Before long, anxiety rears its wide-eyed head. Your heart starts racing and your mind trips over its shoelaces. If you were frazzled before, now you're barely breathing. We all get stressed, but when these isolated incidents turn into a state of turmoil, it can disrupt multiple areas of our lives. Chronic anxiety depletes the body, explains Henry Emmons, MD, author of The Chemistry of Calm. Digestion goes askew, sleep becomes less restorative, and the mind gets easily distracted and fatigued. Yet just as the body knows how to rev up to protect us from danger, it also knows [how to calm down]( — and we can help it do this more effectively. Techniques like meditation, yoga, and breathwork can combine to create and sustain a tranquil mind. "Training yourself in times of nonstress becomes increasingly important," Emmon says, "because you build up those practices for accessing calm quickly." Even years of meditation or yoga practice, however, aren't always enough to handle the challenges of the modern world. When anxiety shows up, these 24 simple techniques will help you catch your breath and calm your mind.  [Download Now](  PS: If you would like more tips from Experience Life, feel free to visit our [website]( [sign up]( for any of our newsletters, or [subscribe]( to our print magazine.  You are receiving this email as part of your free subscription to email updates from Food Gardening Network.
