8. How serious anxiety is varies.
Like anything in life, the seriousness of anxiety and anxiety disorders can vary. Some may feel debilitating and leave sufferers struggling to function with day-to-day activities. But others might only have serious symptoms occasionally. That’s why it’s important to see a therapist and/or psychiatrist to assess the seriousness of anxiety if it’s affecting your daily routine.
9. Exercise is a natural treatment for anxiety.
Exercise is thought to be a natural remedy for anxiety. According to Psychology Today, nearly 50 studies have analyzed this concept. The group consensus is uniform: exercise reduces anxiety and makes you feel better.
According to the Mayo Clinic, exercise can provide an emotional lift by helping the body to release “feel good” chemicals in the brain. The result is a renewed sense of calm.
10. Mindfulness can be helpful for anxiety.
Mindfulness (the act of staying in the present moment) is another way to calm the nerves. That’s because mindfulness can help one to stay present with anxiety, which helps anxiety to arise and then pass.
