Lesson Overview

6.28 – How Caffeine and Substances Affect Anxiety: Caffeine, alcohol, and other substances can quietly make anxiety worse. Caffeine speeds up your heartbeat and can mimic the feeling of panic. Alcohol may seem calming at first but often increases anxiety once it wears off. Nicotine and other stimulants also keep your nervous system in alert mode. Learning how these things affect your mood gives you power to choose better for yourself. Cutting back doesn’t have to mean quitting completely—it’s about noticing what makes you feel balanced. Replacing these with calming teas, water, or deep breathing helps your body relax naturally. Awareness turns habits into mindful choices. When you treat your system gently, anxiety loses its edge and recovery feels easier.
