We know the holidays can be an extremely stressful time. At this time of year, we are often surrounded by so many anxiety-inducing activities

Living with anxiety is a serious issue for many people. Millions of people who suffer from it are constantly searching for a way to escape it. Learning to control anxiety is a long process that cannot be learned overnight. However, there are myriad ways to cope with and combat anxiety; and many of which are natural.

• Elevate Mood and Exercise

Exercise serves as one of the best ways to combat anxiety. To some, it may initially seem arduous and tiresome, but for so many people suffering from anxiety, it quickly becomes essential. When you are physically active, your body releases endorphins that are responsible for new brain cell growth and stimulation needed to focus. It also helps promotes higher self-esteem.

Studies show that exercise can help enhance people’s moods from mild to moderate, which is also necessary for combating anxiety. Exercise is often considered a healthier alternative than taking medications to treat anxiety because if performed correctly, it has virtually no downside.

• Mindset

Another way help combat anxiety is to nurture the proper mindset by focusing on the right perspective and mindfulness.

Adopting a positive mindset offers a huge array of benefits in your life. It prevents your body from reacting to those negative things happening in your life. It also gives you a chance to live happier and more satisfied with the things that you already have, even the simplest things.

These are just two of the most significant and effective ways to combat anxiety. There are many more approaches that range from changes in eating habits and emotional behaviours to being more selective about your social circle. Improve your awareness of yourself. Take small steps. Pay attention to what makes you anxious and learn how to deal with those situations little by little until you begin to feel in control of your anxiety.

A fabulous book for a quieter mind and a calmer you is “The Anxiety Solution” by Chloe Brotheridge.

I had the privilege of interviewing Chloe on my health and wellness summit. Chloe is a clinical hypnotherapist based in London, England. She has experienced anxiety herself and knows what it feels like to be stuck in a cycle of anxiety, fear, and worry.

“The Anxiety Solution” is your roadmap to a calmer, happier, and more confident you. I highly recommend it.

Chloe also offers a FREE relaxation MP3 that you can download by clicking this link.
