How to Feel Less Anxious
These Small Habits Help Ease My Anxiety So I Can Just Live For the Moment
7
Here's a new trick that is really helping me limit my anxiety. I'll allow myself 20 minutes to worry and then stop. It seriously works! Giving my mind a set amount of time to focus 100 percent on feeling anxious, is better than worrying all day, while also trying to do everything else. Once my 20 minutes is up (I usually do this before bedtime), I force myself to move on. If a worry pops up, I'll remind myself that I already worried — I call it reaching my worry quota — and that I can get back to stressing out tomorrow.
