Daily Habits That Can Help Relieve Your Anxious Feelings 

If you are struggling with social anxiety, treating it often begins simply by looking at your 
daily habits. You can change minor things throughout the day and make a large impact 
on how you feel, and the situations you are able to handle that involve other people.

Start Exercising

A really good habit to start introducing into your daily life is exercising. When you begin 
moving your body every day, it becomes a habit that you almost get addicted to. It gives 
you more energy, boosts your confidence, and can even get you out of the house into 
more social situations. Exercise is also good for anxiety in general, thanks to the 
endorphins it releases from the brain.

Focus on Better Sleep

Sleep is important for everyone, but especially those struggling with anxiety. When you 
are fatigued, you feel even less like you can handle stressful situations than on a normal 
day. However, if you start improving your sleep, you will notice by being more alert, you 
can handle those social situations a little easier. It is also important for mental health 
overall.

Meditate Regularly

Meditation is a big part of the natural treatments for social anxiety. It gives you a few 
moments every day to not think about anything, forget your worries, and set aside all 
those negative feelings you have about upcoming events. Take at least 5 minutes a day 
to sit in a quiet room alone, close your eyes, focus on your breathing, and really try to 
empty your headspace. You will notice it makes a drastic difference in what your anxiety 
level is each day.

Write in a Journal

Journaling is also recommended for social anxiety, since it helps you to work out your 
negative emotions, instead of letting them control your life. If you have an event coming 
up where social interactions are necessary, you can express all your feelings in the 
journal, and help that dump the feelings from your brain and try to change your mindset. 
You can also use the journal as a way to record the good days and the bad days, which 
helps you to find your personal anxiety triggers.

Start a Morning Routine

Morning routines take you to the next level of handling your anxiety. They include all 
things that are healthy for your body or mind, whether that means meditating while 
having your morning cup of coffee, or starting each day with a short yoga session.
