Make it a habit to take care of yourself. Stretch every morning and evening. Even basic stretches can help relieve anxiety and keep you in tune with your body. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep. You’ll feel more energized. Do something every day that makes you happy, no matter how small or large Meditate or pray or practice deep breathing in silence every day. Whichever works for you. Keep a journal. Express your feelings and keep track of the good things that happen to you there. Smile. Laughing relieves pain. Try to be happy. Just try, nothing can stop you. Get out of your room. Get out of your home. Get out of your comfort zone and work outside your normal routine. Remove negative influences from your life and recognize the ones you can’t. Everyday, take a moment to be thankful that you are alive and gracious for the blessings in your life. Don’t let yourself fall apart over the little things. They are not worth it. Drink lots of water. Eat foods like whole grains and blueberries and avoid high sugar food, caffeine, and alcohol to help with anxiety. Eat as little junk food as possible. Know that things will get better, but you have to put the effort in.
