What To Do When You’Re Feeling Anxious

Introduction

You’re feeling anxious, and there’s no one around to help you. What do you do? You might be tempted to grab the nearest bottle of Xanax from the medicine cabinet, but there are plenty of things you can do when feeling anxious that don’t require medication or therapy. Let’s take a look at some ideas for how to make yourself feel better when anxiety strikes:

Take a walk.

If you’re feeling anxious, take a walk. It’s something that can help you relax, reduce stress and get some fresh air all at once. And when it comes to clearing your head, walking is one of the best things in the world for that!

Walking has been shown to lower blood pressure and improve moods as well–all great things when dealing with anxiety issues.

Go outside.

If you’re feeling anxious, there’s something about being outside that will help. Go for a walk or bike ride, go to the park and play with your dog (or someone else’s), or go to the beach and relax in the sun. If you want something more adventurous than that, take a hike! Going outside is good for us all–but especially if we have anxiety issues

Meditate.

Meditation is an excellent way to help you manage anxiety and stress. It has been shown to reduce feelings of nervousness, worry, and tension.

It also helps you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings. By doing this it may be easier for you to let go of negative ones or let them pass without getting stuck in them.

You can start meditating by doing something simple like focusing on your breathing for five minutes each day until it becomes part of your daily routine – then build up from there!

Do some research on your condition and find out how to manage it, if possible.

If you’ve been diagnosed with a mental health condition, it’s important to do some research on your condition and find out how to manage it, if possible. For example, if you have anxiety disorder or depression, look up information about what those conditions mean and how they can be treated. If there are treatments available that don’t involve medication (for example, cognitive behavioral therapy), find out more about them by reading books or articles online.

If your doctor has prescribed medication for your condition and told you that it will help ease symptoms such as anxiety or depression during times when they flare up–that’s great! Make sure not to go off the medication without talking with him/her first though; they know best what works best for each patient based on his/her medical history. Also keep in mind that there are side effects associated with most medications so make sure not only do we understand what these side effects might be but also know when we need additional support outside of taking pills every day just because our body is telling us something different than what others believe should happen instead.”

Take the time to focus on your breathing, and think about something that makes you happy.

If you’re feeling anxious, take a few moments to focus on your breathing and the feeling of your body relaxing. Breathe in deeply, hold for a few seconds, then breathe out slowly. If that doesn’t help, try thinking about something that makes you happy–a memory from childhood may work best for some people!

Get up from your desk and take a walk around the building or take a seat at a different table in the lunchroom to change your surroundings for a few minutes.

If you’re at work and feeling anxious, get up from your desk and take a walk around the building or take a seat at a different table in the lunchroom to change your surroundings for a few minutes.

If you’re at home, try walking around the block or out into the neighborhood if it’s safe to do so.

You could also go for a longer walk: there are many parks that offer paved paths where people can walk their dogs or just enjoy nature on their own terms. You can even find trails through forests where no cars are allowed! If it’s raining outside (or snowing), this might be an ideal time to spend some time outdoors–the fresh air will help clear away any stressors weighing down on your mind while allowing yourself time away from electronics that could potentially cause further anxiety by giving too much access into other people’s lives online via social media sites like Facebook or Twitter (which may not always be helpful).

If none of those options sound appealing enough then perhaps consider taking advantage of another resource available within driving distance: friends who live nearby! Why not invite them over? Or better yet… invite some friends over who live further away so they’ll need transportation there anyway! This way everyone gets together without having any plan ahead except showing up ready-to-go with whatever snacks/drinks they want brought along too 🙂

If you’re feeling stressed out or anxious about something specific, try avoiding that thing for 24 hours or so to see if it goes away, then try dealing with it again after that time period has passed.

If you’re feeling stressed out or anxious about something specific, try avoiding that thing for 24 hours or so to see if it goes away, then try dealing with it again after that time period has passed. For example:

• If your boss is always asking you to come in early and stay late, try not going into work at all for one day. Then go back to work as usual the next day and see how things feel when everyone else is there (and before they’ve started asking you questions).
• If someone keeps bothering you on social media because they want something from you but won’t say what exactly it is (“I just need advice”/”Can I borrow $10?”), unfollow them or block their account from view on your phone/computer until whatever problem has been resolved.

There are plenty of things you can do when you feel anxious, but not all of them require medication or therapy.

Meditation, exercise and other lifestyle changes can also help. If you’re feeling anxious about something specific, try avoiding that thing for 24 hours or so to see if it goes away on its own.

Conclusion
