Daily Habits to Reduce Stress and Anxiety

Sometimes when the stress is too much to handle, I write story. I make up fictional characters, dump my problem on one of them and let there be a mentor who tries to resolve the issue. Yes it sounds crazy but it does help.

“Never be anxious about the next day, for the next day will have its own anxieties.”

I was really struggling today, chronic anxiety. Dont wanna lie down or sit up, just constant psychological pain. I went into town on the bus and walked around a bit interacting with people in shops mainly, it made me feel better. Isolation can drive us mad.

PRAYER! PRAYER! PRAYER! So terrific to hear Talking with God in 2023!

I just moved into another country 8000 miles away from home. My anxiety was killing me, I have taken appointments with a therapist and a psychiatrist. However, I am trying to actively manage myself during the rest of the week. And when I find that I have already taken some of the steps you told even before watching this video, it makes me happy that I am on the right path. Your videos are saving my life and I pray that God rewards you better in return.

I also put things on my list AFTER completing them just so I can mark them off. Satisfying!

My tip for sleeping is to start thinking of my Happy Place. I start daydreaming of camping in the woods. Before I know it, my day dream relaxes me so much I fall asleep real fast.

Thank you - these tips are life-changing! I swear if another doctor tells me to drink a warm glass of milk for my crippling anxiety, I am growing a corn crop.

My mom used to read me the little house on the prairie stories. I adored them growing up and still do. You’re such a lovely person, I’m so grateful for your informative, scientific, and compassionate videos; they’ve been so incredibly helpful for my trauma healing and anxiety.

Love Therapy in a Nutshell. You’re so calming, and natural. Just started watching. . Lots of videos for me to catch up on. Dealing with anxiety and depression plus a chronic illness in my late 60’s, sometimes feel hopeless. Thanks for the uplifting and positive videos, which gives me a ray of hope 🌟

Love that you spend time in scripture.

I rarely write comments here on youtube, but I must say that after watching this one and some of your other videos, I feel like I finally understand what was going on with me for all these years. This might just be the breaking point and I could not be more excited. Everything comes in together like a puzzle. I hope I am on my way of finding (or reclaiming) my inner peace soon and I am so thankful for your hard work! ❤️

I have always suffered from anxiety my whole life, looking back on childhood as well, especially during my adult life. I have found that since owning a dog that has alleviated some of my anxieties. She is just the cutest being to come home to and wake up to. I think she just keeps me in the present and makes me use all my senses. Life is definitely better with a dog or any pet I would think.
