Stress and Anxiety are feelings that everyone deals with. These can be started by having a stressful situation occur, by not knowing how a situation will play out, or worrying about the future. These feelings can be oftentimes overwhelming and hard to handle, here are a few tips to manage these feelings!

Eat and Drink Healthy

When you are fueling your body with what it needs, it will react better to stressful situations. It’s important to take care of yourself and your body and give it the right foods to help you in stressful situations.

Exercise

Exercising is a great way to let off steam and it burns off any stress or anxiety you might be holding in. It’s super important to have a regular routine that can be something you look forward to and will help 

Practice Breathing Exercises

It can sometimes feel like everything is too much and overwhelming and you can catch a break. Practicing breathing exercises into your routine can help you gain a little of that control back and help you calm down.

Reduce Triggers

It’s super important to recognize what triggers your anxiety and stress and try to minimize that. Obviously you can avoid everything that causes stress in your life, but you can minimize it and try to avoid it as much as possible.

Set Realistic Goals

Setting realistic goals is important for your mental health. When you are setting goals that are too hard for you to achieve, then you are setting yourself up to be let down and stressed out.

Overall, stress and anxiety are things we all deal with at one point or another, so remember to be kind to yourself when this happens! They can be challenging to deal with, but if you listen to your body and practice these steps, you can help make these situations more manageable!
