Exercise can do more than help you drop a dress size or get those abs of steel you’ve always wanted. One of the very best ways to alleviate stress and anxiety is through physical activity.
Getting less than necessary amounts of sleep affects your mood, patience, memory, thinking, and comprehension. It can also lead to increased stress, anxiety, frustration, and depression
Have you ever noticed that certain actions tend to make you feel better? No- I’m not talking about that tack that was ‘misplaced’ and left on your annoying co-worker’s chair. What I’m talking about are other forms of expression such as venting.
It is inevitable that we will regularly have these daily stressors and will deal with the resulting anxiety. However, when your anxiety begins to manifest itself in more powerful ways, consuming your daily thoughts and behaviors, something more may be going on.
While you may learn to live with this stress, it can start to affect your overall mood and behavior if you don’t manage it properly. You may notice that it’s harder to focus or that you’re more irritable than usual. You may have a nagging feeling of overwhelmed, sadness, or restlessness that you can’t shake. These can all be normal feelings to experience from time to time, but it’s important to realize that they may stem from long-term stressors when these negative feelings start to become persistent.
