You need to learn ways to tackle anxiety if you’ve ever been in a situation where you felt like the full weight of the world was weighng on your shoulders. Expert Holistic Health Coach, Bettina Koster, explains that for most people, the occasional bout of anxiety is normal, others experience anxiety on a more regular basis and it can be a mentally trying time.
When handled with care and the right knowledge, anyone can find healthy ways to cope with anxiety.
Here are some ways any health holistic coach would suggest to deal with anxiety positively:
- Prioritise Sleep
Anxiety can cause much deeper problems such as insomnia and sleeplessness. If you want to tackle anxiety, it is important to prioritise sleep and get enough nap time during the day and REM sleep at night.
- Pinpoint the Source
Anxiety symptoms can be triggered by many things, including stress, lack of sleep, or even thinking about something that makes you anxious. Identifying what sets your anxiety off is the first step toward getting rid of it.
For example, if you fight with your partner or sibling every time you turn around and you can not help feeling frustrated, then try to make changes in those situations so that you do not feel so angry or frustrated.
- Follow Relaxation Techniques
Any holistic health coach will tell you that the first step to tackling anxiety is to follow relaxation techniques. Anxiety is like an alarm clock that wakes you up and tells your body that something is wrong.
