How to Manage Anxiety: 4 Ways to Do It Well Anxiety: How to Manage It. Have you ever felt anxious? Or even panic? How can you manage anxiety? Anxiety and panic are states of mind born of fear. In this video, I want to show you the deceptions of these undoubtedly unwanted states that we don't like to experience, and what four useful tips can be used to better manage anxiety and panic. What is anxiety? Essentially, it's a state of mind that we often judge as negative, but which actually serves a purpose: it prepares us to face a threatening situation, a danger. At a certain level, anxiety helps us harness the resources to best deal with a situation, so we can call it productive anxiety. Beyond a certain level, however, anxiety seems to paralyze us and can even turn into full-blown panic. In reality, we often fuel our own anxiety, completely unconsciously. Here's how we can manage anxiety. There are three traps that lead us to unintentionally fuel our anxiety: The first is avoiding situations that make us anxious and afraid: every time I avoid the situation, I literally give reason to my anxiety, my fear, and my fear grows. The second attempt we make to try to escape anxiety, but which actually fuels the anxiety itself, is to ask for external help. We're taught that asking for help is an act of courage and something that's good for us, and in a certain sense, this is true. But when we're afraid of a situation and become anxious, we risk asking for help in the wrong way; that is, we ask someone else to do what scares us for us or to be with us, otherwise we won't be able to do it. In that moment, this attitude reassures us, but at the same time, it sends a very powerful message to our unconscious: you're right, you can't do it alone. The third deception is harmful control: when we feel anxious, we begin to try to control our anxiety; we reject it, but by rejecting it, we fuel it. So it happens that the behavior we activate when we enter a state of fear, anxiety, or even panic, in order to escape it, is often precisely what causes us to remain in those states for a long time. What can we do to manage anxiety? There are four actions we can take: The first thing to do is stay with the fear: this means avoiding the fear of fear, starting to accept that you can be afraid, that fear is an emotion and, like any emotion, it lasts a short time. So, if you stay with it, breathe, accept it, then, like any emotion, it will diminish until it fades away. The second important thing is to observe your thoughts: we said that we perceive a situation as dangerous, meaning we have thoughts about that situation; a real film about that situation will be activated. So stopping to observe your thoughts allows us to better manage anxiety. The third, very important thing is managing your body: managing your body is fundamental. We can work on our breathing, feeling that when our body goes on alert, when we're anxious, we can practice controlled breathing. The fourth antidote is avoiding avoidance: it means learning that since we're so good at avoiding, we can use this skill to avoid avoiding. Because as long as you avoid, you're justifying your anxiety, your fear, and your panic. However, when you avoid avoidance, you'll show your unconscious and yourself that there was nothing to fear, and little by little, that state of hyperalertness you're used to feeling in certain situations will automatically calm down.
