Getting at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise 5 days a week helps keep your mood high by releasing endorphins. As an added bonus, your overall health will improve with regular exercise. While there isn't much evidence that following a certain diet helps your anxiety, eating at regular times definitely does. This prevents your blood sugar from crashing and depressing your mood. Lack of sleep makes your anxiety and overall mood worse. Do your best to relax at night and stay in bed for a full 8 hours for the best results. Deep breathing and meditation help cut down on your daily stress and reduce your anxiety. Stopping and counting to 10 if you're feeling overwhelmed is a good way to maintain your composure. Both of these can increase your heart rate, which increases your anxiety and can even trigger a panic attack. The other risk of alcohol is that you can develop a dependence on it if you always drink to make yourself feel better. It's best to use other methods to calm yourself down.

summary: Exercise regularly to improve your mood and health. Eat well-balanced meals at regular times. Get 7-8 hours of sleep every night. Practice relaxation techniques to calm yourself down. Limit your caffeine and alcohol intake.

Making the big life changes necessary to start a new life takes work, dedication, and patience. It can be stressful and intimidating. Make sure that you check in with yourself frequently. How are you feeling? What behaviors are you enacting? Are you worried about anything? Keeping a reflective journal can help you understand your emotions and determine whether there are areas in which you need more support or development. It's not uncommon for huge changes to trigger feelings of depression. If you frequently feel sad, empty, worthless, or hopeless, have experienced a loss of pleasure in things you used to enjoy, have seen changes in your weight or sleep habits, frequently feel anxious or guilty, or are considering harming yourself, seek help. Call your doctor or a mental health professional. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or plans, call emergency services or the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK. Learning to adapt to roadblocks and challenges will be necessary as you live your new life. Starting a new career doesn't mean you'll never feel unappreciated or uninspired again. Moving to a new city doesn't mean you'll never miss home. When you encounter challenges, recognize them as such and do what you need to adapt. You may encounter roadblocks on your journey to your new life. For example, perhaps you wanted to join the Green Berets to fulfill your core values of service and honor, but found out you're too old to enlist. You could view this as a failure and the destruction of your dreams, or you could go back to the drawing board and determine whether there are other things you can do that will also allow you to express those core values. Even if you don't think anything is "wrong," it could be helpful to see a counselor or therapist when you're considering starting a new life. You'll be making some major life changes, and stress pretty much always accompanies decisions like this. A therapist will give you a safe "sounding board" to explore your hopes and fears as you make these changes. Your counselor/therapist can also help you learn helpful ways of thinking and reacting to challenges. Many people believe that people with only "everyday" issues wouldn't benefit from therapy, or that it's only for people with "serious" problems. The truth is, going to a therapist can be a lot like seeing your dentist for a cleaning: You're dealing with little build-ups of minor problems before they become disastrous. Some people believe that seeing a therapist is a sign of weakness or that you're "broken," but this couldn't be further from the truth. Seeing a therapist is a sign that you care about yourself enough to get help when it's useful, and that's a good thing.

summary: Check in with yourself. Make changes along the way. Consider counseling.
