How to Feel Less Anxious
These Small Habits Help Ease My Anxiety So I Can Just Live For the Moment

Any exercise is good for the mind and body. A serious sweat session helps get your mind off things, so whatever you're into — be it kickboxing, running, or Pilates — squeezing a workout into your day will help limit anxiety. My go-to form of stress-reducing physical activity is yoga. Between the focus on the breath, and the empowering postures, the practice benefits my state of mind both on and off the mat. I also try to meditate for at least a few minutes at the end of my practice. I tell myself my anxieties can wait, while I listen to just the sound of my deep breathing, and nothing else.
