Hi Andrew, I don’t suffer from much anxiety but used to when I was younger. I recommend you study the art of yoga. I don’t mean a silly exercise class at the YMCA – unless the teacher is great. Yoga is a breathing exercise above all. The postures and stretches are actually secondary. I practice yogic breathing almost 24 hours a day, every day. I prevents anxiety for me.

Hi revellian. It was a good read. But my stress is more anxiety. Its like a much more serious type of stress. Im struggling to beat it, sure your post helped but my stress/anxiety is more serious than that. If you have any anxiety advice, im happy to hear it.

In that case I can see how they'd blame him. The traditional/superstitious viewpoint that's steeped with religion tends to overshadow education, or knowledge based on science. I have relatives that still believe in the evil eye, and some of them still do the rite to eliminate the evil eye when children come down with a temperature lol. It is gnarly, and kids probably receive more stress now as well with everything being in the news, and in the classroom, things about terrorism and the environment. Most recently I had my son stressing out about stuff like that and the only thing I could say to him is that life is too short for him to start stressing at the age of 13.

Same here Todd, I tend to get stressed about silly things. Nowadays, for example; when I watch the news, I just don’t let it affect my health. I’m glad you have your wife to talk to, I’m sure that helps very much!

Hi Nick! I guess blogging cured you huh? When I used to (or tried to) blog for money, I got all stressed out. Now, that I just write what I like…my blog is a stress reliever!

Hi Bobby,

I think the points you raised in the last two paragraphs are the key … learning to love ourselves, and having someone to talk to.

I can remember back to the last year or so of my first marriage. It was by far the most stressful time of my life. Not only did I feel like a horrible failure, but for some reason, I didn’t have any close friends, didn’t really feel comfortable talking to my family about the subject. Keeping my stress in, just made it worse.

My current situation is 180 degrees better.

Of course I still stress. But now, I talk to my wife about it. She usually laughs at me and tells me to stop being silly … which strangely enough is almost always exactly what I need. I don’t know about you, but taken in the larger context, the great majority of the things I stress about really are pretty darn Silly.

Todd
