Struggling with anxiety? Here are 7 ways to cope

Eat well-balanced meals 

Complex carbs and proteins help boost serotonin and energy levels throughout the day. You can opt for whole-grain bread or cereal and eggs or yogurt to power your morning.


Limit your caffeine intake

Drinking too much caffeine can heighten your anxiety, and even trigger panic attacks. This happens because caffeine stimulates your “fight or flight” response which then makes your nervous system feel like you are in danger. If you are typically an anxious person, your best bet would be to rid caffeine from your diet completely if possible.


Work yoga into your routine

When you do yoga, you are combining physical poses, controlled breathing, and meditation or relaxation. In other words, you can achieve harmony of the body and mind which makes it harder to focus on whatever you might be anxious about.

Try using aromatherapy

One of the many benefits of aromatherapy is its ability to reduce stress, anxiety, and irritability. You can try it in the form of candles, incense, or burning oils in a diffuser. Scents like lavender, chamomile, and sandalwood are known for their calming properties.
