This is a very personal video for me because anxiety is something I’ve struggled with for most of my life. I used to be ashamed and embarrassed about this part of myself and thought it made me a weak person. In an effort to understand myself better I started reading books about the brain and psychology and now I find it extremely interesting. These tips come from years of learning, trial and error and are the CORE habits that work the best for me. When I do all of these things consistently, I am my most calm and happy self.
♡ Tip 1 – Planning and organization

♡ Tip 2 – Eat frequently to maintain stable blood sugar
I make sure to eat something every 2 hours and have healthy, low glycemic snacks between meals.
My favorite snacks: bananas, nuts, lara bars, protein drink – the one I like is called Orgain http://amzn.to/1LZt1ng
♡ Tip 3 – Natural Supplements to help with stress and anxiety
I have researched and tried many natural supplements to help with my anxiety and the top two that make a noticeable difference for me are magnesium and l-theanine. Again, this is just what works for me personally.
Magnesium
About magnesium and stress: https://goo.gl/XMWwhR
Best dietary sources of magnesium- https://goo.gl/Adtcpj
Epsom salt- http://amzn.to/1QbLReH
Magnesium powder- http://amzn.to/20E08EN
Magnesium pills- http://amzn.to/1LZt3vc
L-Theanine
An amino acid found primarily in tea leaves, (Camilla Sinensis).
L-Theanine easily crosses the blood brain barrier, and plays a role in increasing and regulating several neurotransmitters, most notably GABA (gamma amino butyric acid). GABA promotes a pleasant calm without the drowsiness. L-Theanine interacts with dopamine and serotonin as well, resulting in increased focus, improved memory and learning ability
L theanine clinical research study http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16...

♡ Tip 4 – Positive Mindset/ Thoughts Reinforcement
My top 3 books that help improve my thought patterns
Don’t sweat the small stuff: http://amzn.to/1LZtUfy
The Power of Now: http://amzn.to/1QbMHYS
Your Brain at Work: http://amzn.to/1QbMIvR
I find it’s necessary for me to continually re-read snippets of these books to keep the lessons fresh on my mind- otherwise I forget and go back to old patterns. I write down the quotes I like from these books and put them in “high stress” zones as reminders and I also play these books on CD in my car (since I tend to get stressed while driving)
Please let me know in the comments your favorite books/quotes!
♡ Tip 5 – Mindfulness
