What helps if I feel Overwhelmed, Anxious or Stressed

If you lack energy or feel like you're having a bad day or are anxious:

TECHNIQUE 1

jump in a hot shower (which is easy)

and make it hot enough that eventually you get too hot, at a normal warm temperature this happens for me after 15 mins or so, at this point - when you might normally get out - put the shower to its max cold setting (which usually means you need to put the shower of the lowest power possible as well (idk why but its true)) and then try and stay in the shower for at least a minute - this is easiest if you keep your head under the water whilst the shower goes cold. As then your body seems to adapt to the new temperature faster.

If it is not somewhat of a shock to the system then I am not sure the shower is cold enough.

This mimics the Scandinavian culture of going back and forth between hot tubs/ sauna and freezing lakes.

I feel great for at least10 minutes after (clean, energetic and powerful feelings combine)

That 10 minutes is normally enough to get me started on something more productive

TECHNIQUE 2

Wim Hof breathing technique, (look up Wim Hof breathing on Youtube)

Try it for yourself or read the comments, or just look at the view count (50 million!!) for some validation this works.


Feeling streseed, anxious, overwelmed:

One of the best things I have found I can do to clear my mind is too just start writing and keep going until I feel better, no more tricks to it than that, for me it is the main thing I do when I feel overwhelmed and I don't know what I would do without it.
