An excellent summary of "Stress busting methods" but it lacks one major self-help approach that anyone can learn, namely to reduce and calm their breathing. The majority of us in the West breathe 2-3 times more air per minute than we need, this can lead to a vast array of modern illnesses that are treated with drugs. The commonest conditions include asthma, panic attacks, hay fever, and sleep problems. Anyone can teach themselves to reverse this bad habit but some may need professional help from a respiratory physio or Buteyko educator. Just "Google" Buteyko for more information about this seriously neglected health problem.
