I agree. And as taught by Gustavo, By controlling your thoughts, you can reflect on your current stressors and ultimately find a solution.himawari333 wrote: ↑25 Aug 2020, 02:16 I've found that activities that engage your tactile sense is often a good way to cope with anxiety, especially if you're in the middle of an anxiety attack. Whether it be getting your hands dirty through gardening and making things out of clay, or through simple things like petting your dog's fur, washing the dishes, or running your hands and fingers through fabric with a texture you like. The point is to focus on the activity at hand rather than letting your thoughts spiral out of control.

Lo-fi beats work for me. They can be used while working and even meditating.shirleym89 wrote: ↑25 Aug 2020, 06:08 Listening to calm music is a method that I believe works very well. I wish that it had been mentioned in the book.

I was surprised my go-to stress reliever was not only included, but it had a name (mоving mеditаtiоn). I lace up my walking shoes and head outside whenever I need stress relief. I was also amazed and the breadth of methods the book covered.

As you mention this simple remedy to stay hydrated and less stressed out, I would add that at times the remedy is quite simple but we remain ignorant unless someone points out. So, when in need its best to reach out to friends or family or to books like this.Howlan wrote: ↑31 Aug 2020, 12:12Yes, and not to mention the sheer amount of remedies mentioned in this book makes it a good start for anyone. And the simplicity of these remedies makes anyone easily practice these tasks. For example, keeping yourself hydrated is an natural remedy that can be practised by anyone any day.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑31 Aug 2020, 10:06True, you should align yourself with a remedy that suits you. Trying out the different remedies given by Gustavo is a good start in finding out what is workable.AbhyarnaAman wrote: ↑30 Aug 2020, 02:10 when so many methods of anxiety reduction are mentioned in the book, it is up to a stressed-out individual to find out the best-suited method for him/her, which may be easily accessible.

I agree 100 percent. Different things work for different people.anoushka_thakur wrote: ↑01 Aug 2020, 23:09 I think each person has their own way of dealing with anxiety and stress. All these methods may not be discussed in the book. I believe the practice remains in the hand of the person going through stress and anxiety. Whatever suits them curb anxiety can be a remidy for them.

I also use essential oils. Lavender and chamomile are both know for their calming effects. Whether in a tea, diffused into the air or rubbed directly into the skin, I find them very helpful in stress relief.
