Dry mouth…dilated pupils…rising blood pressure…rapid heartbeat…shallow breathing…tense muscles…these are symptoms of ANXIETY!
Here are some counter measures:
Take a deep breath and exhale out slowly, this will help reduce blood pressure.
Get up from where you are and s-t-r-e-t-c-h, this helps increase the circulation in your body and helps dissipate stress!
VENT – yes, talk to someone (preferably not yourself) and let it go, this helps you clear your mind and regain a better perspective on the issue at hand.
Catch up on your zzzzz’s, this helps replenish your well of energy.
Skip the java, sometimes too much stimulation can bring on a certain level of stress.
Watch funny videos, this helps produce endorphins which in turn elevates your mood. (Be careful, if you laugh too hard you might tie your abs up in knots, which could produce another bout of anxiety.)
Be realistic, your issues might not go away quickly, but you will be on the right road to feeling better!
