Reduce Anxiety

How to reduce your body's physiological response to high anxiety and improve clarity of thought.

• Deep breathing restores oxygen to the brain and helps control the body's 'fight or flight' response.
• Once your nervous system is calm, pay close attention to the thoughts that are worrying you. Are they rational? Is there a more helpful perspective?
• Anxiety is closely related to sleep, diet and exercise. Assess whether you have this balance right for long term management.
