All of us know the feeling when stress is running wild through our body. Everything you think about is influenced by the anxiety and worry. It’s horrible, right?
You can probably relate to this since about 30% of people who visit their primary care physician are actually there as a result of stress-induced symptoms. Things like headaches, muscle tension, stomach and digestive discomfort, anxiety, and depression are tied to stress.
The pain that results from these symptoms can produce a deep sense of futility and hopelessness. In fact, people struggling like this often think the pain is permanent.
But it’s simply NOT true!
According to Dr. Amen, you might not be able to eliminate the stressors in your life entirely, but you can start feeling better—immediately!
Kill those ANTs! Putting a stop to automatic negative thoughts reduces anxiety and depression symptoms.
Gratitude = A Better Attitude. Practicing gratitude actually changes your brain chemistry! Bringing your attention to the good things in your life has a powerful effect.
Sweat, Don’t Fret. Exercise increases both dopamine and serotonin levels in the brain! Exercise daily to experience radical positive effects on your anxiety symptoms.
Eat Smart Carbs. Many of us seek comfort in carbs when we feel stressed or anxious. Eating the right kind of carbs helps stabilize blood sugar for a more balanced mood.
