2 min readDec 23, 2021
- Exposing Yourself To More Sunshine — Sunshine releases so called “feel-good-hormones” that are responsible for us feeling happy. More sunshine = more happy hormones = less stress.
- Meditate — Meditation is not something elusive anymore; it’s effects have been tested and they have shown that it reduces anxiety and stress to the point where meditative exercises are even used in therapy.
- Making A Definite Plan — Create a battle plan to combat your anxiety. Make a very detailed, laid out plan so you create some security for yourself on how you will fight the anxiety.
- Challenging The Anxiety — Go outside and leave your comfort zone entirely. Talk to strangers, preach to every passersby, or try some other social anxiety challenges. This will make you realize that all you are afraid of is the fear itself (as cliché as that sounds…).
- Seeking A Therapist — There is this huge stereotype that only crazy people go to a therapist, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. If you need help, if you are stressed, or if you are sad about life then why not seek a bit of assistance from someone that can help?
- Doing Something More Today — When you see yourself grow and progress you can use that as a reference when times are bad. Do something more today that will help you out tomorrow.
