TIP
Use walking or exercise to release excessive Stress/Anxiety

Walking involves the use of large muscle groups which in turn consumes excessive amounts of various stress hormones.

Exercise has been proven to improve our mood; "burn off" stress; change the body's long-term automatic stress response, making us respond more calmly with less false alarms of the fight or flight response; relaxes your muscles; and increases our sense of self control.

When you're getting started with exercise decide on a length of time that feels very do-able to you -- whether it's ten seconds, one minute, or ten minutes.

Don't worry if you think it's not long enough to get much benefit. Creating an easily achievable goal is what counts when you're getting started because then you are more likely to stick with it.

Start gradually if your symptoms are intense -- even one or two minutes of walking in your house a few times a day is a great start!
