Rate Your Anxiety –Take out a jotter pad and catalogue what triggers your anxiety. Now rate them in order of importance and the strength of your reaction to the stimulus.

Brainstorm strategies for meeting your rated situations without becoming frazzled.

Prioritize and organize your life. Cut out the un-essentials and learn to say ‘no’.

Watch your diet – too much sugar, caffeine or fat can really weigh you down.

Exercise – release those endorphins that release stress and put you on a natural high.

Alcohol and cigarettes – get rid of them!

Sleep – average 8-9 hours per night. If you get either too little or not enough sleep, your body’s internal rhythms will be thrown out of whack.

Cultivate a close, loving supportive network of support.
