Overcoming anxiety is difficult for many people.
When an individual is constantly stressed by everyday things and always worried, they become depressed, adding to the problem.
Although medication can help, it is not a cure.
What can you do? Learn to control you're negative thoughts.
Try relaxation or meditation at the start and end of your day, setting the stage for more positive thinking.
At work, repeat the process during lunch and any time you take a break.
During days at home, take regular breaks for relaxation or meditation.
Set small goals for yourself, goals you know you can accomplish.
Recognize each accomplishment when you reach one, and take pride in the fact that you did what you set out to do.
Start exercising daily to releases endorphins, the "feel good" hormone in the body that also helps ease stress; another daily goal you can be proud to reach.
Eat more fresh fish and green leafy vegetables.
The omega 3 from fish and the Vitamin B from vegetables are natural substances that have the most calming effect on the body.
Consider therapy if you still truly just can't cope.
A therapist can help you see things more objectively and help you understand that things are not as bad as they may seem.
Keep in mind that this only works if are truly honest with yourself and the therapist.
It all sounds easy, doesn't it? It is, and given time, it will work.
Have patience with yourself.
You didn't start life thinking negatively, you learned to do that.
These steps will help you learn to think more positively.
It takes time, but you are worth it!
