Nawal Mustafa, American neuropsychologist, presents some strategies to ease anxiety in the moment and in the long term. Among them: go out and go for a walk, practice deep breathing techniques, meditate or even turn off your phone and take a bath.
Other strategies take longer to produce results, but their effects last for a while, the specialist says. To calm anxiety, it is essential to stop any avoidance strategy, she says. Pushing your problems under the rug in the hope that they will disappear is useless, she adds.
