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?).

The issue of diet was also a very big take away from the book. In recent months, i have been watching how i eat and writing down how i feel everyday with regards to my digestion and gut health, and also mood. I have been able to figure out how food influences my mood and it was a great help with my own anxiety.

Sitting alone with one's thoughts can be frightening at times, as the mind can be quite the torturer. We have to consciously form an effort to go to our safe places or form narrow ideas to cut down on the profuse amount of thoughts we have.

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

[Ada Ling]

I was amazed by so many herbs we can use to relieve the problem. These are plants that can bring you enjoyment at the time can help you with anxiety and stress. I plan to try some out.

[Helene_2008]

I was amazed at the variety of methods listed to help with stress. One lesson I took away was there are so many different options to handling stress that hopefully everyone can find something that fits their needs.

[Anna Dougherty]

I agree that we can't control our surroundings, but we can control how we react to them.

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.

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.

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 can relate. Sometimes your thoughts can drown you. It's then that getting busy is an option. Meditation has been chosen as a good method to eliminate stress and anxiety. For sure, it requires enough practice to master it.

It's hard to buy into the fact that the food you eat has a big impact not only on your health but also on emotional matters. Kinry's lessons on this topic completely changed my attitude towards what is served on my plate.

If you can control your feelings, I find introspection very impactful. Yes, our thoughts can be overwhelming and it's such moments that call to the remedies addressed in this book.

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.

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.
