WEEKEND LEARNING
Strategies To Cope With Anxiety

The below techniques and strategies can be used to help you cope with anxiety or worry:

Grounding Techniques

Exercises that involve grounding (or earthing) establish a connection between the body and its natural surroundings. Grounding is a stabilizing factor that can improve sleep, slow heart rates, and reduce stress and anxiety. Spending time in natural environments such as grass, dirt, and the like is the simplest method to develop that skill.

Grounding is most effective when the skin is in direct contact with the Earth's surface; therefore, consider walking barefoot and removing your shoes.

Special equipment can also be used for grounding when it's unsafe or impossible to spend time outdoors.

Exercise

Movement and physical activity are associated with improved mental health and diminished anxiety symptoms. Exercise consists of all structured, routine movements performed with the intention of enhancing health. Though exercise may impact types of anxiety differently, most exercises have a positive effect on symptoms, especially when added to a treatment plan that also includes things like therapy and medication.

Here are some examples of exercises to try:

  • Aerobic exercises, such as biking, walking, hiking, or swimming

  • Weight-bearing exercises, such as squats, weight lifting, and push-ups

  • Stretching exercises, such as yoga, Pilates, or tai chi

Aromatherapy

Aromatherapy is the application of essential oils for the purpose of promoting health and relaxation. Different oils may be inhaled, applied topically, utilized in massages, incorporated into compresses, applied to baths, or even ingested. Essential oils have been used for a long time as an alternative medicine, and certain oils have been shown to reduce anxiety. These consist of:

  • Rose oil

  • Lavender

  • Bergamot

  • Orange

  • Lemon

Aromatherapy oils can be purchased over the counter for use at home. Ensure you comprehend the recommended method of aromatherapy use prior to employing it, and never ingest an oil without first determining its safety. For expert guidance on using aromatherapy, consult an aromatherapist who can help you determine the best oils for your symptoms and offer advice on how to use them.
