A Personal Note


Anxiety is something that touches us all in different ways. For me, it tends to ebb and flow alongside my chronic health conditions, often appearing when my body is already under strain. I know first-hand how exhausting it can feel when physical symptoms and anxious thoughts feed into one another, creating a cycle that’s hard to break. But over time I’ve learnt that there are small, practical steps that can make a real difference. Whether your anxiety is tied to health, work, or the pace of modern life, it helps to remember that you’re not alone—and that managing it is absolutely possible.



Limit Screen Time


It is now a known fact that screen use is related to having anxiety experiences, so if you want to lessen your anxiety you should certainly consider limiting the amount of time you spend looking at screens. It doesn’t really matter what you are looking at the screens for, although if it’s social media then you have a double whammy, because those sites are also just bad for your mental health in general. Anything you can do to reduce your screen time is bound to help you have much less anxiety in general, so this is really worth thinking about.



Try Alternative Therapies


There are a lot of therapies out there that you might want to try which you might consider alternative or relatively new. These are definitely worth thinking about at the very least if you want to get on top of your own anxiety. This could be anything from some acupuncture to trying some CBD, but the point is that it’s worth trying a number of different methods if you are really serious about getting on top of your anxiety. You’ll find these are really important for you to consider at the very least.



Reduce Your Caffeine Intake


A simple thing that is bound to help anyone with anxiety is to reduce the amount of caffeine you are taking in. If you can do that, you should find that you are going to have a much better sense of being able to keep a lid on your anxiety, and it’s amazing how much this really can help you. All in all, it’s going to mean that you are much more likely to be able to deal with your anxiety because you will simply be having fewer of its symptoms anyway, and it’s really helpful to think about that.



Get More Sleep


One of the ways that caffeine reduction will help is that it will allow you to have more sleep, which is likely to make a radical difference to how you are going to feel in general. Most people will find that getting plenty of good quality, regular sleep is one of the best things they can do to alleviate their anxiety and improve their mental health in general, so this is really important for you to consider. All in all, it’s something that you should definitely aim for if you are keen to try and improve your mind.


Conclusion

Coping with anxiety is never a one-size-fits-all process, but it’s worth remembering that progress often comes through small, consistent changes. By setting boundaries around screen time, exploring supportive therapies, being mindful of what you consume, and prioritising rest, you can create the conditions for calmer, more balanced days. It’s also important to be kind to yourself along the way—acknowledging that anxiety doesn’t define you, and that managing it is a sign of strength, not weakness.
