Answer 3

My sis asked me that same question yesterday,she told me lately she's been anxious. I told her that is because she's desperate and should change her priorities and make a list of all the things she wants and only choose what is really important and cancel out or put on hold the not so. And that medication doesn't really work it just makes you sleepin but it doesn't change you inside like doubtful thoughts,neg. emotions. I Also told her that the best meditation that really could help her with all this is Self-Awareness which is sittin in a quiet place asking your self specific questions about yourself and writing the answers down in a piece of paper to know who you are like what you dislike about your self what do you want from life until u come to the roots of your problems and then change your doubts to truth. Once you have new thoughts educate yourself for 30 minutes everyday until you become self-aware of them. All that stress you have is because you have too much doubt in your mind and things you want to do. Exercise also helps for some 20 to 30 minutes to relax your body and it also gives you more endurance and promotes better health. Well I hope this help you:)
