Anxiety or anxiety can be worrying and tormenting for someone who experiences it. This is because the relationship between the mind and body is indeed very close, so that unstable emotional conditions such as anxiety can be felt directly in the physical reaction.
Not only fear, anxiety can also cause physical symptoms such as headaches, nausea, muscle pain, and shortness of breath. Quoted from WebMD, on Thursday, December 18, 2025, this happens because when the brain detects a threat, the body goes into a standby mode known as the fight or flight response.
As a result, the body will release stress hormones that make the heart beat faster, shortness of breath, and muscles tense. This reaction is actually a natural protection mechanism, but if it often appears without a real threat, the body can easily get tired and uncomfortable.
Therefore, it is very important to handle anxiety symptoms well so that it does not interfere with the body's work. Here are some ways that can be done to overcome it.
1. Recognize body signals
Recognizing body signals is the first step to recovery. Many are unaware that what they feel is actually related to emotional conditions.
Thus, the main important step to take is to stop for a moment and pay attention to what the body is experiencing. By being aware of when symptoms appear and what situations cause them, this can help understand the pattern of anxiety that occurs.
2. Reduce symptoms with simple things
To reduce symptoms of anxiety, you can do simple things, but very effective. Like regulating your breath slowly, which helps calm the nervous system and reduce tension.
Another thing that can be done is to divert attention through light activities, which can help break the excessive focus on the symptoms of anxiety that the body is experiencing.
3. Do light physical activity
Another way to overcome anxiety symptoms is to do light physical activity. Such as walking or stretching, which helps release the stress stored in the muscles.
If done regularly, these methods will help your body and mind become calmer when anxiety symptoms appear.
