People can become jittery for various reasons. Some common reasons
include anxiety, chronic worry or too much caffeine. No matter what the
reason, feeling jittery is usually an unpleasant experience that taxes
the mind and body. Fortunately, it's possible to deal with being jittery
when implementing a few techniques and exercises. Following five
guidelines should help most people get over the jitters and obtain a
better quality of life.
Instructions:
1. Take a few deep breaths when you start feeling stressed and jittery.
Breathe in slowly through your nose and then let the air out through
your mouth. Performing three to five of these deep breaths should help
to calm your nervous system and alleviate the jitters.
2. Exercise on a routine basis. Many times feeling jittery is
the result of restless energy that the mind and body accumulate.
Fortunately, exercising three or four times a week can expel the
majority of that energy and improve your physical and mental health. For
most people, a 30-minute exercise session each time is ideal. Some
ideas include jogging, hiking and weight lifting.
3. Avoid substances that induce jitteriness. This means staying
away from anything with significant amounts of caffeine in it. Soda and
energy drinks are notoriously bad for being filled with caffeine and
should be avoided. Also abstaining or reducing alcohol consumption is
also beneficial because it can upset the nervous system.
4. Spend some time alone each day to relax. Try to devote at
least 30 minutes of every day to just sit back and contemplate the day.
Doing so will allow your mind and body to take a break and just rest. As
a result, the jitters and overall anxiety level should be reduced.
5. Practice meditation in order to clear your mind and reduce
jittery feelings. This can be done by sitting down in a quiet place,
closing your eyes and focusing on your breathing. As you concentrate
only on your breathing, your mind will become still and anxious thoughts
should dissipate.
Tips & Warnings:
If you suffer from chronic anxiety, it's usually best to consult a mental health specialist.
