Many people have trouble coping with anxiety every day. Life can be very demanding with so many home, work, and relationship responsibilities. It's so easy to get caught up in one aspect of life and neglect the others. Life gets out of balance and we're running to catch up. But it doesn't have to be that way. Here are three tips for anyone who needs help coping with anxiety.

Take time out every day for you. No matter how much you have to do every day, it is essential that you take some time every day, even if it's just fifteen minutes, for yourself. You aren't being lazy or selfish; you're taking care of you. And you have to take care of you before you take care of anything or anyone else. Remember those airline instructions? Put your oxygen mask on first before you help others put theirs on. You are no good to anyone if you run out of air. So get up a little bit earlier to drink coffee by yourself, take a short walk during your lunch break, or take a warm bath before bed. You'll feel more relaxed and ready to face your responsibilities.

Find the humor in life. Laughter really is the best medicine. It lowers the level of stress producing hormones and makes you feel good. Wherever you can, look for humor on your everyday life, let go, and laugh.

Just say no. You are as important as anyone else, and so is your time. When people ask you to do things you just don't have time for, you owe it to yourself to say no. Stop worrying about what other people think. How you feel is much more important. Practice in the mirror if you have to, but learn to say no to time-consuming activities that will spread you too thin.

Try hypnosis for coping with anxiety.
