Symptoms of Anxiety and The Effects

Symptoms of anxiety such as irritation, excessive worrying, insomnia, feelings of  nausea, rapid heartbeat, and palpitations can leave individuals feeling overwhelmed and out of control. Anxiety can negatively impact social interactions, physical well-being, and mental health, as well as interfere with one’s career,  personal relationships, and social life.

Clients can utilize a variety of methods to manage anxiety including  journaling, aromatherapy, and exercise. Regular exercise can boost dopamine and  endorphin levels, ultimately reducing feelings of anxiety.

Establishing an exercise routine has proven  effective in lowering stress levels that contribute to anxiety. Aromatherapy is another soothing practice that can aid in relieving anxiety. Pleasant scents like lavender, vanilla, and citrus have been known to assist in stressful situations. Incorporating activities such as lighting candles, taking aromatic baths, or using scented oils can help soothe frazzled nerves in the moment.

Additionally, journaling serves as a method to alleviate stress and express emotions. Establishing a consistent journaling routine can assist in unloading the  pressures of day-to-day living. It has been noted by many that journaling provides  an outlet for emotions without fear of judgment. Whether through writing or audio journaling, discovering the approach that suits you best is crucial to your success.
