Exercise And Other Ways To Overcome Relationship Anxiety
Though anxiety in relationship differs from person to person, it is generally characterised by excessively worrying about a romantic relationship. Here are eight ways you can overcome relationship anxiety.
Exercise
Exercise has been shown to decrease cortisol levels (the hormone in charge of stress. One recent study showed a 27 percent lower incidence of new anxieties popping up in people who exercised regularly than in those who didn’t. While exercise certainly won’t solve relationship anxiety on its own, it’s an important part of a well-balanced lifestyle.
Talk about it
When contemplating your anxiety or bringing up fears with your partner, think about who holds the power in your relationship. Don’t forget that unbalanced power, like one partner always giving in to the needs of the other at the expense of their own, can fuel anxiety.
Is the relationship worth it?
As difficult as the question may appear to be, it would make you realize whether the relationship is worth the stress or not and would help alleviate some fears in you.
Go therapy
Therapist helps you talk through ways in which you can prevent bad feelings from taking over. Not only can therapy help you better understand, interpret and handle your own emotions; it can provide you with tools to better understand interpret and handle the emotions of others.
Invest in your passions
Relationship anxiety that stems from feelings of inadequacy or loneliness can often be rerouted once the person rediscovers and reinvests in themselves. Because you have your own personal life outside your partner, set a personal goal and outline the steps necessary to meet it!
Re-order your thought
A huge part of conquering anxiety and many mental health disorders is changing the way we talk to ourselves. Thinking of negative things all the time can trigger anxiety; instead train your brain to consider other possibilities first.
