Get Your Body In Motion

Add in an activity like yoga or jogging to not only silence your mind but to get your body in motion. They say exercise is a great stress reliever and I am one of those people who believes in that firmly. Give your mind an hour a day to zone out and push out all of the negative things crowding it.

Breathe

This is a small thing you can do to prevent yourself from freaking out completely. When things get a little hairy, just take a second to take deep breaths and cool down before letting it overtake you. I myself struggle with anxiety so I can understand how hard this step can be. You just have to force out all outside noise and just exist in your mind for a moment and breathe in, and out.

Stop Reaching For Junk Food

Binging on soda and pizza when you feel stressed or slightly out of order is not the way to go to make yourself feel better. This is fine once in a while but every time your day goes south, you can't keep feeding yourself garbage. Plan out your meals and eat clean, healthy food. You'll feel a million times better.

Say Something

Keeping things bottled in and combusting later on is not a good way to get negative feelings out of your system. Talk to someone whether it's a friend, family member, or therapist so those feelings don't consume you. Letting it out and only allowing good emotions to fill your mind will increase the quality of your day to day life.

Put Yourself First

This is the most important thing you can do for yourself and your body. If you don't feel up to something or don't feel one-hundred percent. Don't push yourself. Put your mind and your body first. If you need a mental health day, take it. If you need to stay in for the night and take care of yourself, do it.

Life will go on and people will deal. They want you to be at your best just as much as you want to feel like your best. Don't be afraid to cancel plans or ask for an extension.
