If you find yourself plagued by anxiety-inducing pressure and stress, know that it’s a real and legitimate experience, and it’s one that you can chase out of your life. Try these tips to reduce pressure-based anxiety:

  • Each night, jot down a few things you did well that day to shift your focus from your perceived shortcomings to reality-based truths.
  • Practice mindfulness in moments where anxiety spikes because of pressure and stress. Pull your racing thoughts out of your mind and into the physical world around you right now so you can do what you need to do without anxiety blocking you.
