How To: Deal with Anxiety

Feeling anxious? First things first, take a deep breath. Breathe in slowly for four counts, hold it for four counts, and exhale for four counts. Repeat several times until you feel more anchored in a calmer state of mind.

For other techniques on dealing with anxiety, practice mindful awareness, talk it out with a trusted friend, exercise for 20 minutes, or take natural supplements like fish oil or chamomile tea.

If you are experiencing chronic and serious anxiety that is interfering with your daily life, be sure to consult your doctor or a mental health professional.
