Progressive muscle relaxation or regular exercise
According to research, physical activities such as jogging can improve your anxiety [1]. Progressive muscle relaxation, which means relaxing and flexing certain groups of muscles in your body, can also help reduce your anxiety. It is important to pay more attention to the feeling of the release.
Other practices, such as yoga have also proven useful in improving anxiety. Some types of yoga involve deep breathing, so they play significant roles in reducing blood pressure [2] and heart rate [3].
Take the Focus off Yourself
You can overcome social anxiety disorder by paying more attention to what is happening around you instead of what you have in your head. To do this, all you have to do is listen to the discussion that is happening and tell yourself that other people don’t know you are anxious. Try to be present in every conversation and be a good listener.
