the	cold	sensation,	and	reduce	your	anxiety.
Caffeine:
	
It’s	astounding	how	many	people	who	struggle	with	anxiety	also
drink	a	lot	of	caffeinated	beverages.	
Make
	
no	mistake:	Caffeine	increases
anxiety.	Decreasing	or	eliminating	caffeine	and	other	stimulants	from	your
diet	will	immediately	lessen	the	intensity	of	your	anxiety.	Consider	removing
all	caffeine	from	your	diet,	and	if	that’s	too	hard,	halve	it	and	work	down
from	there.
Nicotine	and	alcohol:
	
Both	nicotine	and	alcohol	have	short-term	rewarding
effects	on	the	brain	but	increase	anxiety	in	the	long	term.	If	you	drink	or
smoke	regularly,	take	a	break	and	see	how	you	feel.	For	some	people	this
change	alone	cures	their	anxiety	overload.
Nutrients:
	
If	you	have	any	vitamin	deficiencies	(check	with	your	physician),
you	may	benefit	from	taking	specific	supplements,	such	as	vitamin	D	or	a
daily	multivitamin.
