Quick Tips to Calm Your Anxious Mind

Anxiety has an effect on different people in different ways. You do not have to be diagnosed with a disorder to feel the intrusive effects. Here are a few ways to ease anxiety healthfully –

1. Meditative Shower

It is easy to calm your mind when you are standing under the stream of water at the perfect temperature for you. Enjoy the soothing sensation of the water on the skin and feel it drip down your body. Do not judge your thoughts or yourself for having them. But, visualize them going in the drain and bringing your focus back to the experience of cleansing the mind and body.

2. Practice Mindfulness

Try to observe your thoughts rather than reacting automatically to them. Take them as clouds floating by. Try to untangle yourself and just observe the thoughts rather than reacting to them.

3. Watchful Eating

Instead of eating quickly, turn your mealtime into meditation. Breathe deeply and identify the different nuances in each item on your plate. Take deep breaths between each bite and think about the meal like a foodie appreciating the different textures and flavours. If you find the thoughts to wander to things you have done or have to do, bring your attention to the hand. Breathe deeply, take a bite and focus on savouring the food in front of you.
