Lessons to be inferred

[Howlan]

I came to know about the breathing lessons and neck pain after reading the book.

You can decrease stress by using your breath. I’ve discovered that taking a deep breath might help you relax during a stressful moment. I also learned about neck pain from Dr. Gustavo.

Yes, me too. I had been doing breathing practices similar to the "magic bullet" mentioned in this book but I got to the proper way to do that all its effectiveness after reading this book.

Lack of awareness seems to be the root cause of many deseases in society. Isn't funny that people want to feel relaxed when they don't know what they are stressed about? I mean, you cannot relax is this situation! The stressor may be fatal to you, you body won't rest in this scenario.

Self-awareness allows you to live a happy life. It's one of the best lessons to acquire from this book. When you understand your weaknesses and problems, you are in a better position to solve them.

Yes, being aware of your behavior and reaching to the source of your stressful behavior and finding the stressor and eliminating it has been one of the highlights of the boo. Especially the effect this method has on "stress management" and handling our stress and channeling the regular mild stress into something positive.

I had never became aware of neck pain, and stiffness, until a friend said so. He touched my shoulder and said that there was something wrong, and did a massage. Than I realize what a relaxed neck was suppose to feel.

Kinrys begins by showcasing body aches that we pick up as minor or normal in our daily routines. A stiff neck, a simple headache, and many others found in this book teach us that stress and anxiety progress with time.

Yes, I think all the symptoms that the author lays out are pretty well documented. Specially some symptoms like "shaking" and "difficulty swallowing" are some symptoms I never associated with stress before. So, yes, it has been a great learning experience.

Meditation to me is powerful! The ability to control your though is so fundamental to a good living, and few people have a good practice in that (I’m still learning). I met people that ware afraid to close their eyes, because could not deal with the hurricane of his inner life, or didn’t like to sleep, or being alone. Or people that have to be doing something all the time to stop thinking about what he was thinking (anyone can relate to that? Or know someone?).

Yeah when going through a rough phase in life all you want to do is runway from the problem. I can definitely relate to that feeling. It can be hard to come back depending on how big the problem is, but generally, to solve these problems, you need to take it as a step by step approach to this problem. Solve the little things and go on solving the bigger ones.

Indeed, running away from our problems keeps them recurring. Progressive practice of the remedies recommended is the way to go.

I learnt that anxiety isn't something you should be afraid to speak out about and seek help

Yes, definitely. Anxiety and stress build up over time. So, it is not wise to get couped up in your own problems. You should come out about it and talk to people you trust, and it will definitely help you.

The most intelligent thing to do apart from identifying the root cause, is finding your confidant. Whoever you associate to a d address your issues with, can be the reason you fall short or make a leap in your journey.

It's also important not only to find a remedy that works for you, but to do it rightfully following the guidelines as per your capabilities.

From this book, I've learnt three core steps to overcoming stress and anxiety.
1: Identify the stressor
2: Choose a remedy
3: Practice the chosen remedy over time.

Gustavo did an exceptional service to readers. I've been sharing the lessons with my friends. It's been so impactful, I'm glad this book was featured on BOTM.

Yes, it is the first practical guide on handling stress that I have read and provides some good remedies. I real;y liked the table at the end where he sums up things like nutrients based remedies, which makes it easier to implement.

Yes, identify your problems. Keep the remedies regular and think ways to eliminate your stressor. If it does not work go see a professional but do not keep your stress bottled up as it can harm you in the future.

One of the main lessons I picked up on is that there are all sorts of things that influence a person's level of stress. I was previously aware that somebody's work, school, and social activities can impact stress levels, but never even considered other causes. It was super interesting to learn that simply breathing differently (as others have mentioned), and changing your diet can have such an impact!

[sblake26]

I agree with you on my main takeaway from this book. I think that it is so important to remember that we have the ability to control our reactions, even though it can be very difficult to do so.
