Understanding Anxiety
Anxiety is not just a psychological issue but a neurological one.
It stems from two parts of the brain – the cortex and the amygdala.
Understanding the role of these two regions can help manage anxiety more effectively.
Healthy Lifestyle
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, adequate sleep, and limiting caffeine and alcohol, can help manage anxiety by keeping the body and brain in optimal condition.
Medication and Therapy
In some cases, medication or therapy may be necessary to manage severe anxiety.
These should be considered as part of a comprehensive anxiety management plan.
Patience and Practice
Rewiring the anxious brain takes time and practice.
It’s important to be patient with oneself and to consistently apply the strategies learned.
