Living with anxiety is never easy. After all, nobody wants to feel worried, tense or afraid. While millions of people struggle with anxiety daily, it is a natural response when we perceive that we are under threat. 

It is a normal part of life to experience occasional anxiety. It can be sometimes persistent, uncontrollable and overwhelming. 

While it is reasonable, you should know what the indications of anxiety being a mental health problem are, and when it is time to see a doctor. 

If you are experiencing  anxiety frequently enough that you need instant relief, try these anti-anxiety approaches. 

Control your breathing: Breathe in slowly and gently through your nose, holding it for about three to four seconds, then slowly breath out gently through pursed lips (like whistling) for seven to nine seconds. 

Controlling your breath is a solution since most anxiety symptoms often linked to poor breathing habits. 

Meditate: Practice serenity and start your day with quiet minutes of solitude and positive energy. Think calm, measured and be open-minded. 

There are so many meditating apps online and YouTube videos that can help you. 

Talk to a friend: One useful technique is to talk to someone you really know and trust, especially on the phone. Please do not be shy about telling them your anxiety. 

Make sure that you're talking to an empathetic and supportive person who understands thoroughly what you're going through. 

Do something physical: Exercising burns away stress hormones that create anxiety symptoms. At time you experience anxiety, your body is filled with adrenaline, so might as well put it in a great way. 

Not only that, but it also releases endorphins in your brain, which can improve your overall mood. 

Manage your anxious thoughts: When you tend to spiral into negative thoughts, it often goes without your control. It is essential to create a question checklist asking yourself about the anxiety experience, as well as positive affirmations.
