JAKARTA - Excessive anxiety can make you mentally exhausted and also have a real impact on the body. You can reduce it with a simple practice of mindfulness.

Mindfulness itself is a practice of paying attention or focusing on the current situation. It is this state that helps to accept and deal with painful or disturbing thoughts, feelings, or sensations.

Doing a simple mindfulness practice for a few minutes is effective for reducing stress and increasing happiness. Follow simple mindfulness practices to relieve anxiety and calm your mind, cited from Betterhelp, Wednesday, December 8.

Set goals

Setting goals can help you focus and remind you to relax for activities. You can channel it through a journal or to do list that you write in the morning or before doing activities to help you stay focused on your initial goal.

Go for a walk

Being outside really helps relieve anxiety. Listen clearly to the sounds around you, feel the wind against your skin and the air you breathe.

To be more focused, put your cellphone in your pocket or better leave it at home, and experience your beautiful moments with your five senses and the environment. You can start by walking around the complex and feeling the comfort.

Log out of all social media

The more often you use social media, it also has an impact on anxiety and hampers your productivity. You also unknowingly open social media for hours.

If you're feeling stressed and tired of social media, slowly unfollow annoying accounts, get out and delete those media apps for a few weeks. You can also set time limits for all social media accounts. This makes you less likely to procrastinate and feel guilty about scrolling through strangers' social media accounts.

Simple and easy right? Do this regularly for a few minutes and feel calm body and mind. Good luck!
