Anxiety
Anxiety
is an unpleasant emotional state of uneasiness and distress, or
feeling of impending doom, although there is no obvious threat. It
is characterized by apprehension and worry. Some anxiety is
normal; it becomes a problem when it interferes with normal
activities. According to Ayurveda, anxiety is a classic sign of
imbalance in the body. Prolonged anxiety, stress, and tension
affects the nervous system, and can cause many further
complications if left uncorrected.
Ayurveda, the "Science of Life," provides a clear,
concise, cohesive regimen to help people correct conditions such
as anxiety in a natural way. Yet it is much more than just very
effective holistic treatments. It provides a complete system of
preventive medicine and health care which has proven its
effectiveness over thousands of years in India.

Managing Anxiety with
Yoga
Before starting your yoga practice to control anxiety,
spend ten minutes in the Corpse Pose. Use this time
mentally to separate yourself from your experiences of the
past, and from the anticipated happenings (real or
imaginary) of the future.
Simple Breathing
Exercise for Managing Anxiety
Lie on your back in a
comfortable place. Breath slowly through your nose. Use
your diaphragm to such air into your lungs. Allow your
abdomen to expand at the same time. After the abdomen is
fully expanded, continue to inhale as deeply as possible.
Reverse the process when you breath out. Contract your
abdomen while exhaling slowly and completely. Repeat this
exercise several times.

| Lifestyle |
Don’t procrastinate, hide,
or run away. Believe that you have the power to overcome
your anxiety. Immediately, it may not feel good to face
your fears directly, but if you apply this strategy
consistently, it always works.
Often anxiety is rooted in exaggeration of one’s worst
fears and negative thoughts. If you are the kind of person
who embraces “worst-case scenarios” regularly, you may
need a cognitive tune-up. Strategies such as thought
stopping might be helpful. Whenever a negative or
anxiety-based thought occurs such as “I’m going to
make a fool of myself” or “I don’t measure up,”
tell yourself to STOP! Stopping these types of thoughts is
essential to interrupting the cycle of anxiety.
