5 Small Lifestyle Changes That Can Help Combat Anxiety

Here are 5 Small Lifestyle Changes That Can Help Combat Anxiety

1. Limit Your Screen Time

For most of us, reverting to our phones — particularly social media — is often an escape from whatever is going on around us. Whether you’re escaping boredom in a doctor’s office or escaping the laundry list of to-do’s that life has thrown at you, too much screen time is a recipe for disaster. Make small decisions each day to help wean you from that unnecessary sensory overload. Silence your phone and put it in a different room while watching Netflix. Trade in your phone alarm for an actual alarm clock and turn your phone off when you go to sleep.

I also like to use the screen time app in my iPhone to set physical limits on mindless scrolling.

More often than not, what we subconsciously turn to as an escape, winds up being a pile of emails, a comparison game of life, and an overwhelming world of anxiety.
