I have struggled with anxiety all my life. This isn’t necessarily the kind that makes one stressed out or have anxiety attacks. Often it’s just an underlying feeling of anxiousness. My mind races all day and is usually two steps ahead of whatever it is I’m doing. My place is a mess usually because I seldom stop and take the time necessary to clean, or fold a shirt, etc. I’m racing through such small exercises as if it’s an overwhelming chore. On the rare moments when I feel calm and not anxious, I clean. This is only one example. Other anxieties are of a more serious nature. They can involve worrying, minor social anxieties, insomnia due to a racing mind, etc.
Firstly, I would ask please that nobody offer any simplistic answers, like "give it to God", etc. I do pray, and, while I left the Christian faith of my youth, I have much peace in my belief in a higher power. This is a psychological and/or physiological issue, not a spiritual one. I seem to worry more about the little things.
Also, please do not ask me to see a doctor. Done that, and will continue to consult them for holistic help. I have chosen to avoid pharmaceutical medicine for this. I have decided that the side effects outweigh the benefits. And, since I’ve seldom had any benefits from them, I’ll just stay away.
Yoga, meditation? I have decided to try these age-old things a sincere try, though I have always been a skeptic. I’ve tried before, but have never really been all that committed to them. This leads me to my point. Has anyone who shares my proclivity to stress and anxiety had much luck with Yoga or meditation? Any tips? Types? Can it REALLY bring me that feeling of calm that can help improve my quality of life, friendships, business skills? Thank you for your generosity in trying to help.
