1. Diet: Each human body is a very sensitive machine. The old adage of "we are what we eat" actually holds true. If we fill our stomachs with processed food and lots of additives and chemicals then it will be harder for the body to remove all the toxins and waste products; this in turn can produce greater feelings of anxiety and discontent. Try to cut back on the amount of caffeine and alcohol you use, as well as quitting smoking if this is a habit you have.

2. Exercise: Every time we do any exercise our body will produce endorphins. This substance will in turn lead to a feeling of wellness and happiness for many hours even after the workout has finished.

3. Relaxation: You may often have problems trying to forget about the stressful events that have happened in your day. If it feels like you are constantly suffering from anxiety then you should try out a calming technique such as yoga or meditation. Through either of these practices you will learn methods to calm the mind and keep negative thoughts locked away.

4. Herbs: There are now many different herbal supplements and products that you can use which will help to produce a calming effect. Whenever you feel your anxiety rise you should sit down and make yourself a cup of camomile tea. The properties of camomile are known to produce an overall relaxed feel in the body. Before consuming any herbal product make sure that you are aware of any potential side effects.
