How To Combat Anxiety Among Students Is The Workings Of Applied Positive Psychology

By Gregory Myers


These days, there are so many reasons as to why people are struggling with health issues. Whether this is physical or mental. Reasons can range from social media to crime and much more. The sad part about this all is that it strongly affects the youth, and as students, their main priority should be education. So it's clear why the need for applied positive psychology is dire.

If you are someone that is trying to deal with anxiety and struggling to find a way to pass it, you may want follow a few simple steps. Firstly, it is important to watch what you eat. The stuff that one consumes has immediate and sometimes severe effects on your body. If you have something that your body rejects, you can quite sick or you can become unhealthy and not even know it. When you change this habit, you will start to feel better and this will also improve your mental state.

Social media is the biggest attraction and these days, if you don't have it, it is easy to look down on you. The internet allows for many access points and for students specifically, you can study and also keep in touch with everyone at the same time. The downfall to this is that when you spend too much time on it, you can easily become zombie-like and depending on what you see online, you can easily start to feel a sense of depression.

If you start to feel paranoid, more than usual, don't get too worried. This usually comes along with feeling anxious. As much as this may seem difficult, the only way that you will be able to get over that feeling is to just do the task that you are afraid to do. When this is done, you will immediately feel better.

A great exercise is to learn is how to control breathing. When you do this, you are basically taking a step back and telling yourself to calm down and relax. It's almost like a mantra that you can use in situations to get your mind and your body to become one again. This is not a bad idea to learn with other people who are going through similar circumstances.

As a last resort, you can always visit your GP to tell them what you are feeling and have them diagnose you. In this case, you will probably be given the name of a psychiatrist that you can see. From here, he or she will talk you through what you are feeling and you will eventually have to go onto medication.

Sometimes, it may feel as though it is an extreme case but it really isn't. It is important to follow the basic steps first and if they work, it means that you can control it. Try this before heading to the GP.

You need to open yourself to exploring other ways to try and combat it by yourself and only thereafter, if you find that nothing works, then you see a GP. Don't ever feel that you need to blame yourself for something that is not your fault. These conditions are unavoidable but what you do afterwards, is completely up to you.
