Are you struggling with anxiety and anxiety related disorders? While its only been recognized as a "mental illness" recently its something that's been affecting millions of people for a long time. The shocking fact is not how many people are affected but ho many people are on anti depressants and other strong drugs to help control this problem in their lives. While medication is important in certain situations, its been over prescribed and far too many people are becoming dependent on drugs just to "control" their anxiety.
Ask any expert and they will tell you that no drug can cure anxiety - ever. It only suppresses the problem and sweeps the symptoms under the rug. It does not deal with the real cause - which is how you can overcome anxiety for good.
While therapy is still the most effective way to overcome anxiety-related problems, there are a number of very simple things you can do yourself to help you get over it for good. Here are 3 very simple but very unusual things you can start doing today.
1. Take up a team sport
Anxiety often keeps you locked up in your own world of fear. Participating in a team sport is great because it allows you to get out and be part of something. There is enough "security" in the group to help you deal with that fear yet it allows you to participate or withdraw as much as you feel comfortable with. Exercise also does wonders for your state of mind and your overall well being.
2. Meditation
While most people think of a guru sitting crossed legged when we talk about meditation, nothing could be further from the truth. Although its a spiritual practice that's been practiced by various religions for centuries, its a "tool" that you can use to get control over your mind. Meditation allows you to still your mind, to get quiet and to still the noise of everyday life. In this space you can find a sense of inner peace which is essential if you want to conquer anxiety.
3. Spirituality
Its been said that there is a spiritual solution to every problem in your life. Whether you believe it or not is quite a different story but one thing is for sure: spirituality will help you to reconnect with your true self. Underneath the flesh and bones that you see in the mirror is the "real you" which is free from problems and anxiety. Spirituality will help you to find God within yourself which can be very powerful in transcending this thing called anxiety.
