If you worry excessively, it can seem like negative thoughts are running through your head on endless repeat. You may feel like you’re spiraling out of control, going crazy, or about to burn out under the weight of all this anxiety. But there are steps you can take right now to interrupt all those anxious thoughts and give yourself a time out from relentless worrying. Get up and get moving. Exercise is a natural and effective anti-anxiety treatment because it releases endorphins which relieve tension and stress, boost energy, and enhance your sense of well-being. Even more importantly, by really focusing on how your body feels as you move, you can interrupt the constant flow of worries running through your head.

If you know what's causing your stress it might be easier to find ways to manage it. Some examples of things that may cause stress include: work – feeling pressure at work, unemployment or retirement.

Although excessive worrying and high anxiety can cause an imbalance in your body, there are many options you have that can re-establish harmony of mind, body, and spirit. Talk to your doctor. Start by talking with your primary care physician. Get a thorough physical exam to make sure other health problems are not fueling your feelings of anxiety. Your doctor may prescribe medication such as anti-anxiety drugs or antidepressants to help you manage anxiety and excessive worry. Exercise daily. With your doctor’s approval, begin a regular exercise program. Without question, the chemicals produced during moderate exercise can be extremely beneficial in terms of enhancing the function of the immune system.

Dropping off a new preschooler can be an ordeal—for both your child and you. While some kids skip into their very first classroom and hardly look back, others cry, scream, or beg you not to leave them. These children might be experiencing separation anxiety: a common phase in which the absence or looming departure of a parent causes distress. The good news is that there are things you can do to prepare your 3- or 4-year-old for the first day of school and help them develop coping tools for when they feel anxious at drop-off time. With a few strategies, you can help make preschool something your child looks forward to each day.

Most people experience stress at different points in their lives. However, stress is a physiological response to a biological injury or a perceived threat, and it tends to be relatively short term. Anxiety , on the other hand, is the anticipation of a perceived threat in the form of worry and stress. If anxiety is chronic and severe enough to interfere with a person’s ability to live their life, they may have an anxiety disorder. There are different types of anxiety disorders, such as generalized anxiety disorder and social anxiety disorder. These disorders are in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders, 5th edition (dsm–5).
