- Details
- Written by Regina Thomas
Stress and anxiety are common in the busy world we live in. Certain anxiety levels can be positive since they will help you be aware of potential dangers and keep you prepared. However, anxiety levels become unmanageable and create some disorders. Here are some natural ways to help manage your anxiety. However, please note that these tips are meant to be used alongside your doctor's recommended form of treatment. You should always consult your doctor.
Physical Activity
Physical activity and exercise are not only helpful in keeping fit. It also has some positive effects on your mental and overall health. Exercise can help divert your attention from something that is making you anxious. In addition, physical activity boost endorphins which boost pleasure and help you have a positive outlook. There are various physical activities you can indulge in, such as hiking, running, jogging, weight lifting, and yoga. The choice of the most appropriate exercise is entirely tied to your preference.
Meditation
Meditation is described as the act of practicing mindfulness. You can focus on calming the racing thoughts and replacing the negative thoughts with positive ones through meditation. Meditation has some emotional benefits to help you manage your anxiety. These benefits include improving patience and tolerance, increasing imagination, and focusing on the present. There are various types of meditation, some that require guidance and others that you can practice on your own. Some of the ways you can practice meditation include breathing deeply, engaging in prayer, chanting a mantra, and reading and reflecting.
CBD Oil and Hemp Seeds
CBD oil is derived from extracting CBD from the hemp plant and mixing it with hemp seed oil. CBD oil interacts with receptors in your nervous system to give you a calming effect. In addition, hemp seeds have high magnesium, amino acids, and vitamin B, making them a natural way to deal with anxiety. Magnesium helps in reducing the levels of anxiety and stress. Amino acids help keep the body strong by building up the body’s protein, whereas Vitamin B helps regulate stress and anxiety hormones. You can get hemp seeds for growing in areas where the growth of the hemp plant is legal. You can extract these oils from this plant to help you manage your anxiety and get some more health benefits. However, before self-medicating with these oils, it is essential to seek the advice of a health care professional.
Get a Good Night Rest
Sleep is an integral part of good mental health. It helps remove toxins from the brain that build up during your wake hours. Despite sleep being one of the natural remedies to anxiety, anxiety is one of the common reasons why people toss and turn in their bed at night. However, there are some ways through which you can help alleviate the problem. Some of these ways include:
- Not using your gadgets in bed.
- Not tossing and turning in bed.
- Creating a good sleeping environment and going to sleep same time each night.
- Weighted blankets can also be beneficial in relieving anxiety. They apply pressure on your body that helps put your body in rest mode.
Avoid Alcohol And Cigarettes
You will be tempted to run to alcohol to reduce your anxiety. However, alcohol will help calm your nerves temporarily, after which your anxiety may worsen. It affects the levels of serotonin and other neurotransmitters from which you may feel more anxious after the alcohol leaves your body. From this, you can develop alcohol dependence behavior. On the other hand, people smoke to ease their feelings of anxiety. Nicotine has an instant relaxation effect that is often mistaken for reducing stress and anxiety. The feeling is temporary, after which withdrawal symptoms and increased cravings kick in.
Time With Pets
Petting and playing with animals can effectively reduce anxiety levels—the effects of pets and mental health cuts across all ages. Playing with a pet can raise the levels of serotonin and dopamine, the essential hormones that help keep stress and anxiety in check. Stroking a pet has a sensory effect that helps lower blood pressure and relieve anxiety. In addition, a pet will help you with your physical activities when you take it out for walks, hikes, and hikes.
Conclusion
Anxiety that is not taken care of can worsen and cause more stress. With these tips, it is possible to manage your anxiety and live a better life. However, it does not end here. Seeking the help of a medical professional is essential.
