    Understanding Anxiety Symptoms

    Have you ever experienced your heart racing, blood pumping, body shaky, sweaty or cold, dry mouth, stomach churning, mind hazy, overwhelmed or foggy? These are some of the symptoms of anxiety. Nobody likes them, they are very uncomfortable and at worst could lead to a Panic Attack.

    Additional Anxiety Symptoms Include:

    • TMJ (Jaw tension or tenderness)
    • Skin irritation, acne, breakouts
    • Painful menstruation
    • Insomnia and poor sleep
    • Eating disorders
    • Sugar/salt cravings
    • Migraines
    • IBS (Stomach/intestinal issues)

    Five Ways to Deal with Anxiety Without Medication

    1. Meditation

    Meditating is deceptively simple and best done when you are feeling calm. Finding a quiet place to be alone with your thoughts, following guided meditation, or taking a nature walk are all ways to practice. Mindful meditation focuses on breath and body sensations, while loving-kindness meditation focuses on compassionate thoughts towards yourself.

    2. Deep Breathing

    According to The American Institute of Stress, "Abdominal breathing for 20 to 30 minutes each day will reduce anxiety and stress. Deep breathing increases oxygen supply to your brain and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting calmness."

    3. Exercise

    Exercise releases feel-good hormones called endorphins that boost your mood. While effects aren't long-lasting, the mood boost will likely alleviate stressed feelings. Find an exercise activity you enjoy to stick with it.

    4. Grounding Techniques

    Anxiety often relates to thinking about the future or wanting to flee. Grounding techniques keep you in the present moment. Try counting tiles, naming colors of objects, finding red cars while driving, or listing physical sensations you can feel.

    5. Nutrition

    Eating nutritious food is crucial to fighting anxiety. Salmon provides omega-3 fatty acids for mood boosting, Greek yogurt and high protein foods improve alertness and mental energy. Combine with complex carbs like sweet potato or brown rice for the ultimate boost.
