10 Ways to Manage Anxiety
Firstly, everyone experiences anxiety differently. Additionally, it’s a personal journey that’s unique to who you are and your individual experience. Moreover, you’re not alone in this journey, as increasing numbers of people face similar challenges in their daily lives and relationships.
Understanding How to Manage Anxiety
Initially, anxiety can feel like a protective force. Subsequently, it might seem like it’s keeping you safe. However, what begins as healthy self-checking can gradually grow into something more overwhelming. Furthermore, these feelings can take on different forms and intensities.
Recognising When to Seek Support
Consequently, when anxiety begins affecting your everyday thoughts, feelings and actions, it’s time to explore management strategies. Therefore, here are 10 ways to manage anxiety that you might find helpful:
- Acknowledge Your Experience
- Seek Professional Support
- Identify Triggers
- Establish Boundaries
- Practice Self-Care
- Build Coping Strategies
- Create Daily Routines
- Connect with Others
- Focus on What’s Controllable
- Take Small Steps Forward
Professional Support and 10 Ways to Manage Anxiety
Above all, person-centred counselling offers valuable support. As a result, it helps you distinguish between what’s within your control and what isn’t. Subsequently, this understanding often marks the beginning of managing anxiety effectively.
A Personal Journey
Meanwhile, through my own experience with anxiety, I’ve discovered the power of combining different approaches. In addition, talking therapy, alongside gradual lifestyle changes, helped me understand and manage my high-functioning anxiety. Furthermore, it led to insights about undiagnosed neurodiversity that had been previously misinterpreted as social anxiety.
