Anxiety is defined as a feeling of fear, dread, and uneasiness, often characterized by rapid heartbeat, sweating, tension, and restlessness. Today we see SO many people on antidepressent pills as the solution to this "condition". When in reality the root cause is not a deficiency of Lexapro or Zoloft in your blood. In todays fast paced world there are too many of us living in a fight or flight response. This means our NERVOUS system is not getting time to calm down. The body cant switch to off, because it is introduced to ongoing stress. 3 types of stress for that matter:
Physical Stress: Environmental factors, traumas/injury, or lack of sleep.
Emotional Stress: Psychological pressures- feelings of being overwhelmed, toxic relationships, etc
Chemical Stress: Such as nutrient deficiency or chemical exposure
To get to the root cause, work on reducing the root cause and improve coping skills that will last a lifetime naturally. Be patient (as you're not alone-many are struggling) and set up action steps to calm the nervous system. Make sure to focus on each type of stress.
Some examples can be:
For phyical stress: Exercise, Chiropractic and Postural Improvement. The spine houses the nervous system-Be kind to your spine
For chemical stress: Avoid meds that may trigger anxiety (research what you're taking). Consider TOP quality supplements such as Vitamin B-complex, Magnesium, Vitamin D(if needed), and Omega-3 fatty acids.
For emotional stress: Forgiveness, Faith, Present Time Consciousness, Cognitive Reframing, and Breathing exercises
