Writing
One of the classic methods to deal with anxiety is through writing. Back in the day, people were encouraged to keep a physical journal to help them write down how they’re feeling and to help vent things out. These days, it’s as easy as using your phone or laptop and typing away. The trouble with anxiety is the way it stops you from collecting your thoughts. As a result, you start to feel a terrible sense of foreboding, making it much more challenging to stay calm. Such is the reason why writing works so well. Similar to how anxiety makes you feel helpless and stops you from collecting your thoughts, writing does the opposite.
When writing, take the time to figure out how you’re feeling and start to write it down. Even if you’re feeling anxious and end up writing about the things that trigger you, it still goes a long way to keep your thoughts together. While anxiety might make you feel helpless, writing gives you an outlet to help you calm down.
Even those who aren’t fond of writing will find a sense of comfort and control when using it as a remedy to treat anxiety.
