Im in pursuit of controlling anxiety and getting a clear, calm, level headed mind but Im sick and tired of trying all this pansy **** like 'think happy thoughts and reject negative thinking' and meditation and stuff. Ive tried it. I can do it. But I feel my estrogen rising and feel like a softy.
How can I get a cool, calm, relaxed mind without doing pansy bullshit like thinking happy thoughts?
You don't really seem open to new ideas since you have tried everything.
For me, I go up in the mountains away from people and just sit there and watch the lake below or take a blanket and lie down between the trees and look up at the sky. I don't meditate. I just sit there and relax and listen to the sounds of nature.
I don't know if you live in an area where you can enjoy nature like this, but if you do, give it a try before writing it off.
Reply:For some people, exercise such as a long walk or jogging can help relax the mind. You can also practice deliberately distracting your mind when you feel anxious - for example, if you like baseball, then think about a baseball game you have watched. Writing in a journal can help; you can write about what triggered the anxiety, what things make your anxiety worse and what things seem to help you think clearly and in a relaxed manner. Periodically review your journal and see if you can detect any patterns that you can change.
Reply:different things work for different people. For you i would guess maybe relaxation - sitting in the sun? Or something like that?
