Lifestyle changes that help with anxiety

[Dch]

Did you try something to change in your life and in what way do these changes help you in better handling anxiety? Did you make changes in your eating habits, bedtime habits, did you find a hobby to distract your attention from the anxiety and its symptoms? Anything that was successful for you and you would like to share with us?

I refuse to think about and analyze my anxiety in the phases of my life when there is no noticeable anxiety. But, it leaves me totally unprepared for the anxiety period because I did not develop any strategy, any approach that could help me in handling anxiety.

I find that commenting to online forums such as AnxietyCommunity.com is a hobby that's therapeutic and helps me be happy and calm.

It's just a hobby. But it's a lifestyle change that has helped me.

Altering eating habits for the better certainly helps. Specifically, avoiding caffeine (can have some now and then) and sugar and all that junk. Getting better sleep has also helped me. What helped the most, however, is really focusing on what I learned in therapy and challenging my negative thought patterns and behaviors.

avoiding caffeine

I'm drinking too much coffee, and I know that I should cut down on caffeine. But, I adore coffee.

I love walking (at least one hour per day) and find it very useful in dealing with anxiety.

exercise is a huge help with anxiety, mine at least.

i've found that just generally trying to stay busy and getting good sleep to be immensely helpful as well.

Drink decaf. It tastes the same, but without the high caffeine.

I changed my work schedule, i started fasting. Both of which made a big difference in me. As well as changing my bc
