Tip #5 - Talk to Someone


Talking to someone you trust about your anxiety can help you to feel less alone. It can also provide you with perspective and support.


Tip #6 - Get Enough Sleep


Sleep is essential for your physical and mental health. Aim to get 7-8 hours of sleep each night to help manage anxiety.


Tip #7 - Practice Relaxation Techniques


Relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga, or progressive muscle relaxation can help you to calm your mind and body.


Tip #8 - Limit Caffeine and Alcohol


Caffeine and alcohol can increase anxiety symptoms. Try to limit your consumption of these substances, or avoid them altogether.
