Most Effective Remedy

Post by Howlan »

Among all the numerous therapies mentioned in this book, which remedy do you find the most effective?

Personally, for me, I feel that exercise especially running helps a lot to reduce anxiety and stress.

Of all the various supplements I've tried throughout the years, I've found that Chamomile tea and Ashwagandha are the most effective at reducing anxiety, at least for me. Exercise and progressive muscle relaxation are also helpful, albeit more so in the long run.

Excercising and working out seems to work for me as well. Never keep the muscles tensed is the motto.

I can understand why exercise would feature as one of the natural therapies/remedies for anxiety and stress. I also like that meditation rates a mention: taking time just to 'centre' oneself for a short period lowers the heart rate and brings blood pressure down.

Definitely working out is paramount for my mental health; I also find decluttering and mediation to be helpful.

For me, meditating and exercising seem to be the most effective methods. But I take traditional medications prescribed by a doctor to help with my anxiety too.

Most of my friends use meditation to easen stress. Personally, I use meditation to prevent it rather than eliminate stress.

Exercising works for me. In most cases, I find my body responding quicker to high-intensity workouts compared to simple exercises like walking.

I like exercise! Especially with buddies! Since it is hot all day I like to exercise indoors in the summertime. Because gyms are closed in my area I've been doing Yoga with Adriene on YouTube and I think she's great!

Yes, that true. For me running feels liberating.

I like to go on long walks while listening to music. It makes everything calm. Enjoying silence also calms me down. So these are a few therapies.

Yeah, Meditation especially breathing exercise helps increase concentration and clears the mind. It is a great and effective way to release stress.

Exercise is good, a little sweating will help you relax. And when you focus on something else, your worry will be lessened or temporarily forgotten. As for me, I will do what I like the most when I'm anxious. Singing my favourite song in my mind, thinking about my beloved ones, reading a funny story, eating something sweet, etc., anything that will distract my attention from the source of the stress.
