My Anxiety Recovery Programme

I have designed a Anxiety Recovery programme to help get rid of or at least give relief against anxiety.

1. Take Supplements.

Including Omega 3 fish oils (very good for the heart and joints and can really help depression and stress)
Vitamin B complex & minerals (to help keep the body and nervous system working well)
Co-Enzyme Q10 (Gives you more energy and is good against fighting illness and viruses etc)
Ginkgo Biloba (Very good for circulation, memory, concentration etc)

2.Exercise

This is very important, try to do at leat 30-60 minutes of exercise everyday, walking is fine but cycling, swimming, situps, press-ups etc are more intensive and gets your heart racing and this can help anxiety a great deal and it has aload of other good effects on the body.

3. Changing Thoughts

Try to always stay positive, do not let things worry you too much, negative thoughts will increase anxiety and make you feel worse, the more positive you are the better.

4.Diet

Like myself i no longer drink caffeine, all tea, coffee and cappuccino that i drink are all decaf.
Do not drink alcohol, avoid sugar and chocolate, do not smoke, if you smoke try to quit like i did.
Always eat your 5 portions of fruit and veg everyday.
Try and drink 2 litres of water everyday this is reccommended for everyone.

5. Deep Relaxation

Buy some relaxation CD's and listen to them and try to relax for at least 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening.

6. Aromatherapy

Buy an oil burner and buy some lavender oil and put it on the burner and have it in your room.
Lavender is very calming and can help ease anxiety.

7. Abdominal Breathing

You should practice abdominal breathing at least once or twice aday to teach the body to automatically start breathing normally again as alot of people with anxiety and asthma do not breath properly.

8. Take things Easy.

Do not stress yourself out, dont do anything that is going to make you feel worse avoid all stressful situations and concentrate on trying to make yourself feel better.

9. Enjoy Life

Dont let anxiety keep you indoors all the time and ruin your life carry on doing things you like to do and get out and about you will beat anxiety eventually dont let it keep on beating you.
