Anxiety
Management tips
1. Identify the regular stressors in your life
Each time you feel stressed, keep track of it in your journal. As you keep a daily log, you will begin to see patterns and common themes.
2. Practice "the 4 A's" of stress management
Over-committing yourself can attribute to feeling anxious. Prioritize tasks, break projects down into smaller steps, and delegate responsibility!
3. Evaluate your physical health
When our physical health is compromised, it's not uncommon for our mental health to be compromised as well. Eat a well-balanced diet, exercise regularly, and make sure you're getting a healthy amount of sleep.
4. Be aware of societal pressures
Society leads us to believe that we are more valued by how we look than by who we are. This notion is not only incorrect, but can be detrimental to our health.
5. Get connected with others
By building and maintaining a network of close friends you can improve your resiliency to life’s stressors.
6. Make time for fun
Remember to take care of your own needs. Nurturing yourself is a necessity, not a
luxury. Set aside leisure time and do something you enjoy every day.
