is not true. In fact, you can conquer your worries or nervousness by

practicing some simple steps while you are at home. Outlined in this

article are some helpful tips on how to overcome anxiety naturally.

1. Muscular Exercises

Exercising is an anxiety cure that is 100% healthy and offers real

results. The fact is that people who do not exercise regularly are

far more prone to developing anxiety disorders. Exercising has proven

to be a great tool for managing anxiety, especially muscular

exercises. It helps release neurotransmitters, which leads to mood

effect uplifting. Also, exercises render muscles tired to prevent

anxiety symptoms. Still, they help burn stress hormones that are

likely to trigger nervousness. Also keep in mind that regular

exercise is a great way to improve your mental health.

2. Breathing Exercises

Breathing exercises are very beneficial to people with anxiety. These

exercises help calm the body and reduce the likeliness of

hyperventilation. There are numerous breathing techniques you can

practice, but the simplest one is as follows: breathe in through your

nose slowly for about 5 seconds and hold for 3 seconds. Then, breathe

out as if you are whistling for about 7 seconds. This gives your body

the right carbon dioxide balance, which in turn keeps your heart rate

3. Magnesium and other Vitamins

Studies show that people who lack proper nutrition are far more prone

to anxiety. Most of the processed foods lack magnesium, which is an

extremely vital mineral in the body. Bear in mind that magnesium

content in the body is lowered during stress. So, people with low

levels of magnesium are likely to cause the level even lower when

they encounter anxiety for a long period of time. It is not clear

that low magnesium causes anxiety, but extremely low levels trigger

or exceeds nervousness. So, you need to talk to your physician about

supplementing magnesium or related vitamin into your diet.

4. Shouting and Yelling

Another proven way to overcome anxiety is by going a bit crazy on

purpose. This should be done in a private room where you cannot be

embarrassed or anyone suspect you are insane. If you do it well, you

will let out all the stress you are holding in. This strategy should

be kind of fun. Look for a private room and start yelling or

screaming loudly. As you shout, you can do crazy things like punching

pillows and throwing things away but in a safely manner. Let yourself

go wild in order to let out everything you are holding in your heart.

Many people find it hard to try this, but after dealing with anxiety

for more than a week it may be the only option remaining.

There are also other proven ways on how to overcome anxiety naturally.

The list is endless. For instance, some people find it helpful to

relax when stressed up. Others use other strategies like goal setting,

socializing and taking herbal supplements, such as passionflower. But

you should bear in mind that commitment to overcoming anxiety is the

only way to go.
