The journey of self-knowledge may take time, but it is essential to learn to accept yourself with all your flaws and qualities. Understanding that mistakes are normal and part of growth is fundamental.
Sleep quality plays a significant role in anxiety. Inadequate sleep can amplify this condition, as the nervous system needs rest to function properly.
Avoid stimulants before bed, such as caffeine, nicotine and alcohol. Letting go of worries and agitation is also essential for a peaceful night's sleep.
