The only way to alleviate the situation is to take action. You have to face the anxiety head on to change the habit of worry as quickly as possible.

Here is a list of 7 action strategies to reduce anxiety:

1. Get a biofeedback device. A biofeedback device is a little electronic device which measures the electric conductivity of your skin. It sounds complicated but in practice it is a simple way of dealing with anxiety. The device displays in real-time how your body is feeling and reacting to the stress you are under. By having immediate feedback as to how deep breathing and muscle relaxation changes the signals, you can train yourself to calm down. Biofeedback is effective, quick and long-lasting.

2. Be sure to get support. Anxiety can make you feel embarrassed and ashamed. These feelings can make you feel like you're alone in the world without anyone to turn to. Friends may be good to speak with about minor anxiety however be sure to speak with a professional about prolonged or severe anxiety.

3. Take stress reducing supplements. There is a body of research showing that certain herbs and supplements can help you dramatically reduce anxiety. The nice aspect of supplements is they tend to have less side effects than many of the habit forming medications available for anxiety. For a full list of supplements check out the free report here.

4. Learn self-hypnosis or meditation. Learning self-hypnosis or meditation is similar to the biofeedback device. Self-hypnosis and meditation teaches you to pay attention to your body's reaction to anxiety. Self-hypnosis and meditation, although similar, are different practices. Both are simple to learn and can be practiced just about anywhere.

5. Begin doing high intensity, short duration exercise. Exercise releases endorphins which are the body's natural pain killers. Often anxiety is caused because of pain and stiffness in the body which puts a burden on the endorphin producing areas of the brain. If you have done long, slow cardio for years you might have wear and tear injuries that are contributing to your anxiety. High intensity, short duration exercise which mimics sports is best for relieving anxiety.

6. Start a journal. Journaling is often touted as helping people to keep from "going crazy." If you suffer from anxiety, you know that one of the major fears people experience is that of going crazy. What journaling does is give perspective. The reduction in anxiety is due to having a new view on what is really going on. Oftentimes anxiety will blur the lines between reality and imagination leading to thoughts that are blown completely out of proportion. The very act of writing out your problems makes them seem smaller and gives you the feeling that you are facing your fears.

7. Drink enough water. One of the symptoms of even mild dehydration is anxiety. To relieve anxiety be sure to drink plenty of water. If you drink caffeinated beverages be sure to drink even more water. Caffeine is notorious for dehydrating the brain. The effects of the stimulating caffeine combined with the dehydration can cause quite a bit of anxiety.
