Five natural treatments to conquer anxiety

Everyone experiences low periods, for many highs and lows are simply the way it is

and at least they might help you to realize what's good in your life. However, anxiety is something quite different. One sign of depression is that your 'blue periods' go on for more than a few hours per day. The other is if you have two or more of the following symptoms on a consistent or regular basis of: Low Self-Esteem, Fatigue, Sleep Problems, Appetite Changes, Weight Swings, Feelings of Guilt, Worthlessness, Suicide or a general loss of interest in your normal activities. Now is the time to break the cycle and get out of it, below are five small changes you can make this minute to produce a transformation in yourself.

Adapt your body. There is a distinct body language that is often associated with anxiety. The signs are, moving sluggishly or lethargically, shoulders slumped, head down looking at the ground. Negative body shape is acknowledged to amplify negative thoughts and emotions. Alter your body posture - even by doing something as basic as looking up towards the sky or jumping up and down - breaks the circle, cuts off the memory and changes your way of thinking.

Cut down the sugar in your life. Just by decreasing your consumption of cakes, biscuits, chocolate and processed foods has a profound effect on your body chemistry. In a study at the University of South Alabama, Professor Larry Christenden found that reducing the sugar levels in the blood helped to lift the mood of 25% of patients.

LoL!. Instinctively we know that laughter is known to intensify the levels of endorphins and stimulate the left frontal lobe of the brain where happy thoughts and moods are created. Simply laughing out loud for no good reason, watching a comedy programme, or an associating with a happy peer group will have a positive beneficial effect.

Talk to a friend. A problem shared is a problem halved. Talking through a problem with someone will help you gain a fresh perspective. If that's not possible then listening to a self-help programme would have a similar effect.

Move More. Deep down, we all know that exercise is just as effective as Prozac in decreasing the symptoms of depression. In fact Professor Tylee of Maudsley Hospital, London says 'It's top of the list of treatments we're recommending doctors 'prescribe' to patients'. Try it and you'll find that any additional movement will help you to feel better.So why not do something different, just to break the pattern.

Natural treatments like these may not necessarily treat the root cause of the problem but, are known to help decrease the effects of depression long enough to help you find a way to cut down the symptoms.
