Gentle ways to naturally support anxiety

Anxiety isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s a quiet hum beneath the surface — a sense of unease, a tightness in the chest or trouble falling asleep when you're exhausted. As a nutritionist, I often work with clients who feel “off” but can't quite explain why.The good news is that there are natural, evidence-backed ways to gently bring your body and mind back into balance. If you're feeling overwhelmed, try incorporating some of these strategies into your daily routine.

1. Prioritise restorative sleep

Sleep and anxiety have a chicken-and-egg relationship. One often disrupts the other. Creating a wind-down routine is key. Switch off devices an hour before bed, dim the lights and consider calming rituals like herbal teas or journaling.

2. Practise grounding techniques

Grounding is about bringing yourself back into the present moment. When anxious thoughts swirl, simple practices like deep belly breathing, holding a warm cup of tea or placing your feet firmly on the floor can help calm the nervous system.

Even a few minutes a day of mindful breathing can significantly reduce feelings of stress and anxiety over time.
