Me neither, it is really interesting knowing that there are so many more symptoms of anxiety that are not common or not so talked about. I remember that before dealing with my anxiety issues I always felt neck pain and this bother me to such a point that it put me in such a bad mood.

I've also never really comprehended how linked our gut is to our brain, and how much the food we eat affects how we are able to function. I never even thought about how an increased intake of sugar could eventually lead to glucose deprivation in the brain and thus cause anxiety.

Same here for me! It is not what happens to you that matters. It is what you do with it. One should focus on the controllable over what you have no power to change.

I can't agree with you more. If we are to percieve things in a positive light, chances are we are mostly stress-free.

I also found it fascinating to study how food interacts with our bodies. I guess this is part of the reason I enjoyed reading this book.

Gustavo had the right timing for each topic and quote. I like this one too. It means that we all go through pain sometimes. But what we allow the pain o do to us might result in suffering.

This is a core lesson I also learned, taking full responsibility, and owning up your challenges is part of solving them.

I did. The book just reinforced the idea. I've had times in my life where I had to cancel on clients because I just couldn't move around or get anything done. Physical pain is a real source of anxiety.

Am now well informed on the benefit of eating well-balanced food instead of junk.

The eating habits, and herbal supplements are going on my bookshelf right next to Medellson's Vitamin Bible. I learned a lot from how the body processes certain chemicals that result in stress.
