Self-help anxiety breathing techniques are a great way to let go of stress brought on through daily activity. Breathing exercises can be done many times a day at home, work, and while driving
Don't wait for anxiety to show up before using self-help anxiety breathing exercises. A daily routine at different times is a great way to prevent stress, worry, and anxiety.
People have practiced breathing techniques and meditation since the beginning of civilization. These beneficial self-help anxiety methods have endured better than the pyramids. If you use breathing techniques daily, you will minimize the anxiety in your life, while feeling a natural joy and stillness.
This self-help anxiety technique is suggested to be done inside your house, or a quiet place where you will feel at peace with no distractions.
Self-Help Anxiety Breathing Method
The method is best done in a quiet part of your home, or a peaceful time during the day. For me, early morning when no one in the house is awake, can be the most effective time.
Try to keep your thoughts calm and positive. If negative thoughts appear in your head, don't get agitated. Allow them to pass instead of focusing on them. While using this self-help anxiety breathing method, set an alarm for 15-20 minutes so you won't worry about watching the time.
Make sure the alert is nothing jarring so you can carry the calmness into the next part of your day. Remember to keep things simple. This is an easy meditation that anyone can learn.
• Park yourself in a chair and sit up straight. Keep your feet flat on the ground. Don't slouch or you could fall asleep
• Gently close your eyes. Imagine a peaceful landscape or any soothing image.
• Inhale through your nose.
• Expand the diaphragm, not the chest, while filling your lungs with oxygen.
• Exhale through your lips. As you breathe out, envision negative thoughts and emotions exiting.
While you keep going, visualize of different body parts releasing stress and tension. This self-help anxiety technique can be greatly successful at minimizing anxiety if utilized once or twice every day.

Self-Help Anxiety | Strategies to Stop Worrying
Self-Help Anxiety Curing Strategies - Worry and Anxiety
If your suffering from anxiety and/or panic attacks, some simple self-help anxiety solving methods can really go a long way. A great deal of anxiety starts with our thoughts and worries. Learning to control these negative thoughts and stopping them from running wild is an extremely effective way to remove anxiety from your life.
Today's Self-Help Anxiety Curing Strategy - Stop Worrying!
Worries can distract you from what you need to focus on, keep you awake at night, and negatively effect you physically. Learning how to stop can be the most effective self-help anxiety strategy of all.
Some people worry about money, some about their relationships, and some worry about worrying! All this worrying fuels the symptoms of anxiety creating a damaging cycle which can lead to panic-attacks.
Some people think worrying is good for them. It keeps them on their toes or fulfills some ridiculous superstition. I don't know about you, but this type of thinking has never done me any good. It only brings more anxiety into your life. Anything that creates anxiety should be avoided at all costs.
A self-help anxiety method for defeating the worry cycle is to come to some realizations about life in general. A big source of worry stems from a desire to control every possible outcome our lives are faced with. Hoping and wishing things go a certain way at work the following day is a sure way to lose a night's sleep. And now that you've deprived yourself of sleep, what are the chances that the next day will be a pleasant one?
If you said zip, nada, or none you're on the right track. See, self-help anxiety methods are easy!
Seriously though, accepting that you cannot control every outcome in your life and coming to peace with uncertainty is the key to ending worry and anxiety.
Bad things happen to everyone and they will certainly happen to you again. There's nothing you can do about that fact of life. But what you can control is what you do in the meantime. And using the in between time to worry about what's next hasn't benefited you so far, has it?
Give up on trying to control what happens next. When you use self-help anxiety strategies to conquer fear and worry, you can handle those times when bad things actually do happen with a clear confident approach. The more you contemplate self-help anxiety strategies like this, you'll clearly see that there's no point to worrying about what happens next. You start to live in the moment and that's where a pleasant life really begins.
But what about all that empty space I have now that I'm not worrying anymore? How do I fill it?
My answer is to double your winnings and try some positive thinking.
The self-help anxiety method of positive thinking is one you may find easy at first, but don't get too relaxed. Well yes, the point of this whole site is to relax, but what I'm saying is that it's quite simple to fall right back into your old worrying habits.
Practice positive thinking relentlessly. The negative thoughts will always try to creep back into your head. They'll never give up, but you can become more aware of them and shun them away quicker and more often.
Stop worrying now and replace those worries with positive thinking. These are both excellent self-help anxiety curing strategies.
