Anxiety

What is Anxiety? 
  • Excessive (and sometimes irrational) worry, fear, or dread.
  • Hypervigilance: elevated heart rate, excessive sweating, cold hands, diarrhea or those butterflies in your stomach.
  • Can also impact sleep, concentration, sense of enjoyment and wellbeing.
  • Symptoms may persist despite absence or reduction of life pressures.
  • Watch Brene Brown & Oprah discussion on Perfectionism.
  • Watch and learn more about the different types of anxiety here​
What can you do about it?
1. Educate yourself about anxiety. Read more here
​
2. Stop using stimulants-- caffeine and nicotine are stimulants that make your anxiety worse, not better!
3. Track your sleep quality, food intake, and anxiety level. Are there any correlations? Knowing this will be helpful to your doctor.
4. Learn some breathing and relaxation exercises-- slowing down your breath is the single best thing you can do to slow down your body's physiological response to anxiety.
5. Notice your thoughts-- which thoughts make your anxiety better or worse?
  • Try practical execrises using worksheets like these
