However, identifying and reducing the factors contributing to your overall anxiety is necessary, according to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thelookingglass.jm\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-skimlinks-tracking=\"7746830\" rel=\"noopener\">Jose\u00e9 Muldrew<\/a>, a licensed professional counselor and founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelookingglassjm.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-skimlinks-tracking=\"7746830\" data-affiliate=\"true\" rel=\"noopener\">The Looking Glass<\/a>, a private therapy practice in Georgia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first thing I always encourage people to do is actually taking a moment to slow down and reflect the triggers that are showing up,\u201d said Muldrew.<\/p>\n<p>You can do this through journaling, jotting down your feelings in the notes app on your phone, or recording voice memos if you don\u2019t feel like writing, she said.<\/p>\n<p>Ask yourself, \u201cWhat am I doing right now when I start to notice my anxiety peaking? What thoughts are going through my mind? Is there anything specific that I\u2019m experiencing right before onset?\u201d Muldrew suggested.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat this does is it really helps you be able to go back and actually evaluate what\u2019s happening and develop different connections as well as established patterns that actually might be emerging,\u201d\u00a0Muldrew continued.<\/p>\n<p>It can also be helpful to listen to your body, because anxiety often manifests through physical symptoms like rapid heart rate, muscle tension and sweatiness. Muldrew said you can do a body scan in bed in the morning (or wherever you feel calmest and safest) to determine your baseline. Then, do another midday brief body scan to determine if any feelings of anxiety are appearing. That way, you can examine how your environment changed \u2015 for example, are you at work? \u2015 to identify your triggers.<\/p>\n<p>Once you determine what makes you anxious, you can make an effort to limit those things in your life.\u00a0Maybe you decide that scrolling social media makes you anxious, or skipping your daily walk drives up your anxiety, or having that second cup of coffee makes you feel unsettled.<\/p>\n<p>Muldrew also recommends setting designated five or 10-minute \u201cworry breaks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can have five minutes, 10 minutes, to get my worry out, to list out or talk out all the things that are bringing me a little bit of anxiety right now,\u201d Muldrew said. \u201cBut once these 10 minutes expire, I\u2019m leaving that there. I\u2019ve gotten them out, and now I\u2019m entering back into my day knowing that I can only control the controllables and I\u2019m only going to focus on what\u2019s here right now in the present moment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, don\u2019t expect all of your anxiety to disappear after trying out these strategies once or twice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe same way anxiety is something that can be developed over time [and] certain things can exacerbate it, there are certain coping skills that are going to work better for certain moments,\u201d Muldrew said. \u201cAnd so you really have to allow yourself the time to try different things and try them more than once.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Just know that working hard to reduce your anxiety is worth it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy managing your anxiety in the present, you\u2019re not only caring for yourself in this moment, but you are taking care of your future self, you\u2019re improving your quality of life and you\u2019re lowering your risk for longer-term health implications,\u201d Muldrew said.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article originally appeared on<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffpost.com\/entry\/anxiety-dementia-risk_l_66abcc94e4b037c1f37e5b39\" target=\"_blank\" data-skimlinks-tracking=\"7746830\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>HuffPost.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/jillianwilson\/anxiety-dementia-risk\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reading an article about the connection between anxiety and dementia certainly isn\u2019t going to make anyone with anxiety any less, well, anxious.
