  1. There are no universal recommendations, everything is individual. However, a clear awareness of two banal but important truths will help everyone:

    • Stress is a feeling that a person is able to manage. Unlike the weather outside the window and the dollar exchange rate, you can both artificially create it-implementing the so – called “exit from the comfort zone” – and stop it.�

    • The longer stress lasts, the more harmful it is for you, since in this state a person is objectively not able to make smart, optimal decisions.�

    What can you do to get out of stress? There are different techniques, they can be divided into physiological (sports/walking/sex/food) and psychological. My experience, as well as observations of people who successfully overcome stress in the most difficult situations, suggest that it is best to combine these two approaches. Physical activity alone is not able to bring the body back to normal, if the head is not in order. But it is also difficult for pure psychology to return to a stable state when the body is far from its normal state.�

    Personally, the physiological practices listed above help me + setting up consciousness in a constructive way. First, as we discussed at TQ, you need to overcome procrastination and do something constructive (even if you have a rest, then meaningfully). Secondly, you should treat yourself appropriately, cutting off excessive introspection and accompanying self-deprecation. I like itthe following scenario, outlined by American psychologists in Forbes: be mentally prepared for stressful changes, adjust your behavior to them, look not at the past, but at the opportunities that the current situation gives you, and at the same time appreciate the achievements that you already have.�

    Don't try to drown out your stress with alcohol. And don't be afraid of anything else. Be careful, calculate the risks, but in any case do not be afraid.

  2. According to the gestalt, anxiety is arousal suppressed by holding back the breath. Not necessarily sexual, but any arousal of the body. Most often this is fear, but it doesn't really matter, any emotion becomes uncomfortable only from suppression, fear in its pure form is just increased concentration, readiness for action. What to do? Observe how you hold your breath, strain the muscles involved, notice what kind of excitement is stuck there and gradually accept your reaction to the events around you without suppressing.
