Anxiety can be a tricky feeling that nobody wants to experience. As a human, you can’t control the stressful events that the universe throws your way throughout your life that cause you anxiety. However, you can control how you cope with those negative feelings of anxiety.
It’s important to choose the right method for you to manage your stress. Your zodiac sign influences how you react to certain experiences and how you can best deal with your emotions.
Aries: Sweat it Out!
Aries, there are so many ways to unleash your feelings of anxiety through athletics. Join a local sports team and play against others or head to the gym and break a sweat on your own.
This will give you an outlet for all of that pent up negativity you hold onto after an anxiety inducing event. Let it all out!
Taurus: Seek Professional Advice
When you’re feeling particularly anxious, it may help you to speak with a professional. Find a therapist or any other mental health professional to confide in and seek additional advice.
Taurus, we know how practical you are. Once you identify an issue you’re having, you like to look for a tangible result that will leave you feeling satisfied. Speaking with a qualified individual will ensure that you get the substantial results you seek.
Gemini: Pick Up a Hobby
Focus your attention on a new hobby to distract you. As a Gemini, you are very good at learning new skills and hobbies due to your attention to detail and ability to truly observe others.
There are countless opportunities for new hobbies out there. Take a class, engage in a quick Google search, or view a YouTube video to teach yourself something new. Then, when things get scary, you will have a hobby to think about instead of stress.
Cancer: Read a New Book
We know how much you enjoy being in the comfort of your own home. Because of this, it’s important to be in a palace you feel safe in during times of high stress. Find a book that makes you forget all your trouble and get lost within its pages.
Reading can transform the world around you into whatever you please. No matter the genre you enjoy, let yourself get swept away in the words you read and watch your anxiety melt away.
Leo: Schedule a Social Activity
When you start to feel anxious, reach out to your loved ones to plan a fun get together. You love spending time with friends and using social events as an outlet to express yourself and have a good time.
Spending time with the ones you love will bring a positive vibe into your life and distract you from whatever issue is on your mind. Try a new restaurant or even just turn on a movie and bask in the enjoyment of having your friends nearby.
Virgo: Take a Walk
Sometimes it helps to be alone with your thoughts. Choose a place surrounded by beautiful nature, lace up your favorite sneakers, and set off. Your meticulous attention to detail will allow you to truly appreciate the beauty in every aspect of nature that you see as you walk.
Allow yourself to mentally work through your troubles and come up with productive solutions. And don’t forget to collect any interesting stones you see on your journey!
Libra: Write in a Journal
Your main characteristic, Libra, is to fully weigh all potential decisions and come to the best conclusion that is right for you. Provide yourself an outlet to do so through writing in a journal.
No matter if you use fancy markers and stickers or just paper and a pencil, ponder your true thoughts about any stressful situation in order to analyze what you truly want to do.
Scorpio: Watch a Movie
Your independent nature means that the best method to reduce stress is to spend time with your favorite person: yourself. Pick a movie that’s been sitting on your to-watch list, settle into your comfiest pajamas, and grab a snack.
Let the tranquility wash over you as you adjust all your focus on the movie that unfolds in front of your eyes. Relate yourself to the characters and imagine yourself in the setting of the film, focusing on happy thoughts.
Sagittarius: Explore a New Destination
Tap into your adventurous nature and head on over to a new place you’ve never been to before! For some, it can be scary to go somewhere you’ve never been before. But for you, it excites you and brings something new into your life.
The place doesn’t even have to be extremely far away from your house. But adding a new area into your radar can be exciting and invigorating, helping you cope with feelings of anxiety.
Capricorn: Plan a Spa Day
Self care is an amazing way to destress. Countless opportunities exist for a spa day and they can all be done in your own bathroom. Paint on a hydrating face mask, pluck your eyebrows, and light an aromatic candle.
Once you’re feeling taken care of on the outside, your mind will be cleared. Putting yourself first is key to prioritizing your feelings and making sure you are healthy.
Aquarius: Stretch Out With Yoga
Aquarius, roll out your yoga mat and start stretching! This will give you plenty of time to tap into your characteristic of independence and work through your feelings.
Allowing yourself to spend time by yourself and focus on your mind and body will help you deal with negative thoughts and feelings.
Pisces: Listen to Music
Music gives us a perfect method to sit with ourselves without having to sit in complete silence. You can choose a song catered to your mood and pick a genre that will make you feel better.
As you listen to the melodies and tunes, let your anxiety dissipate and benefit from the beautiful melodies in the air.
Anxiety Begone!
Acknowledging negative emotions and analyzing their true source is critical to making yourself feel better. Engage in these practices to help you deal with the thoughts and emotions that you may want to push further deep down.
No matter the outlet that you end up choosing, pick the coping mechanism that works the best for you. The most important thing to consider is yourself and how you really feel.
