Tired of anxiety and want natural forms of treatment? These techniques place the focus on reducing anxiety without drugs. Many experts have found they are very effective in relieving the symptoms associated with anxiety.
Regulating Breathing
Start by closing your eyes and allow yourself to focus on breathing. Take a deep, slow breath through both nostrils. Notice how it fills your lungs. Pointedly exhale, and note how your lungs begin to contract. Continuing this exercise, your entire focus will be on this process as deeply inhaling and exhaling slowly causes your anxiety and stress to evaporate. Perform this exercise between five and ten times to get the best results.
Exercise
Similar to the concept of breathing techniques is physical exercise. Methods that work on exercising the body are greatly helpful for relieving stress. It has long been known that in the processes of physical exercise and associated breathing, stress-relieving endorphins release. These work on your general sense of well-being, greatly reducing your stress.
Journal
Your notebook or a word processor make an excellent place to record how you are feeling. Knowing your words are private, your frustrations and worries can all be let out into this special place. Anxiety often comes from feelings we think and we cannot or should not express. You are giving your problems and yourself the voice you need when you allow yourself the chance to vent.
Take a Hot Bath
Relaxing the muscles in your body is an essential element in relieving stress. Enjoying a long, relaxing bath is a natural way to relax your muscles. The effect is increased by keeping the world outside away for a little while. Perhaps you believe this is a method reserved for women? Anxiety and stress affect both genders, so this method is equally appropriate for men and women. Your senses will be heightened, and more tension released, if you include gentle music and candles.
