Most Effective Remedy

[Laurakish]

I find exercising efficient for me, i hear it helps release endorphins that improve one's mood. Exercising also improves my sleep and reduces anxiety.

I think the remedy I liked the most and thought to be very effective was the authors' proposal of lifestyle changes in reducing stress and anxiety. For instance, what caught my eye was when they (the authors) advised people to let go of toxic people in their life, people who are just always determined to fill one's life with negativity.

I think exercising and a lot of works outs would do for me. They make muscles active and enhances your mental health. In my opinion, it's a great way to relieve anxiety!

Exercising is one of the most effective remedy given by Kinrys. Now that you mentioned enhancing mental health, exercising keeps you active and jovial.

According to my tried methods, I believe Meditation and Exercise are the two most effective stress relievers.

Gustavo recommends trying your best fit. Experimenting these methods is a good decision. Now that you found your two most effective remedies, you should endeavor to use them in fighting stress and anxiety.

Swimming is my favorite antidote for stress. Yoga is a close second.

I’ve found combining your two effective methods to be priceless. You also have a rebound remedy in your list just in case the other is not appropriate at that moment.

Totally agree! I think there might be something about having a ritual that helps. Tea doesn't hit me the same way coffee does, ahaha.

One of the most effective remedies that I can attest to is forming a ritual. Something that you do when you feel low or anxious. Rituals never disappoint.

I love exercise and workouts because they helps me feel relaxed. My whole body becomes actively and I'm able to think straight.

I am of the same mind. The health benefits of regular exercise and physical activity are numerous. As an effective remedy, it also helps you to sleep faster because you get tired. Nevertheless, don't exercise too close to bedtime because you may become too energized to actually sleep.

Yes, running can be a remedy, especially where a gym is not there. Another option is practicing workouts like cardio .

Yes, it should definitely help towards your regular well being if you find something you find comfort in. Music really soothes the mind and calms your nerves. I can listen to m favorite song on repeat all day. An sometimes if you feel down one song can totally change your mood.

If chosen as an effective remedy, the music should be positive and not negatively influential. Music is impactful and hence the type of music the subject listens to should be equally selective.

Depending on how you would treat the matter, it all comes down to mental processing. What I actually stress is the mental outlook towards it. Here, culture, training, attitude, or mindset, among other factors, would play a very significant part. It must be considered that all the stimuli are perpetually present around us. Every minute of life poses a stressful event that we have to overcome, positive or negative. As stress is simply a feeling of emotional tension, every decision we make will either alleviate or aggravate the situation. If this is not off our topic, let me bring out that stress could even be "numbed" by drugs. That does not dispel the assumption that the mind still has the greatest sway in it. Presumably, the drugs alter the reality in the subject's mind or block chemicals that convey stress. Exercise releases some chemicals that also alleviate stress. Practitioners of a certain type of Yoga even espouse sex as one. It is tricky to specify the most effective because it will depend also on the physiological make-up of the individual, as to what method would be suitable under the circumstances.

Indeed, attitude and mindset are the major determinants of which effective method among what Gustavo has given will work.

Chamomile tea, exercise, rest and meditation is good for stress and anxiety

Especially after a tiring and stressful day, chamomile tea may help to improve the quality of your sleep.

[Joseph_ngaruiya]

I have always valued exercising very much. It does more than liftingy moods and keeping me fit. I'm yet to begin meditation, which I believe also helps in improving my mental health.

Exercising is an effective method of reducing or preventing stress and anxiety. Are you trying guided meditation or binaural beats?

[Joseph_ngaruiya]

Herbal teas are my go to for stress or any other mental troubles. Maybe it is because a warm cup of tea is soothing in and of itself but I do believe that the herbs play a vital role in helping the body restore and rejuvinate.

I also enjoy herbal tea, have you tried boiling raw green banana leaves then adding a teaspoon of cinnamon to the strained water? If taken an hour before bed, it's a source of calm sleep.

That sounds so blissful! I will definitely give it a try. My personal favorite herbal blend is dried lavender steeped in water for a couple of minutes. I add a tiny bit of dark chocolate to the mixture just to be a little cheeky. It makes for a wonderful dose of energy in the mornings and helps me take a second and calm down before handling a stressful day.

I haven't tried dried lavender, but I know dark chocolate has its benefits when it comes to mood alteration.

Exercise, especially running, and meditating works the best for me. And I do them both at the same time . There's the mind and body coordination with running and you would also pay attention to the beautiful minor details, such as the cold breeze of the morning and the pounding of your shoes against the road. It's liberating ! hehe

I've never tried running and meditating at the same time. But I've found long runs to be more mind involving than short ones, do you feel the same?

I do And about that running and meditating at the same time, it's baffling but it's true. I think all the time, and by think I mean I'm always reflective. I have the thoughts of an overthinker, but when I run, those thoughts were silent. My body focuses on running and my mind focuses on what really matters. Hehe

I wouldn't call it meditation. But it's true that when running, you can clear your thoughts and think broadly.

[Joseph_ngaruiya]

I have never tried meditation but it's one therapy I would love to try. Normally I write as a way for my therapy.. and that works well for me.

From personal experience, I can attest that journaling is equally effective to other remedies given by Gustavo.
