Anxiety is the number one mental health problem for women and second only to alcohol and drug abuse for men.
Anxiety is a clinical term for worry that easily escalates into fear.
The fast pace in which we live today has made many more people susceptible to problems of this kind.
Technology changes almost daily.
We face a barrage of tragedies from the constant flow of news, and we are all aware of potential job loss in this economy.
The result is an increase in the amount of stress we all face every day.
If you find yourself becoming more and tense in situations that you face daily, you need to find new ways to handle the stress now, before it becomes a problem.
Keep a positive attitude.
Never tell yourself things like "I can't do that in this small amount of time" or I can't trust anyone anymore".
Don't try to hide your feelings.
Talk to loved ones honestly about things that bother you.
Make time to exercise daily.
Not only will this improve your overall health, it will allow your body to release the endorphins (the "feel good hormones") that occur naturally.
Make time to relax and de-stress.
It doesn't matter if you turn to yoga or do something simple like reading a novel.
Add more fresh leafy green vegetables and fresh fish to your diet.
The increase in Vitamin B and omega 3 will stimulate your body to relax.
Avoid alcohol, nicotine and caffeine; these are stimulants that fuel anxiety.
These simple things will help if you start before you develop a problem.
