How can anxiety and stress be easily managed?

 

There are a lot of challenges that many of us face that can be stressful, overwhelming, and bring out strong feelings in both adults and children. Public health measures like social and physical distance can make us feel isolated and alone, which makes us feel more stressed and anxious.

 

People can experience strong and long-lasting reactions after traumatic events. Stress and anxiety can be reduced by developing healthy habits and receiving the appropriate care and support.

 

Emotional or physical signs may be present. The following are typical responses to a stressful situation:

• Feelings of disbelief, shock, rage, sadness, worry, numbness, or frustration 
• Changes in appetite, energy, desires, and interests
• Changes in difficulty sleeping or having nightmares
• Changes in concentrating and making decisions
• Changes in physical reactions like headaches, body pains, stomach problems, and skin rashes 
• Changes in the severity of mental health conditions 
• Changes in the severity of chronic health problems 
• Changes in the severity of emotional health conditions 
• Increased use of tobacco, alcohol, and other substances 

 

Healthy Ways to Deal with Stress and Anxiety

Emotional and nervous feelings, as well as difficulty sleeping and eating, are all common responses to stress. You can deal with stress and anxiety in healthy ways by:

 

Take breaks from reading, listening, or watching news, including those that are posted on social media. It's good to stay informed, but it can be upsetting to hear about traumatic events over and over again. You might want to think about sending messages only a few times a day and staying away from your phone, television, and computer for a while.

 

Here’s more of what you can do to release stress:

• Exercise, eat well, get enough sleep, and take breaks when you're stressed out.
• Take care of yourself. 
• Stretch, meditate, or take a long, deep breath.
• Try to eat a well-rounded and healthy diet.
• Engage in regular sports.
• Keep up with regular preventative measures like vaccinations and cancer screenings. as your doctor has advised.
• Get vaccinated as soon as possible against COVID-19. Get a booster shot if you're over 18 years old.
• Take a break from work. Try other things you like to do.
• Establish connections with community groups.

 

Talk to other people

Talk about your worries and feelings with someone you can trust. Talk to a parent, friend, counsellor, doctor, or pastor about your difficulties, how you're feeling about them, and how you're coping with them.

 

Avoid alcohol and drugs
