Great point, loose30cannon! I, too, have been dealing with a lot of anxiety lately. I had my blood tested and found out I have an omega 3 deficiency. This, along with my caffeine and nicotine habits certainly did not help. Now, I have quit nicotine, cut down considerably on caffeine and focus on positive thoughts and surround myself with positive people. All great posts on here of tips that I use that work.

So, take a look at diet, lifestyle, thought process, etc. And some simple changes can do wonders. I also started to meditate. The anxiety can make it challenging at first. However, focus and stick with it. I started using a timer of short intervals and gradually increased it so that I can meditate for longer periods of time. Thanks to all who have posted these tips!

Learn Peaceful Place techniques and meditate, changing any negativity by using the process of acceptance, co-operation, unconditional love and forgiveness to develop the sense of inner peace.


All the best,
