary spike that brings about a crash. These two are especially good to avoid in the late afternoon or evening due to their possible interference with sleep. Caffeine makes this a threesome to avoid.
3. Supplements that may help are Valerian (500 mg) which can also help with mild pain relief. Chamomile has mild sedative properties that can even be used by children. The tea form seems to be the most effective. Melatonin is a natural hormone that can help you sleep (1 to 3 mg).
4. Don’t forget the basics: walking or any kind of exercise; dancing can be a fun way to stay fit and help displace anxiety. Meditation and deep breathing are very powerful in keeping the mind relaxed and clear. Remember, 99% of anxiety comes from or is fueled by fear-full thinking.
