5 WAYS TO FIGHT ANXIETY
Fighting anxiety is entirely reasonable and even normal. Who wants to experience anxiety or the feeling of being on edge, exhausted, and quivering with fear? Since anxiety is so excruciatingly terrible, we want to do whatever it takes to put a stop to it. And yes, that’s its job: to Make. It. Stop.
You can experiment with a variety of anxiety management techniques. Finding the methods that are most effective for you can take some time because everyone's experiences are different. Here are 5 strategies to help you:
Slow Breathing
When you're stressed, your breathing gets shallower and faster. Try gradually reducing your breathing rate. Slowly inhale for three counts, and then slowly exhale for three counts.
Progressive Muscle Relaxation
Find a peaceful area. Your muscles from your toes to your head should be steadily tensed and then relaxed as you close your eyes. Three seconds of tension holding is followed by a swift release. This can ease the tension in the muscles that frequently accompanies worry.
Remain Mindful of the Present

Be Kind to Yourself
Bear in mind that your anxiety is not who you are. You're not a coward. You are not weak. All of us are equal. You have a mental health condition. It’s called anxiety.
A Healthy Lifestyle
Exercise, a healthy diet, spending time in nature, spending time with loved ones, managing stress, and engaging in things you enjoy can all help you feel better and reduce anxiety.
