Most Effective Remedy

[Chali]

Lots of exercise, especially walking, and meditation. Also counting out loud works for my anxiety which I have found yo be most effective as a quick solution.

Yeah, Chamomile tea is beneficial for stress reduction and relaxation. Moreover, exercise and muscle relaxation are practices that I applied many times on myself.

Exercise is not only good for fighting stress and anxiety but also for fighting other diseases as the cells are oxygenated. Definitely, in my case, mediation is the most effective way to combat anxiety and stress.

I think exercising and meditation works out well for me in averting off anxiety and stress.

Exercise takes first place. It might not be rigorous routine but any physical activity which increases your heart rate even a little, can make body feel active and happy. Inturn this can motivate you to do your exercise or meditation or even breathing exercises.
4-7-8 technique really helps to reduce anxienty attacks while trying to sleep.

Oof for some reason exercising isn't the one for me. I feel so tired after it that i can't really function properly. I think listening to the music has to be the one for me.

I personally find exercise and meditation to be most helpful for me. I can exercise in the evenings to unwind, and I can do a short meditation cycle at work if I am feeling especially overwhelmed.

Meditation and exercise both work for me to relieve me of day to day stress.

Having found what works for you, I believe Kinrys has advised you should use it to deal with stressful or anxious moments.

The author has given a lot of practical examples. I believe if you'd combine two of them, the results would be relatively more effective.

You might not be doing meditation wrongly. Remember, even though Gustavo has explained the benefit of each exercise, you'll find some don't work for you.

This book has changed people's lives, I'm glad it featured on BOTM. Cycling combines almost three remedies found in the book, bonding with nature, exercising, and breathing techniques.

The remedy you chose is also beneficial to your health. I concur with your statement. Exercise builds immunity. This also means we are less prone to the stress that's attributed to emerging ailments.

Neem tea is also good for recovery, massage after a strenuous exercise can be used to relax the muscles and the brain.

Sure I'll try it out. Practical examples are always useful. Especially during this pandemic, when one can't go out for therapy sessions.
