Exercise or yoga: Both exercise and yoga have been proven in trials to reduce symptoms of anxiety. They also have several health benefits outside of mood that make them a "no-brainer" for anyone interested in maximizing their performance. Also, as little as ten minutes twice a day can be beneficial. Mindfulness-based meditation is also a proven, drug-free alternative for treatment of anxiety.

Anxiety: Talking therapy ranks really high. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be quite effective. Aim for daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep per night & good nutrition with 5 servings of veggies & 4 of fruit per day. Try tai chi, yoga, qi gong, progressive muscle relaxation, deep breathing exercises & meditation. Don't isolate - spend time with friends and stay active.
