How to overcome Anxiety?

Everyone experiences moments of anxiety or tension. When you encounter a challenge, feelings like these may become apparent. When there is pressure to do well, they could occur. They can occur when you worry about making a mistake, looking foolish, or receiving criticism.

Typically, these circumstances are not harmful. However, the brain reacts as though they are.

Here are 3 strategies for learning to manage anxiety:

• Begin with a growth-oriented mindset

Some people have a rigid way of thinking. They may believe, "This is just how I am. Before presenting in class, I become nervous. I thus don't raise my hand. People who have a fixed attitude don't believe that things can change. They believe that is just how they are.

• Take note of how you feel when you are anxious

Learn about the physical symptoms of anxiety. Tell yourself what they're like. Are you aware of "butterflies" while you're anxious? clammy palms? trembling hands a quicker pulse?

Recognize that these sensations are a normal aspect of your body's reaction to a challenge. They pose no threat. They deteriorate naturally.

• Breathe

Take few deep breaths. You could take a breath in for four counts and then exhale for six. Four or five breaths might be counted with your fingers. No amount of deep breathing can make anxiety disappear. However, it can lessen it. It can assist you in being less aware of your nervous feelings and thoughts. You may be able to "reset" and become more prepared to go.
