Top 7 Calming & Stress-Relieving Hobbies To Help Combat Anxiety

Have you ever lived with something so long that you begin to think it’s normal?

Then you get a clue and you’re like wait I’m not meant to live like this!

I had that realization this week about anxiety.

Although I’ve overcome depression completely and given anxiety more than a few punches, I still am not completely free and I’m guessing you’re not either.

I guess I thought hey as long as my anxiety isn’t paralyzing like it was before then it’s ok to have some anxiety.

But why though?

The goal should be to beat anxiety in the face and win the fight, not settle for being less anxious.

So in today’s post, I’m going to talk about some stress-reducing hobbies and tips to start beating stress for good.

These are some of the ways that I’ve used to help me at least get a strong grip on anxiety.

But first I’m going to tell you HOW to use these tips because that’s equally as important.

3 amazing benefits of online therapy vs traditional therapy 

Online therapy is a tool that I give major credit to in my mental health journey. 

I promise you, I would not be writing this blog post without having done online counseling many years ago.
