You can read all the anxiety advice in the world,
but none of it matters unless you take action.
Here are 21 ways to calm yourself,
restore the inner peace and make yourself happy.

1. Practice self-love
Each day remind yourself that you are a strong,
beautiful person, with a lot to offer.
“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe,
deserve your love and affection”
2. Walking helps clear your mind.
It offers you a different perspective.
“The mind picks some very bad times to take a walk doesn't it?”
3. Keep going forward.
Keep taking small steps, no matter what.
Being stagnant doesn’t serve you.
“If you are going through hell, keep going.”
4. Take a day off to spend a whole day doing exactly what you want.
- Eat what you want.
- Watch the series.
- Go wild.
5. Talk
Call or meet someone in person to chat about problems.
On the flip side,
If being around people is feeling too much for you.
Go home. Relax.
6. Educate yourself
Research what it is you are experiencing.
Arm yourself with knowledge and the resources to tackle the problems head-on.
“Education isn't for getting a job.
It's about developing yourself as a human being.”
7. Prioritize
Decide what’s important right now.
Say no to extra obligations.
“Remember that if you don’t prioritize your life someone else will.”
8. Be silly
Do something that you did as a child.
Don’t take life too seriously.
“Make your mistakes, take your chances, look silly, but keep on going.
Don’t freeze up.”
9. Surround yourself with people who
believe in your dreams,
encourage your ideas,
support your ambitions,
and bring out the best in you.
10. Be Generous.
Give something to a total stranger.
Acts of giving make us feel warm and fuzzy inside.
“No one has ever become poor by giving.”
11. Meditate is food for the soul
Learn to calm yourself with meditation.
“Dwell on the beauty of life.
Watch the stars, and see yourself running with them.”
12. Cuddle
Whether it’s your dog, cat, friend, or partner.
We are human.
We require touch!
13. Small steps
If you feel overwhelmed by everything,
break it all up into small actionable steps.
“It is better to take many small steps in the right direction
than to make a great leap forward only to stumble backward.”
14. Remind yourself of the value you have to offer.
We are often so good at something,
that it becomes second nature.
We don’t recognize that it’s something other people can’t easily do.
Recognize that value.
15. Take a break from social media,
If it all feels too much.
16. Avoid the comparison game.
If you find yourself comparing yourself to others
remind yourself (daily) that it’s not healthy.
“When you are content to be simply yourself and don't compare or compete,
everyone will respect you.”
17. Think about your dreams.
Allow yourself to dream.
Write down your dreams.
“It's the possibility of having a dream come true that makes life interesting.”
18. Get inspired.
Watch inspiring videos on Youtube,
or read some inspiring content here on Twitter pages (like mine)!
19. Help someone else with their problems.
This can often be the best self-care.
“There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.”
20. Get rid of limiting beliefs that do not serve you.
Consider what you can do right now to make it happen.
Maybe you can ask for a friend’s advice to start?
"There are no limits to what you can achieve on your journey through life, except in your mind.”
21. Remind yourself that life is a journey.
Remember that what you are going through is temporary,
It will pass.
“The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.”
