I'm sorry that exercising makes you sad. You can try some other methods recommended by Gustavo. Find what works for you and use it to replace the exercising routine.

Wow, I like the way you understand yourself and which remedy to use. Decluttering is something I've also tried, and it works for me too. This book has made it easier to choose from the different options submitted.

Exercising as a remedy is a quick fix for the majority. I fully concur with what you said about getting tired and retiring after a long day. There are days I find myself dozing off after a tiresome day that had a workout routine in between. I would recommend exercising above all other remedies. But this shouldn't discourage anyone from trying other remedies recommended in the book.

The principle that resonated the most with me was physical exercise. Over the years, I find that going for a run, or a long stroll helps me clear my mind and deal with my anxiety more than any other form of therapy. So you can imagine my distress when my anxiety came from bodily pain that prevented me from moving around.

Exercise is always a great idea. I love how it connects the body with the mind. We become calmer, more aware of the surrounding world and we get a better understanding of ourselves.

Therapy therapy therapy, personally for me I would say that frequent exercising cojoined with good dieting should be an ideal therapy for anyone.
Nevertheless, these exercises should be more of cardios, using the threadmill frequently especially in the morning when the body needs some heating up.

Thinking out of the box, light weight gyming is a plus for anyone.They are requisite to kill depression, stress and anxiety of any sort.

Exercise always works for me. I think it's something about putting all my focus into one activity. It shuts off a lot of the "background noise" and anxiety, so I don't have to think about it for a little bit.

aromatherapy works wonders for me. most of the mild natural essential oils when added to diffusers help relax the anxiety.

There is no help that can be done to the body than daily exercise and good food supplements.

No one had mentioned complaining to someone else. Sometimes just venting is curative. As is the act of reaching out to someone else and 'getting out of my own head' for a while. A good friend once told me, "Don't let them rent space in your head for free." If someone or something is really bothering me, I try to unload it somewhere else. No complaining endlessly, you understand, just to verbalize and validate the stressors before abandoning the thoughts.

Yes, the book has many nice ways to leave you stress-free. It just needs to be what is on your comfort zone. Whatever you feel doing at the nd of a long day that calms your nerves and helps you ease your mind.

Yes they can totally keep your mind off stress-related problems and help you concentrate.

Exercise is definitely a favourite method for many people. It has enormous health benefits and keeps you fit and active!

Like the overwhelming majority of people, exercise is paramount for me. it's the part of having increasing control over your own body that does it for me. Contrary to many, though, I don't get any benefit from meditation. Maybe I'm not doing it correctly, or maybe I haven't found exercises that I resonate with. But it just doesn't do it for me.
