Tips for getting anxiety out of the body
|
Releasing stress and anxiety from your body is just as important as brushing your teeth, exercising or even drinking water.
We often speak of our mind and body as separate units but that couldn't be further from the truth. When we are stressed, we're affected everywhere. When we are anxious, we feel it with every ounce of our being. When you work on the physical aspects of stress and anxiety, it will have the ripple effect on your entire being, reducing physical symptoms as well as improving your mood and thinking.
Here are my favorite ways to exercise to release stress and anxiety in your body. Do these exercises once daily or when needed to let go of anxiety, stress or tension.
- Conduct a body scan. Do this, wherever you are and any time you feel stressed or anxious. Closing your eyes or keeping them open, pay attention to your toes. Move to your feet, then ankles, then through each body part up to the top of your head. Increasing awareness of where you're holding tension can help you know where to concentrate your relief efforts.
- Tense and release muscle groups. Wherever you feel stress, pay attention to that area. Wiggle, massage, roll, and tense and release those areas, and it releases stress and anxiety.
- Stretch and bend. Stand tall with your arms over your head, and then bend down to touch your toes, clasp your elbows, and very gently sway back and forth. Rise back up to stand. Bend to your left and to your right. Stand tall and twist to your right and left. Stretch, fold, bend, and twist many times throughout the day or whenever you need physical anxiety relief.
- Breathe into all four sides of your torso. When you have anxiety or stress, slow, deep, breathing can be effective in inducing calm. With hands-on your abdomen, take a deep breath and feel your belly expand and contract.
- Practice the cat-cow pose. This physical stretch is commonly known from yoga. Position yourself on all fours. As you inhale, drop your spine down and allow the shoulders, chin, and hips to stretch upward. Exhale and round through your shoulders, back, and hips the way a cat arches its back.
- Walk. Whether it's around the inside of your home or outside, get moving to release pent-up tension. Move at any speed that is comfortable and safe for you.
If you would like to learn more about how stress and anxiety can be helped, CALL our clinic today to set up a confidential assessment with our Registered Psychotherapist, Iain.

Don't wait to feel better, reclaim your mental health.
|
When our mental health suffers, our whole being suffers, too.
Depression, for example, zaps people's energy, sense of pleasure and joy, and motivation.
Anxiety can cause people to avoid situations, places, and even friends and family. Nearly all
mental disorders interfere in some way with people's ability to live their life fully. Logically, it makes a lot of sense to look forward to feeling better so you can regain mental health and live the life you desire.
While counterintuitive, overcoming
mental health challenges and re-creating a vibrant life starts before you feel well enough to take action steps. Action comes first. Improved mental health follows. Doing something, small at first, increases energy so you can gradually do more. Thoughts become more positive, regulating emotions becomes easier, and motivation builds so that eventually, you find that you are doing things because you want to-and you know you're capable.
Reclaiming your mental health with action is effective, but it is a gradual process. It complements other approaches you may be taking to regain mental health, such as medication or therapy. Do something you enjoy (or used to enjoy) every day, even for a short time. With every positive action, you move away from your challenges and closer to your mental health.
