If I remember correctly it is not mentioned in this book.
Any anxiety-reducing methods not mentioned in the book?

In many cases, walking requires no special equipment. It boosts your mood and also burns calories, which makes you healthier. A healthier person is relatively able to handle stress and anxiety.MajestyBooky wrote: ↑28 Aug 2020, 13:11 Listening to calm music usually reduces stress and anxiety for me.
Another thing is taking long walks where I think things have worked for me.

True, 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.

Do such potions pose a health risk?Saint Bruno wrote: ↑30 Aug 2020, 04:58 Of course yes! There's no way this book could have covers all the methods that can be used to alleviate stress and anxiety. For example, there is potion in my village that is used to calm the nerves and relieve anxiety. Though questionable, it is believed to be effective for over a century among locals.

In the midst of stress and uncertainty, your focus matters. The majority of the lessons in Gustavo's book involve switching focus to less stressful moments or stress relievers.moowshiri wrote: ↑30 Aug 2020, 16:35I can't agree more.

And Walking is a critical exercise that is practicable anywhere in the world that you reside in. It doesn't have to be in third world countries or first world countries, every place can provide you with a place where you can walk. It is an effective remedy that regardless of culture, you can easily practice.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑31 Aug 2020, 09:59In many cases, walking requires no special equipment.

Yes, 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.

Since I suppose it is workable and I suppose it has been in use in for generations it should not pose any health problems particularly considering that it is still popular.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑31 Aug 2020, 10:09Do such potions pose a health risk?Saint Bruno wrote: ↑30 Aug 2020, 04:58 Of course yes!

Yes, another thing the author mentioned is how you can use that stress you are feeling and use it to your advantage to gain a positive experience like gaining motivation for a job or simply trying your best towards a goal.Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑31 Aug 2020, 10:16In the midst of stress and uncertainty, your focus matters.

Yes, I feel that these activities are not only relaxing but also is a form of exercise that keeps your body fit and healthy. Interacting with nature is calming and also helps you keep you energetic. Trekking for example is a good form of "earthing".Joseph_ngaruiya wrote: ↑31 Aug 2020, 09:55Your examples are relatively practical. I find walking on a sandy beach or grassy area to be also relaxing.

Yes, that is true. It is one of its setbacks.

Coloring goes beyond being a fun activity for relaxation. It requires the two hemispheres of the brain to communicate. While logic helps us stay inside the lines, choosing colors generates a creative thought process.

Since having a pet makes you happy, it can be a perfect solution for managing stress and anxiety. It also ensures that you are not lonely, which is beneficial to avoid overthinking.victoriasimons wrote: ↑23 Aug 2020, 15:25I couldn't agree more. I'm surprised that animal therapy wasn't mentioned. I jokingly refer to my cat as my 'Emotional Support Pet' because I couldn't live without her. Her attention is comforting and makes my troubles seem trivial.cluthrie wrote: ↑01 Aug 2020, 20:03 Personally I like animal therapy. Animals are so calming to be around. I know horse therapy can be effective for a lot of people. Alas, I don't have a horse, but I do have a cat.
Petting a cat is so relaxing, especially when you have one curled up and purring in your lap.
