Poll of the Day > Are there really relaxation techniques to lower stress?

(+) Yeah! (+)

I have a problem with stress and my blood pressure goes bonkers.

Unfortunately, visualizing I'm on a beach doesn't work that well.

Weed and zoloft help me

Theanine is a good supplement but it loses effectiveness if you take it every day. It's the thing in green tea that relaxes you. I take it on especially bad days.

Exercise and sunshine are always good for that too. I lift most days and I always feel better after.

there are plenty

Breathing and focusing on that. Smoking weed helps. Also, I've heard counting really fast in your head helps

I am on medication for anxiety.

I've been hearing that Emotional Freedom Technique works.

I use to pop them L thenanine all the time. Now im on buspar. I lift twice a week and usually try to get 7k steps in on the day but i still struggle with anxiety/chest pain

sensory deprivation

Sleep nude in an oxygen tent. It will also give you sexual powers.

Yeah. Avoid any media of any kind.

Mindfulness works for me. Also try a shower or a nice bath with muscle relaxant in it.

Meditation works for me occasionally.

just breathe slowly, in thru nose, out thru mouth
