12 Ways To Calm Anxiety

I have never been an anxious person, but after a challenging start to 2018, I found myself not coping well with deadlines and schedules.

I began experiencing an overwhelming sense of dread, fear of the future, panic attacks, heartache, tightening in the chest, insomnia, lack of appetite, lack of motivation, listlessness and more.

I had to start using tools to help bring me out of that state.

Dealing with anxiety is not an easy journey but by working with these tools one by one you can begin to escape.

I can honestly say that anxiety no longer affects me. It has been replaced by a renewed determination to take care of the very fragile ego. It is this that has inspired me to share with you some of these skills and lifestyle changes.
