Anxiety

Many people experiencing anxiety have different symptoms and reactions. 

It is important to understand that anxiety is an expression of perceived fears. People experience symptoms ranging from elevated heart rate to physical and emotional paralysis. There are many tools that can alleviate symptoms, but it is wise to seek medical assistance in an emergency for more severe effects. 

A few techniques to reduce symptoms include meditation, deep breathing, body consciousness such as planting feet firmly on the ground and becoming aware of how each part of your body is feeling in the present moment, listening to music, exercise, identifying the fear and then challenging any irrational beliefs or reactions. Stay present in the moment and reach out to your support system and a licensed professional.
