4 ways to calm down from anxiety, according to this psychologist

There's so much advice out there about anxiety and managing your thoughts, but none of it should get in the way of getting your mind in order. According to psychiatrist Daniel Amen, also known as a brain imaging researcher in California, there are four solutions for managing your mind and alleviating anxiety.

-Do diaphragmatic breathing

Slow breathing brings more oxygen to the brain, which helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system. This tactic not only helps to de-stress and calm the situation, but it is also helpful in preparing our bodies for sleep.

-Listen to relaxing music

“People who experience anxiety should listen to music to calm their minds,” says Amen. Researchers from the University of Exeter in the United Kingdom found that people who listen to music frequently throughout their lives tend to have stronger memories and better brain health as they age.

-Do hypnosis

Amen says hypnosis is a tool that helps relieve stress and anxiety. Hypnotherapist Elena Mosaner adds: "What we need to do is use relaxation techniques so that patients enter a relaxed state of mind and their subconscious is open to advice."

-Give your brain a name

Give the brain a name because this is how people gain psychological distance from the noises in their heads, above all it is a healthy separation between thought and belief.
