I think the single biggest contributor to my anxiety levels has been lifting weights. For the longest time I thought it wasn't for me, since I considered myself a nerd and I hated sports in school. But it turned out it was just what I needed. It's like ctrl alt deleting my brain, lifting heavy stuff. I can't even remember whatever I was worrying about before picking up the bar, whatever it was it sure doesn't seem like an issue to worry about anymore after. · 1 year ago
Meditation is (largely) a way to internalise, examine, and control yourself. Unfortunately over-self-analysis and over-self-control can be a contributing factor of things such as depression.
Some things can be solved by self-analysis, but I suspect it is fewer than meditation gurus claim. · 1 year ago
