How To Relax Your Body and Mind From Anxiety

SHARE

Having anxiety is a normal part of life that can be brought on by stress or worrying, but it can be manageable. Over time, people have discovered many tips on improving stress and worrying.

This blog is solely based on learning how to relax your mind and body from anxiety. This should not be taken as medical advice. If you believe you deal with an abnormal amount of anxiety, you should contact a physician or counselor to get the help you need.

Meditation

Meditation has been practiced worldwide and continues to help people relieve stress, anxiety, and worry from their lives. You can find meditation classes online or in your app store. If you are new to meditating, start with a short session of ten minutes. If this seems too short, adjust the duration as needed. To make the most of your meditation experience, you can incorporate lepidolite stones in your space.  It is said that the lepidolite healing properties will act as a mood stabilizer which is ideal for bipolar tendencies and anxiety.

Exercise

Exercising can improve your mood, relieve stress, and may help you sleep better at night. If you aren’t used to exercising but are looking for ways to reduce stress, start by going for a 20-minute walk each day. You may find physical activity to be the outlet you have been missing in your life.

Limit Caffeine

You should limit your caffeine. As tiring as life can be, you should not drink more than four cups of coffee per day or 400 milligrams of caffeine. Caffeine can cause jittery effects and can stimulate your “fight or flight” response, which can potentially trigger anxiety. Overall, if you are having a stressful day, it may be best to take a day off from caffeine.

Cannabinoids

Since the 2018 Farm bill was passed, cannabinoids have become accessible, as most states have legalized hemp. Some popular hemp-derived cannabinoids that have been reported to encourage a calming effect are Delta 8 oil and CBD. Although we cannot guarantee you will have the same experience, it may be worth looking into.

Count To Ten and Breathe

Anxiety can come out of nowhere, which can throw you off guard. When you feel anxiety creeping up and don’t have anywhere to retreat to, the best thing you can do is count to ten and take slow controlled breaths. This will encourage your body to remain calm and prevent your mind from entering a negative state.

Once you have your breathing mastered, you will be able to calm your mind and body from almost any situation.

A Hot Bath

Give yourself some love and have a relaxing evening to unwind with light music, candles, and a nice hot bath. Sometimes, life can be hectic, and we forget how glorious it can feel to submerge ourselves in warm water. But hot baths do much more than alleviate anxiety—they can also relax the muscles, lower stress and have been known to aid in digestive problems.

In Conclusion

By no means should this information be taken as medical advice. These are just suggestions that may help common anxiety and stress. If you feel that your anxiety is uncontrollable, reach out to your physician or a mental health specialist.
