Yoga and meditation are common and simple relaxation techniques that you don't have to do for very long to achieve some really impressive results.

Journaling is another great way to write down what you may be feeling (and it's popular among people that dont have GAD because they may have a lot of drama in their lives). It can help to see your feelings on paper to help figure out what you are feeling and why that is the case. This can also be called writing in a diary.

One  way to change your self-esteem is to actually examine the levels of love and hate you experience. 

While we tend to focus on the negative, such as people who are rude to us or avoid us, we usually have more people that care for us that we easily overlook. 

Healthy eating is also a part of reducing anxiety such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains and fish. 

Talking your worries out and building a strong support system of a few trustworthy friends can also help. 

Something to avoid if you have an anxiety disorder is alcohol and recreational drugs such as tea, coffee, chocolate and soft drinks.

If the anxiety is especially severe it can cause them not to be able to even do the simplest day to day activities.

 Generalised Anxiety Disorder can also affect people's social health because the anxiety is very hard on their lives, causing problems in social relationships. 

Furthermore, anxiety is linked to marital distress and a decrease in relationship satisfaction. Fear can also make it hard to spend time in social relationships, and to continue or deepen connections with others. 

Although people with Generalised Anxiety Disorder may act a bit differently because they need active and ongoing care, most patients are able to live a normal life although they will express themselves in a way where they look paranoid and tense and worry excessively and they will not be able to be as romantic and have deep relationships.
