  <div class="message">This was a hard lesson for me to learn, but one of the most important. There I was, laying on my couch racked with anxiety, contemplating if I even had the strength to live through this. I could not forgive myself for my past and I had terrible anxiety about the future. All of the subconscious demons that had hidden from sight for so long, were now at my doorstep. If I projected my thoughts, even a few minutes into the future or past I experienced deep mental anguish in real time. Then I noticed gradually…<span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/5809153/now-is-the-only-time-that-exists">Read more</a></span></div>

<div class="post">
  <div class="message">Sometime during my anxiety I realized slowly, piece by piece, that much of my anxiety was caused by focusing on things that were not me as though they were me...or that they at least represented me. I later saw that I had given power to so many things that I had no control over..things like whether a particular venture was successful in my eyes...or how I thought another person viewed me. Of course once I realized this it seemed completely ridiculous, and yet as a society we are all trained to do this all…<span class="read-more pdf__hide"><a href="/blog/blog/5809154/anxiety-identifying-with-things-other-than-me">Read more</a></span></div>

  <div class="message">You may have heard of music therapy which has become more well known in the last few decades. Music therapy is now used as a common approach in mainstream hospitals and health centers throughout the world. Music therapy is used most commonly by employing musical melodies, well known songs or group musical activities to positively affect the cognitive or psychological states of the patient.<br><br>Sound therapy is like music therapy's cousin.

  <div class="message">Yes, relaxation takes practice. Maybe not as much practice as learning to play guitar or surf, but it still takes practice. I used to think relaxing was just sitting on the couch and watching TV or surfing the internet. While that's not bad, it's not really the best way to relax. When truly relaxing it's important to give the brain (and body) a chance to find another gear.&nbsp;<br><br>Thinking of our brainwave states or states of being as "gears" is one way to look at relaxation.

Not only was I not feeling anxious, but I started to feel joyous, blissful ...happy from the inside out. &nbsp;This was a process for me and the pendulum seemed to swing back and forth at times sometime blissful and then later depressed or stressed out. Was I becoming manic depressive I wondered? Gradually, over the next few weeks the pendulum of emotions started to stay more firmly in the "blissful" category.

  <div class="message">Ok, this may sound too easy, but I found that drinking more water and making sure I'm well hydrated really helps with reducing stress and just feeling good in general. I have seen this idea echoed in a lot of different places. Now that I am aware of it, I have noticed that even being a little dehydrated can affect me in terms of feeling stressed. It can take quite a while for the body to re-hydrate fully.
