Steemit Engagement Challenge S18 W1 : I survive out of pure anxiety

I am no stranger to anxiety. It can sneak up on me in the most unexpected moments, like when I'm about to give a big presentation or when I can not find my phone and imagine the worst. Sometimes, just the thought of social gatherings makes my heart race.

Anxiety also strikes when I am stuck in traffic & running late, or even when I have to choose what to watch on Netflix.

These everyday situations can turn into a whirlwind of nerves. How about you? What gets your anxiety gears turning?

When anxiety hits, I hve got a few tricks up my sleeve. Deep breaths are my go-to move, like hitting the reset button on my brain. Sometimes, I just close my eyes and imagine I am on a beach, even if I'm actually stuck in traffic.

I also turn to my trusty playlist of feel-good songs. There’s something about belting out an 80s power ballad that makes anxiety take a back seat. And let’s not forget the power of a good laugh – a funny cat video can work wonders.

Exercise is another lifesaver. Whether it’s a quick jog or a dance-off in my living room, moving around helps shake off the jitters. How do you tackle your anxious moments?

To dodge anxiety, try setting up a solid routine. It’s like giving your day a cozy blanket of predictability. Wake up at the same time, have a morning ritual, and stick to it. You’ll be amazed at how much this helps.

Another tip is to get moving. Exercise isn’t just good for your body; it’s like a spa day for your mind. A little sweat can wash away a lot of worries. Plus, who doesn’t feel better after a spontaneous dance party?

And don’t underestimate the power of “me time.” Find activities that relax you, whether it’s reading, gardening, or binge-watching your favorite series. Keeping stress at bay is all about balance and knowing when to take a break.

And the last but not least tip.....,,

To stay connected with friends and family. "A problem shared is a problem halved."

Talking to someone you trust can provide relief and a new perspective. Laughter and support from loved ones can be powerful antidotes to anxiety.
