Flush it out
The biggest mistake people do while dealing with anxiety and stress is bottling up their emotions and not sharing their issues. Which eventually makes their situation worse and the level of stress and anxiety keeps rising. However, the right way of tackling them is flushing them out in the first place. You can either do this by writing it down somewhere or talking about it to someone, which is a better option as you might even get a solution to your problems.

Exercise daily
While exercising the body releases dopamine, adrenaline, endorphins and endocannabinoid which are associated with happiness, boosting confidence and even reduces physical pain. With regular exercise, you can help yourself drain out all the stress and anxiety.
-
Get positive
Staying in touch with ‘positive‘ people can help you in reducing stress and anxiety. As you might have heard that vibe around you affects your inner vibe. So, you shouldn’t be maintaining ‘social distancing’ with these people, because its good to be positive in this case.

Power of touch
Have you ever felt relieved after getting hugged when you were feeling low or a bit anxious? Although, being hugged or kissed won’t solve your problems but, it will certainly make you less stressed and anxious and will lift you enough to face them. A good sex-life can also keep you away from stress and anxiety. Since our body releases oxytocin when we have an orgasm and increases the level of “happy hormones” in our body.

Cut the shit out
