Anxiety fatigue is not a dilemma to treat, but it is not easily understood. You can easily see the link between anxiety and fatigue because if you let your mind continue to race, you are going to make your body tired. When you let the wheels spin constantly, you suck up all of your natural energy.

If you could keep yourself at peace, you’d have plenty of spark and energy without having to drink so much coffee. Coffee is a great options for some people, but if you need some ways of treating anxiety naturally, here are some ideas: 

10 Tips For Fighting Anxiety Fatigue Naturally

1. Meditation – You don’t have to sit in an uncomfortable position or”ohm” the whole time. You will automatically have more natural energy. All you do is find a comfortable, quiet place to sit for at least 15 minutes where no one will bother you. Then, just breathe in deeply, and breathe out again. Keep breathing deeply and that’s it. 

2. Sleep/Napping – Make sure you are getting enough sleep. 7 to 8 hours is ideal. Begin disciplining yourself to go to bed early. Sleep, mental health, and physical health are all intertwined. When you get by on a small amount of sleep, your mind and body will be overworked, and your anxiety fatigue won’t go away until you get the proper amount of rest. If you have the time for short day time naps, then take them, even if it’s for only an hour. You will feel refreshed. 

3. Exercise – When you focus on how your body feels both during and after exercise, you will feel the major difference in your state of mind. When you feel good physically, you are more relaxed and confident. This automatically affects your state of mind. Exercise causes endorphins to be released from our bodies, and it is a natural opiate that helps us to relax and also helps with pain. 

4. Me-Time – We all know what me-time is, but not many of us believe that we deserve it. Even after all of the hard work we endure, we still feel bad to take that much needed me-time. Getting a manicure, hanging out with friends, and even going shopping, as long as you don’t overdo it are great ways to administer therapy to our souls. 

5. Cleansing and Detox Teas – These teas do not have caffeine. Caffeine is a bad option for someone with anxiety fatigue. Our bodies take in lots of toxins and they must be eliminated from your system.

6. Relax During Lunch Break – If you need that entire hour to recharge, take it. Use part of your break to either meditate or exercise. Listening to music during your break is a good idea too and can help to relax you. 

7. Laughter – Laughter is the best medicine, and can help us to release the happy chemical called oxytocin. Watching a comedy, having fun with your family or friends, and just being silly is very helpful in treating anxiety fatigue. 

8. Anxiety Counseling – Talking with a counselor and getting everything out in the open will help you to dissect and come up with a treatment plan to overcome your anxiety. Getting your worries off of your chest will cause you to feel like you released 1,000 pounds from your shoulders. 

9. Vitamins and Minerals – If you aren’t getting enough vitamins and minerals into your body, you aren’t going to have as much natural energy as you should and you will feel worn out. Vitamin B combinations, multi-vitamin/mineral combinations, and some Omega 3’s will help give that boost. 

10. Massage Therapy – Getting a massage is great for anxiety because it forces you to relax both your body and mind. Get one every week and you will see a difference.
