Anxiety was a means of being aware of your surroundings, to be able to ward off predators and survive. So while a healthy amount of anxiety is good, the issue arises when your anxiety becomes excessive and interferes with your daily life.
With that said, here are a few little habits that you can explore to reduce your anxiety.

Hearing that last part made me cry "youre in control, not your anxiety". May those words come true for anyone who suffers from anxiety.

Thank You
Thanks bro
@Templehill-ls5vd who? I'm so proud of you for pulling through and so glad you are still on this side of the ground 🖤
@@harshvardhansoni4770 the least I could do, dude.
Side note, I'm a chick
I've been facing a lot of problems regarding anxiety. A racing heartbeat, uncontrollable breathing, overthinking, and even constant biting of nails. This helped a lot and I'm glad I finally have some ways to reduce this stress.
When we are under a lot of pressure, and anxiety arises continuously, it feels very tight in the chest. Also we feel unable to do anything meaningful. This is all so tiring 😔
i know how it feels too
It feels like your chest is on fire. Like there is an icy hand gripping your heart. It feels like your chest is swimming in tar and your lungs is constantly drowning but barely managed to reach the surface...
@@yunantheobserver6841You perfectly described what it feels like. And gosh, does it hurt like hell.

I’m too tired to even get out of bed how am I supposed to exercise
The thing is i can't sleep because of panic attacks
As someone with an anxiety disorder, I will definitely be working on these! I'm already trying to regulate my sleep. Another great way to combat anxiety by the way is setting little goals. Just starting with little goals can lead to big things later on
I'm glad fr you good luck
Those are great advice! Little goals help!
Lately I've been feeling so much more anxious and it's really souring my day to day. These habits sound like just what I need.
Being a person with anxiety is overwhelming at times the worry and feeling of hopelessness gets to be exhausting and robs me of the joy I should have for life’s blessings. Sometimes it’s hard to see the trees past the forest I’m in.
Thank you for these videos! It helps me put it into perspective and calming. 😊
I had a traumatic experience a couple months ago where I had 2 back to back panic attacks for the first time ever that were labeled as seizures. Ever since than I've struggled with anxiety immensely and can't seem to shake it. Even on the good days it sneaks up on me and alters the rest of my day, so throughout the whole day I never truly feel safe. I've had depression in the past and I overcame it relatively fast, but nothing compares to anxiety. I've been living in an almost constant state of fear and can't seem to shake it. Just the sound and feel of my own heartbeat scares me sometimes. I have no one to talk to about it and the people I can talk to about it can never give me reassurance, only pessimism. I know I'll overcome it eventually but that time-line feels so far away and all I want is to feel safe in my own skin again.
Your videos are in fact so calming that one can soothe themselves just by having a watch session of your channel. It has helped me a lot! Thank you so much guys for existing on RUclips. I love you ❤️
Thanks for leaving such a wholesome comment!
I find this video very valuable because it VERY fits to me. Anxiety is super tiring and overwhelming.And well... the gratitude again. I;m slowly practicing in in small steps in that gratitude journal, which I started immediately after that lovely episode "6 habits to live a happier life". Some times it kinda works x3 Well see if in the future practicing gratitude will work more. Anyway I AM GRATEFUL to you psych2go, because your delicate way of giving to thinking without judging is something I REALLY NEED x3
GRATEFUL TO YOU AS WELL! Do you do affiramtions too?
@@Psych2go I think I do. I started not so long ago without even being aware of it. Some of your episodes gave me better look on what I started to work and on what not yet. According to your animations I suppose to have SO MUCH to do. Don't know if I will ever reach it all, but at least this chanel gave me a little good nice start x3 And thank you for the heart so much! First I ever got from psych2go! ^^ What a nice gesture. And a little thingy to write in the gratitude journal * hugs *
@@Psych2go P.S If you will ever see one of my comments valuable enough to mention them in the animations, you can do it without even asking me. I would feel honored anyway. Take care and best wishes to you psych2go team!
Thanks so much for videos like these!
I struggle with minor anxiety attacks a lot but they're never bad enough to warrant any professional help, so a nice quick video with tips to help reduce that is really helpful
Your calming voice is a gift. Thank you for sharing it.
Your voice id enough to keep anxiety controlled
It's soothing 😌
1. Concentrate on ur anxiety by focus on one thing.
2. Practice proper sleep 😴 hygiene.
3. Exercise.
4. Break away and allow time for yourself.
5. List hypothetical and act on them...
6. Practice Gratitude 🙇♂️
UV light glasses are great!!! I've been getting off screens before bed and sometimes in the morning and it's helping!!! Best sleep I've had in a while
OMG this was very helpful I just had situation where I honestly was trying to help a friend I thought but it backfired and within the few days and hours anxiety was at an all time high. But this was Soo helpful to have steps to move forward to make a lifestyle. I believe anxiety doesn't leave u but learning how to control it and not let it control is outstanding!! PERIOD!!!!
I absolutely love this video, it’s so informative and helpful!! Another great video, psych2go!! I really enjoyed it. Awesome, thank you guys. ❤️💕😊
I know this has nothing to do with the video but I just felt I needed to say this.
I finally told my parents that I need therapy.
Okay so I’m 13 and I have been struggling with my mental health for some years, but some days ago I finally told my parents I needed help. It was hard to explain how I felt (even tho I already know mostly how I feel), they ofc asked some questions as parents should (most of the questions were a little hard to answer).
But this wasn’t the most important part, it was the fact that I finally convinced myself to go to a therapist and I told my parents which I spend the last month deciding whether I should go (as sometimes my over thinking self talk myself out of it) and finding the right moment to tell my parents. And then also how suppotive my parents, even tho i knew they would be but OVERTHINKING.
Btw. Sry if there are some gramme mistakes english isn’t my first language so I don’t know all the gramma rules😅
I'm so proud of you!! It's hard to tell someone that you need help. I'm glad your parents are there to help you get the therapy that you need and want. Now don't give up if the therapist through no fault of their own just isn't giving you what you need. Let your parents know and find another therapist. I went through 3 therapists looking for the one that could help me the best. I finally found her in the #4 therapist. The right therapist makes a difference. Here's wishing you the best!!
1. Concentrate your anxiety by focusing on one thing (0:38)
2. Practice proper sleep hygiene (1:35)
3. Exercise (2:22)
4. Break away and have some time to yourself (3:01)
5. List hypotheticals and act on them (3:55)
6. Practice gratitude (4:47)
thank you!!!
This honestly fits with me because I do have times where I feel anxious because of how at times I think of my past and what I did. But I’m gonna watch the tips that they show in the video and hope that it helps me because I’ve been working out a lot recently and that has helped me a little bit with my anxiety. I’m hoping that things do get better for me soon in the future and hope that my life turns around soon by next year.
@The Anxiety Coach What is it
TwT
this video came at a right time. I've been anxious all night and was super worried about my rising temper and that it might affect others. I'll try to better my sleep schedule more since that's been very bad lately.
Thank you. I really mean it from the deepest part of my heart. This is wonderful information. ❤️
The fact that her soft smooth voice helps calm us down and make us feel good, makes us happier that she understands what we feel throughout our life. ❤
I love ya guys. I love your videos. Best health channel on all of RUclips I’ve known to exist. Keep it up!
Thank you for your time and work!
This video was great! It helped me loads. Thank you to whoever took the time to help out people with anxiety. (Me)
Her merely voice calms me down. I sometimes play their video to fall asleep, and I could say it's effective. It feels like someone's always there for you❤
i feel like this video dropped when i need it the most. I've been dealing with anxiety for years but now it feels stronger than ever, and it will get even worse if i don't do something about it, even if i don't know how or if any of the point mentioned here would work on me. though honestly i don't know the point of even fixing myself when i'm all alone and have no one to rely on or a wish worth fighting for. i gave up years ago and i don't know if it's even worth trying to fight back my anxiety and depression again.
I am grateful to you for making this video. It helps knowing that i am not alone in this and we will get out of it.
Definitely tips I need to follow, thanks Psych2go ❤
needed this just right now. Thank you so much 🥺✨❤️
Thank you for this video, i really needed the help.. i appreciate your videos so much.. it truly helps me in my tough times
1 year ago, I was having a hard period in my life and now, a year later, here i am, back at the same spot. Back then, i used to come on this channel i read the comments, it helped me relax, now im doing the same thing, I hope that if you read this, it helped you even if its just a bit, and by realizing that this helped, youll be focusing on trying to get better, keep up, you can do it, i swear it does get better :)
Thank you so much psych2go. when you mentioned muscle tension, I realized how tense my shoulders were and just relaxed. I think, a lot of my anxiety is caused by me being mean to myself. your videos truly help so much and your voice is so calming and healing for the soul. love you
Great video. Once again, so glad to be here.
Thank you so much for this video!
Thank you so much for this video, I’m going through a lot right now and I think I am going insane but I’m really not. I needed these tips thank you for helping my life and others. 💜

just sitting and focusing a bit on my breath helped a lot. Thank you
I worry about a lot of irrational things. All. the. time!!! Recently i’ve been trying to get off my phone more, read, walk, and have a better “go with the flow” mindset. This video has helped me realize what im doing that’s hurting me, and what i can do to control my anxiety and aid it. Thank you so so much Psych2go!!! Lots of love, guys
Anxiety can be really tricky and difficult to manage but I hope that things get better for whoever is reading this comment. Please just seek professional help.
Thank you very much, that you've made this video. It really helped very much. Even now when I am trying to fall asleep and I can't because of the anxiety, that I had almost all day. I will definitely try some of the ideas that you represented in the video.

I’m not being consistent with my sleeping routine, that’s probably the reason. I’m grateful that you raise awareness to many different topics about mental health, relationship, and friendship. They’ve been incredibly helpful. And I know I still have so many things to learn. So thank you so much.
Thank you for the video 🙇♀️
Can't wait to see the next awesome video

Thank you very much❤
This helps. I got anxiety attacks. So i just needed this to help.
This comment wilk be off topic for this video but i have to hear other people thoughts on this
I am 14 years old and since i was 11-12 i had this small group of friends. There was three of us that were very close and we loved and supported each other through years
but suddenly a little before we turned 14 everything started to change
one of the friends became very toxic
no one is oerfect and we all have our imperfections that we can to work on but this have gone a little bit too far
one of the our little group of friends started to ignore us, doesn't care about our feelings, using us for schoolwork and also started dressing very different pretending she is something she is not, while that also became popular in class with girls i usually hang out
me and my other friend were very suspicious about this but we didn't care that much at first
but she started to use us only for herself, exploding on every our word that she doesn't like. This was going for a while now and me and my friend said that we've had enough of her using us and telling us to go away like we are some kind of her dogs
Now we left all groups with her and we will not pay attention to her. We will be at hi and bye
We'll see how she will act tomorrow
Thanks for reading this it means a lot! Bye
It seems that's around the age friends seem to go their separate ways and start making other friends. It's sad really. It's happened to me, it's happened to both of my daughters and now my son. But with my son he's the one who left his friends.
I do like the fact that you and your other friend decided to not to speak to her at this point. Except for the polite Hi and bye. She's been treating you horribly and using you. If she gets in your face and starts yelling, don't say a word and just walk away. If she calms down and wants to talk to you. You and your friend need to talk first. Tell her exactly what you wrote in your post. You should never let anyone treat you badly ever!! You are a human being and you demand and deserve respect always!! Especially from family and friends. It's hurtful to lose a friend and watch them follow a group that they shouldn't but hopefully she'll figure it out. I hope this helps at least a little bit.
Stay safe
@@Dh-rp7gg Thank you so much for your support! it really means a lot!
I really needed this
I'm so glad I came to this video
Needed this right now🥲
Great info 👍
Thank you 🥹🫂❣️
Thank you.
I have the biggest anxiety of throwing up. I get anxious that I will throw up in school because I been nauseous and having stomach aches lately. I need this. Something that helps me is cold showers. Be calm taking breathes. Reading can kinda of help me. Take things slow. Get things off your mind so you think about one thing at a time. It’s hard sometimes it’s hard for me but you can do it!
Hope it works for you.
I have anxiety, u can't snap it away, but can decrease it. Alot of these I definitely practice, it helps but won't cure it. I've been up for 2 hours & don't get on my phone until 1 hour later, I like to be literally by myself, use to journal, would like write again, definitely have stressors that is more that I need throughout the days sometimes, but I deal with it how I can. I don't exercise but meditate & sleep with ASMR on which definitely helps, was lacking alot of sleep which definitely will effect it, so I try & sleep at the same time everynight & get up the same time. My work shifts didn't help at once. Working till 1am really took a toll, but fit with my schedule, can definitely for sure use a vacation, however anxiety doesn't have a cure, but u can decrease it. I remove myself from negative situations & do like my alone time as well. Which helps. Too much socializing can be exhausting sometimes, but I also can be a social 🦋 lol too, just depends.
Good info 😊
I have no one to share my things so can i share here i lost my mother in covid after that my father married again and my new mom is not good she beat my younger sister and and in india she have alots of power she said that she can do false case like we beat her and we demand for dowry it is very common in india woman can do false case for dowry she can separate my father from me i dont have money to spend my life without my father i want to study but she said you have to work

Meditation music can help to reduce anxiety by slowing down the heart rate, lowering blood pressure, and promoting relaxation. It can also help to improve focus and concentration, which can be helpful for people who are feeling anxious
