Journalling

Journaling can be such a great way to deal with anxiety. This is because it offers two important benefits. The first is that by writing down your worries and the problems you are going through you can experience a form of catharsis. This is because you can get all those thoughts out of your head and onto paper, something that helps many people be released from ruminating on them all the time. 

Another great benefit of journaling for dealing with anxiety is that over time you can build up a helpful profile of the things that most trigger you. This can be helpful in providing insight into what you are most worried about, which in turn can help you to put things in place to better deal with these issues. 

Gratitude 

While gratitude and journaling have some overlap, they can also be separate practices. Gratitude is all about celebrating the things you do have right now, and it can be a powerful tool in dealing with anxiety. Although. Like any tool, you will have to use it in the right way. What that means is that you should not use your gratitude practice to push down your anxious feelings or berate yourself for having them despite there being many good things in your life. 

Instead, you should use it to remind yourself that even amid challenging times, there are things to be grateful for. This in itself can help you get some perspective on what you are feeling right now and make anxiety and other negative experiences that little bit easier to deal with.

Supplements

While medication can work wonders for some people, many others prefer to boost their ability to cope with anxiety with supplements instead. Valerian, for example, is a popular supplement used for anxiety, believed to be effective because it works on the GABA receptors in the brain. 

Others choose to use products like CBD for anxiety, which are now widely available due to the changes in the law and production. Indeed, you can find a wealth of options by Googling phrases like best CBD gummies for anxiety online. You can even find them in a variety of flavors, so no matter what you tast,e you’ll find a CBD option to enjoy. 

Meditation 

Meditation is often recommended for anxiety. However, it’s worth noting that achieving a calm state is not the intention for many kinds of meditation, such as mindfulness. Instead, the point of mindfulness is that you learn to separate yourself from your experience, including thoughts, feelings, and sensations. 

In the moment, this will not always be calm, but the benefit comes over time, as we learn that we are not these things and that we can choose where to put our focus and effort. In turn, this can help us lead a more rewarding and happy life, less dominated and controlled by our anxiety. 

Now you.
