Steve's Guide To Managing Anxiety

1. Don't Forget To Breathe.

2. Family and Friends. No matter who you are you have some kind of support system. Probably more deep and broad then you realize. Use it, that's what they're there for. If you need help or some company ask for it. There's no shame in that. People can't read your mind and you may be better at hiding your emotions then you realize.

3. Walk Away. There's no situation in your life that you can't walk away from for a couple minutes. Get some air, walk around, take a moment for yourself you deserve it.

4. Special Place. Everyone has one or more special places. Places that they love and calm them. One of mine is the movie theater. I go to the movies by myself once a week just to decompress. Find that place and visit it often.

5. It's Going To Be OK. No matter what problems you have in your life it's going to be OK. All problems are solvable. All problems can be handled. All problems have resolutions. They may be long and they may be tough but eventually they will be resolved. And during that time you're not alone. That's the other thing.

6. You're Not Alone.
