Stress, depression, anxiety - you know these three words like you know the back of your hand.
You do not just feel all three at some point in time; you feel them all the time.
Consequently, you know just how it feels like to be all stressed, depressed, and anxious.
You feel sad for seemingly no reason at all.
You feel constantly tired, sleep long hours, and don't feel like doing anything.
You know it's not normal; you know you shouldn't be this way.
But the higher you rise up the corporate ladder, the more you end up doing things you cannot possibly all cram into 24 hours.
You first instinct brought you to a shrink because back then, you believed a session in a couch is a good anti-anxiety technique.
But you've been seeing your shrink for two years now and you seem to be getting worse.
Don't you think it's about time you switch to alternative anti-anxiety techniques? If you've done everything your shrink has told you such as trying positive affirmation, going out on a date once, or doing breathing exercises only to find that nothing worked, then you must be doing something wrong.
You have downed bottles of Prozac.
You were on Luvox before that and another drug you already forgot the name of.
Except for the temporary relief you get when you pop a pill, you feel the same all time and at times, even worse.
If you've tried everything but sinking deeper into the quicksand of your depression and misery, regain control of your life by trying natural anti-anxiety techniques.
Alternative medicine is becoming widely popular and accepted in the world today.
And at an age when people are wont to be dependent on drugs - prescribed or not - even anti-depressants could be done away with.
Chris Green's Conquering Stress relates powerful alternatives to Prozac and anti-depressants: language.
Forget drugs or Oprah's Dr.
Phil techniques that never worked for you at all.
Use something you have always known how to do: language.
