Here are 10 to watch out for:
1️⃣ Skipping meals: Fuel your body and mind with regular, balanced meals. Skipping meals can lead to blood sugar drops, worsening anxiety. 🍽️⏰

5️⃣ Social media 24×7: Limit screen time and be mindful of how social media affects your emotions. Constant exposure can fuel anxiety. 📱⏰
6️⃣ Not moving your body: Engage in regular physical activity to release tension and boost endorphins. Exercise is a powerful anxiety-reducer. 💪🏋️♀️
7️⃣ Not getting enough sleep: Prioritize quality sleep for a rested mind. Lack of sleep can heighten anxiety levels. 😴🌙
8️⃣ Googling symptoms: Avoid excessive self-diagnosis online. It can lead to unnecessary worry and escalate anxiety. Consult a healthcare professional instead. 🚫🔎
9️⃣ Eating too much sugar: Reduce sugar intake as it can cause energy crashes and affect mood stability. Opt for healthier alternatives. 🍰🍬
