A Third Natural Remedy for Anxiety is Often Overlooked

Learning to change your breathing into a relaxed pattern is a powerful, natural remedy for anxiety that people overlook because it seems so basic and simple.  Everyone knows how to breath, right?  Wrong!   Your lungs behave one way when you are in a relaxed physical state and another when you are in an adrenalin rush.  A simple, natural remedy for anxiety involves choosing to change your breathing from fast to slow, irregular to even pacing, and shallow to deep.  However, the real benefit of this very natural remedy for anxiety is felt when a person practices daily for at least two weeks or more.

Choose Your Steps Wisely

Making life changes requires effort. It's as if we all have a stack of "effort chips" that we can spend on a problem.

The key is to spend your effort chips strategically. When you find leverage, the problem gets fixed before your effort chips run out.

The 12 skills are about spending your "effort chips" wisely.
