Quick ways to relieve anxiety and anxiety-related symptoms
Related: Anxiety Reduction Tips
If you ask anyone who really knows me to describe me, they'd say I only really have two speeds - full on or totally still.
I go non-stop unless I'm meditating or in the healing room and then I am so deeply still that I feel invisible.
So, going full speed as much as I do, I don't always notice when my natural way of being has become an anxious or stressful way of being.
That being said, if these tips work for me, they probably will work for someone else because anything that takes the edge off anxiety for me is really doing something, ha!
ANXIETY REDUCTION TIPS:
One of the most common anxiety-related symptoms I get is restless sleep. Two things I've tried really help:
1. I place a tiny amount of table salt under my tongue and let it dissolve.
I forget where I heard about this but something in the salt sometimes helps the body release and relax. It works for me a lot of the time.
2. I take Hyland's Homeopathic for restless leg syndrome. I don't always get restless leg as an anxiety-related symptom but even if I don't have that symptom, the quinine homeopathic helps me go to sleep.
For anxiety-related symptoms that appear in the daytime, I have had good results with these tips:
1. Take a brisk walk.
2. Deepen breathing and, focus intent on releasing anxiety with each out-breath.
3. Find something funny to watch -- a good comedy.
4. Dance it out -- pretty much what Yang and Meridith do on Gray's Anatomy, and it is more powerful with a friend.
5. Primal screaming -- I used to live on 180 acres so I could just go outside and let it rip. Now, I would park somewhere isolated, with windows rolled up, and yell it out.
