What relaxes anxiety?
Relaxation skills address anxiety from the standpoint of the body by reducing muscle tension, slowing down breathing, and calming the mind. Relaxation skills can be structured; examples are slow diaphragmatic breathing, meditation, and yoga.
What is a good vitamin for stress?
Several vitamins and other supplements have been linked to reduced stress symptoms, including Rhodiola rosea, melatonin, glycine, and ashwagandha. L-theanine, B complex vitamins, and kava may also help increase your body’s resistance to life’s stressors.
When should you deep breath?
Try to schedule time for deep breathing every day. You may want to start your day with it. Or you may want to wait until the afternoon when the kids are home from school and do it together. It can help them wash away some of the stress of their day and prepare everyone for a calmer, more relaxing evening.
