10 Ways to Lower Anxiety

  1. Set boundaries on your worries

    Worry is a natural part of life, but it can be your whole life if it is allowed. It helps to pick a place and time to do your worrying. Spend 30 minutes thinking about your concerns and mostly about what you can do about them. Then let go of the worry and work towards your solution. Also balance your worry with hobbies and fun activities.

  2. Relaxation techniques

    These may include muscle relaxation, yoga, or deep breathing. Muscle relaxation is simple. Start from your feet or your head and work your way though the body. Start by choosing a specific muscle and holding it tight for a few seconds. Then relax the muscle. Repeat this pattern.
