It can save us from having to think seriously about one thing. So enjoy it instead of stopping the distraction.
9- Take the scent
Anxiety often occurs to the extent that people's heart rate and blood pressure rise. It becomes difficult to sit still and focus on work. This is called an anxiety attack in the medical term. According to experts, we can smell during an anxiety attack. This reduces fluctuations in the brain and seems to have less effect on anxiety.
10- Accept the current situation
The biggest cause of anxiety is rejection of situations. We run away from it instead of facing the opposite situation. So our body and brain cannot adapt themselves to that situation and we start to get anxious. Conversely if we begin to accept situations we learn to live with them. And hopes remain. So learn to accept the current situation to avoid anxiety in the opposite situation.
