Anxiety; or hand- wrenching is a natural reaction to some of life’s most challenging situations. A little of anxiety is good in some ways, as it sometimes help you to meet a deadline. It also keeps you from walking head-on into danger. But sometimes anxiety or worries can be out of control, giving you a sense of dread and some kind of fear with no apparent reason causes your heart rate to increase. And once it begins to interfere with everyday life, worry is considered an anxiety disorder, phobias, post-traumatic stress syndrome, and obsessive- compulsive disorder. And sometimes anxiety disorders require medical attention medication. So here are some tips for you to handle excessive worry.

Regulating the breath is the most effective anti anxiety measure. People who have anxiety often quit exercising. But deep breathing can give you a sense of well-being and help to decrease the feeling of anxiety. Try to simply inhale through your nose for 4 seconds, hold your breath for few seconds, and exhale through your mouth for 8 seconds. Practice this technique regularly throughout the day for about a minute at a time.

Try to make new contacts. The more isolated you feel, the more likely you are to worry. Move out somewhere to a super market or a restaurant or some book-store and start talking with someone. Call your friend or some of your relative. Feeling connected reduces anxiety.

Always try to be in the present. Forget about the past. Focus on what’s happening now. Take 1 day, 1 hour or even a minute at a time.
People who are too anxious need to decrease stimulation. Eliminate some of the racket vying for your attention. Turn off the news channels; don’t answer any of your telephone calls; take a break away from your work and just try to be away from your cell phones.

Envision the worst. Ask yourself, “What the worse can happen to you?” “How bad would it be?” “What’s the likelihood of its happening?” The worse thing can happen usually is not that bad. What’s more, it seldom happens. Later, you may even wonder why you worried at all.
Write down the things which trouble you the most. Journalizing or putting your anxious thoughts on paper, can help you to defuse them and restore calm.

Get plenty of sleep. Give yourself time to unwind and relax. Take at least half an hour to do something quiet and no stressful before going to bed. Read a book or watch television. Avoid active tasks such as housework.

Anxiety often arises when you have too many things going on at once. Instead of viewing your busyness as negative, think of life as action filled, or challenging. If you are raising a family, for example, consider how one day you miss your children’s presence at home. The way you interpret things makes all the differences in the world.

Avoid taking alcohol. Beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages can exacerbate anxiety. It reduces the anxiety when you first take in, but when it wears off, it has the opposite effect. People generally get more anxieties the day after a night of heavy drinking.
Hope, with such suggestions you would be able to find out solutions for your excessive worrying.
