The Science Of Finding Calm And Managing Stress
Added 2020-03-20 22:17:32 +0000 UTCCheck out these books - Why Zebras Don't Get Ulcers by Robert Sapolsky and I Want To Be Calm by Harriet Griffey. Also I recommend listening to the recordings of Alan Watts and reading the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy by Douglas Adams. Drink tea, and carry on!

2020-03-21 17:17:41 +0000 UTCThank you Fran, perfect timing as I was in bed and just watching youtube which usually causes me to fall asleep like reading a book, but I found my heart was pounding and realised it was stress and anxiety. Yesterday in the UK our gyms have closed and that actually affected me more than anything else so far in terms of restrictions. I tend to find exercise and a gym session is enough to put my mind at ease about most things that come along to trouble us in life, from a stressful day at work all the way to bereavement, and that stress relief has never been needed more than now. I think in almost 30 years the most time I’ve not been to a gym is 2 weeks (when on holiday), so I do feel my health and mental health is going to suffer, and I’m probably not alone there. Luckily, I live where I can cycle and will take up jogging around the park whilst that is still allowed. Some deaths from this thing may be avoided by these measures, however there will be many more ‘hidden’ deaths not from this virus, but from stress and anxiety it will cause now and in the aftermath of the financial implications for years or even decades to come. The big irony is, when this is all over, it is unlikely no lives will have been saved overall https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-51979654. Stay well and positive Fran and everyone else.
