Taking Charge of Anxiety

Anxiety can be defined in various ways. It’s a feeling of unease or worry. Before a test or big sports game, you could experience anxiety. You can even face it when going to school on the first day and not wanting to walk in and get yourself so worked up. Every person has most likely experienced this emotion at least once in their life. What’s most important is knowing how to deal with it when it happens.

Releasing the Worry

In school, they always talk about how if you breathe and relax before a test you won’t feel so nervous about it, but that doesn’t always work. Sometimes it can be really hard to get rid of the worry you feel before or during an event that is making you feel dread or worry. It’s important to have self-confidence. For you to believe that you can achieve your goal if you work hard for it. Meditation is a great way to release stress over something. By just taking a minute out of your day-to-day life you will feel better. If you are feeling anxiety over something for school, planning can help get rid of that dread. By making a plan it helps you release your worry over something. Instead of pushing work off to do last minute, it makes people feel better when they know what they have to accomplish throughout the day. Lastly, another technique to try is whenever you get a negative thought or idea in your head push it away by thinking about something positive instead.
