Coping with Anxiety in
the Moment
Lifestyle change is a
process, not an overnight
solution. But if you are struggling
right now, you need solutions
right now. Don’t underestimate
the power of simple tools, such
as deep breathing and reality
checking, to bring you relief.
Naming your feelings in the
moment can take the power out
of them. Journaling can help you
gain perspective and release some
of the clutter in your brain.
Finally, seek support in the form
of friends, therapy, or support
groups. Always consult with your
doctor for your best approach
to coping with your anxiety and
know that you are not alone in
this anxiety epidemic. Hopefully,
we can all do our part to help to
lessen its grip on so many in our
society.
