Forever Young Naturally Lifestyle

41. Beating anxiety
Aging means change, whether as a result of emotional loss, physical ailments, or mental decline. And for most of us, change brings anxiety. A Dutch study found that anxiety goes hand in hand with depression as we grow older, with women at greater risk than men. Since anxiety can be a risk factor in many diseases, it pays to conquer it by adopting any natural approaches that work for you.
Burn essential oils with aromas that calm the mind and restore the spirit.
Use candle meditation to see the flame of life burning bright within.

45. Beating anxiety Knead putty
Buy yourself a few pots of silly putty—choose an outrageous color. When you feel angry or can't get a grip on an issue, knead out your tension or throw the putty against a wall. When you can't stand it any more, throw the putty in the garbage can.

Camomile has a sedative, musclerelaxant effect and works on the same part of the brain as antianxiety drugs. Steep tea bags for at least 7 minutes, or use two bags per cup.
50. Beating anxiety Connecting with the breath
When you feel flustered or restless, close your eyes and be aware of the flow of breath in and out. Feel it cool on your upper lip and warm in your nostrils. This calm space for retreat is always there, waiting for you to drop into it.
