As we all know, anxiety is the mind and body's reaction to stressful, dangerous, or unfamiliar situations. It's the sense of uneasiness, distress, or dread you feel before a significant event.
And I am sure we've all have experienced the feeling of anxiety, whether it's butterflies in the stomach, sweaty palms, or heart palpitations.
And a certain level of anxiety helps us stay alert and aware, however, for some people anxiety can occur on a daily basis which can cause a hindrance in their day to day activities.
So here are a few simple lifestyle changes that one can try to lessen the anxiety.

When anxious, our breath becomes rapid and shallow. Deep breathing helps decrease anxiety by stimulating the body's relaxation response, lowering our heart rate and blood pressure.

Deep breathing is a powerful technique that works because you can't breathe deeply and be anxious at the same time.
So the next time you feel anxious, try deep breathing for a couple of minutes.
