Fix Your Body: The biggest mistake is to start fixing your mind. You can’t think your way to mental health when your body is dysfunctional. It’s like putting a skilled driver in a broken car. Repair the vehicle first — don’t overeat, exercise some and sleep well.

Don’t Watch News: Like a sponge, your subconscious mind absorbs anything it comes in contact with. It’s your duty to oversee what it absorbs. If all you listen is rape, war and deaths then good luck not being anxious.

Relieve Pressure: We are constantly bombarded with the ideal Instagram life. This can put you under pressure to perform in life. But the truth is you can’t perform under pressure. You must take your life one day at a time.

Remove Perfectionism: The need to be perfect is the seed for anxiety. You get in a loop second-guessing your actions. You have to be okay with mistakes. There will be no pressure when you give yourself room to be imperfect.

Nutrition: Food is fuel. The quality of it will affect the performance of your body and brain. Increase your food in quality, not quantity. The best start is to avoid processed and sugary foods.

Don’t Resist: You can’t splash your way to a still pond. Similarly, you can’t think you way out of stress and anxiety. Accept and be aware of the physical symptoms. If you don't resist that headache, it won’t persist.
