✨POV✨: There are some things we do to manage stress when we feel anxious. Like, maybe it’s binge-watching a familiar TV show, tidying up the house, or even cooking to just calm stress. Did you know these were unhealthy coping strategies for anxiety?
These coping skills to reduce stress and anxiety are mostly just sidestepping.
We're not really combating stress or reducing stress by getting to the bottom of what's causing these stressful situations.
These coping strategies as an evasion can be destructive and can have mental health concerns.
Hoarding these anxious thoughts in your head will only lead to them getting stored up to a point they make you either explode or implode.
So how do you avoid that?
By first understanding how your anxiety and other mental health concerns lead to negative thoughts and negative emotions or feelings - which could mean mental health disorders.
A glimpse into anxiety disorders 🧐
To simplify, it's when your anxiety makes you worry about and fear everyday life events, like school or work, to the point where your mental health takes a hit.
Well, this is when it feels more like a mental illness - anxiety disorder.
The most commonly observed anxiety disorder is generalized anxiety disorder (GAD).
People with GAD can have anxiety symptoms like trouble concentrating or difficulty sleeping, or even physical symptoms like breathlessness or heart palpitations. And when this intensifies, it can lead to a panic attack. (Regular panic attacks can also mean a panic disorder.)
Whether you have intense anxiety or occasional anxiety, the key to overcoming your anxiety or anxiety disorder is to face it with appropriate coping mechanisms, to safeguard your mental health.
3 Healthy coping strategies aka healthy distractions 🤝
💅🏽 Find something you can do with your hands
This works really well to keep our minds occupied. Just like how some people spend time with a stress ball while deep breathing, activities like baking, painting, and knitting are all great distractions.
📲 Turn to relaxation app reminders
It can be anything to virtually remind you to take charge of your positive attitude in a positive way.
Your go-to can be being - the world's first-of-a-kind self-therapy app that has guided sessions to help practice deep breathing and positive self-talk. Check out I see my anxiety taking hold of me, to begin with.
🚶🏽♂️ Physical movement.
Yup - step outside that anxious environment for a bit.
How about a quick walk to tire out the anxiety trigger?
Physical activity is known to reduce stress and increase blood flow - just like what deep breaths can do, too. Another great distraction from our stressor would be a hot bath or a quick nap.
In conclusion 🤗
Experiencing anxiety is completely normal and is nothing to be afraid of.
All it takes is to understand when to pull back the reins of your thoughts so we don't surrender to our anxiety disorders.
Healthy coping skills only make that process easier.
