I’ll share a couple:
4 7 8 breathing
ears underwater
music/audio at slower speed (0.6-0.9)
Let’s hear em. I might want to do a series for various conditions or states so stay tuned and lets crowd-source this shit, enough of the “read my new/old 400pg tome for an introduction”. 🤮 Distill
It isn’t easy for many though, either or both because of mental or physical reasons. Your comment is a very classic case of “this thing is easy for me and works for me therefore it must be the same for everyone else”.
My anxiety, which has kept me on long-term sick leave for 10+ years, basically shuts down my body and ability to act. The vast majority of the time I’m completely unable to leave my apartment and often even leave the exact spot I’m in. “Just do it” just isn’t possible most of the time, and that isn’t an excuse, laziness or unwillingness. And this is just my specific case, there are as many different and just as real cases as there are people that also find it hard to do whatever thing is hard for them. There is never a “just X” that’s valid for everyone, and it’s idiotic and offensive to think and say so.
Dang I thought you were going to say something about people who are in wheelchairs.
Walking, in general, is a healthy activity that the majority of people would benefit from. I’m sorry your anxiety stops you from this activity, but to call someone idiotic, and their comments offensive, because they suggested someone with anxiety take a walk; is pretty silly.
