Hello all, I came across an excellent book at the Library on Friday full of practical advice on combating anxiety. It wasn't a new book. I think it was published in 1998 by Paul Williams. Chapter 12 lsits pointers on how to raise your energy levels and reduce you anxiety levels. Those points are:
Believe in yourself
Be interested in what you're doing
Keep company as often as you can with people who think positively
Find an emotional 'garage' were you can recharge you battetries
Be organised
Don't spend eighty percent of your energy to get twenty percent results
Don't abuse you body, mind or emotions
Don't engage in futile regrets
Don't forget to rest
Don't live being angry with yourself and others
Sleep when you can
If you are a tortoise, don't prented to be a hare
If you rush to get things done, slow down
Don't keep punishing yourself with guilt
Don't let your energy be drained by fear
If you work in an office, do something manual; if your work is manual, do soemtthing to challenge your intellect
Listen to inspirational music and read something every dayt.
Excellent stuff.
