Another great stress reducer is a simple act of Doing something for someone else: buying someone's coffee at Starbucks, call someone just to check on them and show them love, complement a stranger, go visit a love one, treat someone to dinner!!. You'll be surprised how this calms your stress!! Also of course praying and talking to God is my number #1 go to when I'm stressed!! Love you all my brothers and sisters ❤️🙌

I'm a RECOVERED heroin addict that used to smoke, eat garbage and weigh 300 lbs. I THOUGHT I was coping with stress...i was creating it. Clean living works. 196 lbs now.
When I feel stressed, I read bible and pray to God, listen to music, drink a cup of tea, go to gym, go for a walk in nature, deep breathing, engage in hobbies, talk to family, self compassion, and try to focus on one thing at a time.
My husband has told me for years that I don’t handle stress well, and years ago I met with a kinesiologist who told me I was in constant fight or flight. My dad suggested that I watch your videos and wow…I am definitely in adrenal fatigue. Honestly when stress comes, I don’t know what to do. Typically I breathe, sometimes I pray, but often I eat lots of junk food and fast food.
Lay down. Scan your body from head to toe. Relax, then, relax more. I've done this for a long time and I meditate while doing it. It's amazing. Put your consciousness into the inside of your body. Focus on peace and love for yourself and humanity.
@@zoranagavrilovic9403 I have had extreme anxiety for a long time. Meditation, discipline, and consistency has helped me deal with it and reduce anxiety. Can't knock it until you try it for a good while. Anyone can relax with enough practice.
This is how I deal with stress now. 1 Peter 5:7 "casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
@elainelaguna3132 So many good reminders! Matthew 11:28-30 "Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light."
@@BobbiMac08 beautiful, thank you. Just what i needed to read as im sitting in the drs office waiting to go over some results. Ive been stressing big time over this. Thank you again! Right on time
The doctor with the most velvety, soothing voice was once terrified of speaking in front of an audience of his peers? Who could imagine that? Millions now can't imagine life without your voice and wisdom. You are priceless Eric! (66 and stress-free after a fear based foundation. BEAT IT!). ❤
I go in the garden, drink a coffee, listen to the noises, when I reconize them, I’m ready to do a little gardening🌱☘️🍂🍁🌹🌸🌼 that makes me less stressed. My biggest way to destress in life, was getting a divorce and beginning to take care of myself❤
Prayer is so helpful. Thank God for all that you are grateful for, ask for strength/clarity/discipline for the things you have some control over, ask for help letting go of the things you can't control, and overall that God's will be done. Do this daily and you can re-train your perspective on your daily problems.
I listen to Dr. Berg every day for motivation!! My stress and anxiety is always triggered due to family issues. I have had to start focusing on myself and stop trying to fix everyone else. Lifestyle/nutrition and self care is crucial. It took me many years to come to that conclusion. Thanks Dr Berg for your wisdom and calming voice!!!!
@@SusanHarrell530 When you pray you have to trust that God will work it out. And just because He's silent doesn't mean He's not working. It's just in His timing. So in the meantime just embrace your sufferings and know that God is graceful and merciful. He sees all and knows all. And He loves you. Read Philippians 4:6-7 very encouraging. This verse should relieve your anxiety.
John 14:27 Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Have a time with God everyday , put your life and plans in his hands . Remember we can’t not control things , but He can . And remember all this work for good for those who love the Lord.
I have gut issues because stress and a burnout that took me 3 years to get out of... I started to take l-glutamine and tudca and colostrum and it helps. Now I need to manage my stress and this video helps
When my child is stressing me out, I try to meet her need, but ignore her stressful behaviors. I deep breath and pray for inner peace for both of us. Sometimes I also softly sing something calming and try to relax my forehead, which is where my stress wrinkles form.
The last 12 years of my 40 year nursing career was at the hospital administrative level overseeing 9 highly stressful departments with excessive budgetary demands because my areas carried a six hospital system. You completely described me. I used alcohol, gained 40 lbs, had a TIA & got diagnosed with an autoimmune clotting disorder. I have struggled to regain my health and I retired 5 years ago. I appreciate your videos!
Oh gosh, Healthcare is the worst! I worked admin in a retirement home handling the scheduling for 150 employees. Psw and nurses. It was the most stressful experience of my life. Everyone is miserable. I was kind and friendly and people above and below me would look at me with nothing but misery and downright hate! I missed my period in my 3rd month there. I have never once missed a period. I couldn't believe it! My husband said I had to get out of there. He told me to quit. Wasn't worth it. What a horrible, horrible environment. I feel bad for all the elderly people stuck in that prison 😭
Nursing is tough and I would love to retire, but have to work so I try to laugh as much as I can , eating healthy and learning to let go the minute I walk away from my job…. Just breathe and feel free!! Gardening and spending time outdoors helps so much !! Good tidings to all !! ♥️🙏♥️
I would also say that stress is a response to not having control over situations. The world is a scary and unpredictable place, and we're constantly being told about the next thing we should be worried about. Once you're in that state of mind, it's easy to make even mundane things stressful, like finding a parking space at the grocery store. It's habit forming.
I do the 4-7-8 breathing method for 15-20 mn once or twice a day. It greatly reduces stress hormones and rhe more you do it the less stress hormones you produce. Wien i was really diligent with this i came to a point where i became totally calm all the time. And I am an ex panic attack sufferer so it was absolutely unbelievable for me ..!
I deal with stress by praying. I know Jesus takes care of me and provides for me because I love Him and respect Him. I appreciate your channel and follow a lot of your advice.
I use infrared sauna, ice baths, exercise, niacin flush, meditation, focus on the positives. Visualization, Wim Hoff breathing. Thank you for your channel.
Stress is problem due to thinking to much (worries) therefore my way to over come stressed is always thinking positive and relaxing life. Of course I do IF for more then 6 yrs now, I’m 65 yrs old. Thanks ☺️
How to think positively when my fiancé died before our wedding? How to remain positive when all I want is to die. I am at age when it’s a last minute to have children. I will never have a child, a family 😢 I am not trying to pick up on your comment . You seem like a smart person and I have no one to talk to 😢
@@carolinareaper8089 I’ve to agreed with you,, it’s easy to said then done, how ever, unfortunately NO one can help when we in any difficult situation.. only we know the conditions. Therefore, I’m sorry I can’t help you if you can’t control your mind.
Deep breathing has been saving me. It appears to be helping me reverse my insulin resistance. Multiple times a day, and before & after meals, anytime someone upsets me, anytime I'm startled or stressed or feel hungry. Before bed. It helps SO much. It's a new way of life for me I suppose and has been changing me in so many ways
@@mikeabsourdohernandez3396 what do you mean? Lol for deep breathing I just take a very deep breath in (more than if I were breathing normally) and then exhale slowly. I exhale through my nose now too. I do multiple deep breaths in a row for best results, I can literally feel the stress and tension go away
I need to apply these, I have a lot of childhood trauma and even when I’m sleeping it affects me cause I always wake up with aches, lower back, my jaw and shoulders. My body is always stressed and starting to take a toll. I’m not even on my 30s yet and I feel way older
I have started watching NDE ( near death experience) videos. That combined with a Christian outlook gives me a sense of calm . For those who worry about death, this can be very helpful.
How I deal with Stress is an area I'm working on. I hold everything inside you keep the peace and I see the impact on my blood pressure. I’m learning to set boundaries and move away from toxic people and environments. Loving people from a distance is sometimes necessary for your health. Thanks for this video today.
This is the way I do it: I view all life events as just a different spin on the kaleidoscope of constant change. I train myself daily to observe that what I want out of an event is just a personal view that is not so important. There are billions of personal views. So when any thought of "oh I expect this to happen" but then "it doesn't" arises, I see that it is just a thought and I attach a second thought "I am not worried". It's very calming to simply use the affirmation "I am not worried". But it never becomes a cliche to me because it is grounded in understanding of all events as transient and the grasping of them to satisfy some inner desire as just as transient. There is perpetual change, with every single blink of a moment different, like bubbles popping on the surface of a stream. New constructions, designs with each turn of the kaleidoscope. If someone practices this, as I do, they are guaranteed to achieve greater calm even in the midst of the hubbub. It relies on the Buddha's first noble truth (of suffering - due to internal desires, grasping, expectations) and on the factual reality of constant change.
I read a book when I was pregnant with my first child that embraced this concept. It was 20 years ago and I only applied it to labor, but the midwives were astounded with my pain tolerance. 23 hours of labor, no pain medication-I ended up needing a c-section, but that’s beside the point…😂 I had since forgotten about that concept, so I am grateful for this video. I struggle terribly (and naturally) with stress/anxiety. Will try this advice!
Was it Hypnobirthing? I did that, and benefitted greaty from it during labor and delivery too. With one child, I was doing so well that we called the midwife too late (bc I didn't think I was as far along in labor as I was), and our baby came before midwife arrived. Hubby ended up delivering her.
@@gonzatribe7muscle mind connection? Women with weak muscles badly developed pelvis floor have alot of issues giving birth. That's why overall health is so important.
@@gonzatribe7 No, I read a Dr. Sears Book. I think it was called “The Birth Book” 🤔 The key was that muscle relaxation (especially in the facial muscles) and I did a lot of praying through the contractions!
The muscles that I really focus on and try to release are the pelvic floor muscles. For me that stops panic attacks almost immediately. Thank you for your videos!
Coincidentally, it involves the psoas muscle, which is called the muscle of the soul. It's connected to the reptilian part of our brain, so it is linked to fight or flight.
A silent prayer Like a meditative state of prayer helps In the morning at night is best for this During the day A small prayer always helps calm my well being
I Identify what stresses me, and note my response. For example, when i feel stressed, note my thoughts. feelings, and behavior, perhaps even making a record of them. By becoming more aware of my response to stress, i may be able to deal with it more effectively. Also,i think of ways to eliminate stressful things from my life. If that is unrealistic, look for ways to reduce my impact, by managing my tasks or time more efficiently. 📖PROVERBS 17:27 “A discerning man will remain calm.”
The best ways to overcome the stress for me is not to exposing myself to stress, not holding back things that I should say to a friend or family member, put away all the high expectations from myself and look at my situation in every way realistically. Teach myself that to be the best version of myself not every day but every month or year and the last one is if something is out of my control then it should be out of my mind.
I generally take a walk or disconnect in some way and try to come back with another perspective. I remember having a precalculus problem I couldn't solve, frustrated the hell out of me. I took a walk from my dorm room to a vending machine, got an iced tea and came back to it, within 5 minutes I had it solved. If it's a situation of conflict I used to try to avoid things then they'd boil over and ended up messy. I now try to handle those directly, diplomatically and firmly because the longer these situations drag on the more stress they generate. So for these, it's about communication.
I suffer from stress & anxiety on a daily basis. My mother & grandmother had the curse as well. I use Herb Pharm Anxiety Soother drops; it tastes worse than ACV but it helps calm me almost right away (or maybe it’s just the horrible taste that’s traumatizing so nothing else matters at the time). When under stress, I get migraines (another hereditary curse), I’ve also had (2 so far) huge cyst like creatures grow on my face; those 2x were when I was under the most stress. I also get fevers. Stress is an attack for me, I feel like I’m going out of my mind and helpless. Other than the drops, I tend to eat my feelings.
I myself created this move: Stand in front of your kitchen sink, both hands grab the sink wall, pull your whole body backwards with feet on the same line /or close to the line where your hands at (Picture your body looks like a bow shape). I found this position very helpful to relax shoulder blades, lower back, and even both legs. And it's conveniet, try it!
About 12 yrs ago I had a basketball-sized tumor and 16 ltrs of a gelatinous substance in my gut. I can directly attribute this to stress. Then about 4 yrs ago I had another intensely stressful circumstance. I got a HORRIBLY awful case of shingles on my face. I'm 70yrs and the next stressful circumstance could kill me. I have an extremely stressful situation going on right now. Your timing is impeccable and I will use these strategies to attempt to get through this without getting ill. My food is clean and I am doing OMAD so hopefully.......
I'm currently attending grad school. The amount of presentations that we have to do in front of our peers it's just so much. Thanks for giving some of these strategies. I will definitely apply them.
Another great and timely video, but thanks to your coaching and keto guidance I am honestly so calm these days, even when pumped at the gym or playing loud music (like now) have a great week everyone.
I don't handle stress well, I've had huge amounts and am now trying to treat the damage. My best way to try and cope is reading or watching some escapist nonsense but it hadn't helped much. I try to analyse the causes and understand that helps. But the best thing is to meditate. It takes discipline, but it's excellent.
Hi Dr.Berg Listening to great jazz music calms me and removers all tension .At night I like to take a teaspoonful of pumpkin seed it not only calms you down but gives you a good night sleep which will eliminate stress .There were times when I could not get sleep.. Not any more since I have started eating.pumpkin seed. I make sure I have it in stock every month.Thank you for all your great videos Health is wealth.
When I was playing a much better tennis player, I changed my mindset from getting stressed out and tense from the general thought of needing to be way better somehow, to much more concrete ideas. I thought in terms of increments. Like "okay, I need to move faster than the last time to get to the ball" rather, than "I need to go fast as possible" The attempt to achieve maximum output was more stressful and less productive, than seeing that I could improve each time inclemently. When it was successful, it was almost as if I could relax while also moving faster and more accurately because I knew what speed was required not just maximum effort. Of course, you have to adjust this as the other player is adjusting play trying to beat you throughout the game.
Thank Dr ❤ i 🙏🙌✝️❤️ The good news If you use prayer and worship as a means for comfort, God will provide you with peace of mind. Be sure to thank him once your worries subside😊
Amen! Philippians 4:6-7 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
My daughter and I get in the car and drive out to the river and through the country. We have a play list just for this with all songs whose lyrics that keep our mindset where we want it to be, becausewhat you affirm when you sing is what you are programming for yourself. We play it, sing loudly and cruise through the country roads till we feel better. I also have a phrase personal to me that I created years ago that when I say it I am instantly calm and focused, tuned in to myself and my environment. It enables me to calm instantly.
@KetoWorks as of a week ago 90% of my worst stress for the past 3 decades has been eliminated! I am sure there will be others but for now I feel like I have been freed from indenture!
The use of candles is not limited to creating a romantic atmosphere, as essential oils and scented candles are used as a way to reduce feeling of stress and anxiety as well.there are scents that are particulary relaxing, such as levender, chamomile, neroli, sandalwood.even these aromas can improve sleep quality and reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.
Just a small point that was told to me by a certain guru, beware of artificial scents in candles and incense-sticks which come straight from Chinese chemical factories, they smell "nice" but are super-concentrated with no connection with the product they mimic. Sorry to be the barer of bad-news. 🕯🕯🕯
Frankly, I cannot remember what stress feels like. Cognitively, I have encouraged my neurotransmitters to follow a plan to substitute ‘confidence’ as an ideation that produces a stress-free manifestation in any situation. This outcome was not a gift. But, a rewards after exerting myself in the most stressful situations (knowingly) and using people through control to build on this cognitive transition. 👑😎👑
When I'm stressed I know that I can be unpleasant company so I tend to retreat to a quiet place by myself, or to go for a walk in nature. Music can help too.
I stopped coping and just completely withdrew myself from everything because I have social anxiety and the physical symptoms got so bad I couldn’t hide it.
I was diagnosed with stress induced ulcers at 14, I was given medication but it made me sleepy so I quit taking it. I didn't understand how bad things were for me and what kind of impact it would have until many years later. I was raised in a toxic, violent, and neglectful home. I graduated college many years ago and became a special education teacher, I feel rewarded in working in the education system. Your videos give me knowledge I would have never had and have helped me become more active in my own health. Thank you so very much.
When I feel that pounding heart before a public piano performance I take long slow nose breaths in, hold it in, then let it out slowly. I stiffen my hands and arms, then completely relax them until they stop shaking with fear. Sometimes it takes a few minutes of total relaxed breathing and relaxed arms and hands before the nervous feelings leave.
For reducing stress I don’t take my self to much seriously and I don’t listen my negative thoughts,I don’t get angry easy with someone who doing something wrong,I stay calm and try to focus on the things to do,I’m doing sport ,stretching,try to eat healthy and I pray God.I am grateful for all !And that’s the way for me not being stressed.I keep everything simple and the stress dissapears.
This might sound weird, but I treat stress as a bad habit. I can't really control it when it happens, but after the stress event usually I feel really good. One way to cope with it, I know my brain will balance out the emotions
Before watching the video: Bearthing excercises help me in unexpected high stress situation. Example: someone randomly asks me a uncomfortable question at work. I will slowly breave through the nose and let out through the mouth. Feels long and strange the first time but in reality we have much more time to reply than we think. Its stress that rushes time...
Walk, workout, sing, pole dance, garden, go out in nature, be around animals, volunteer, bake & cook. I really work at it, being calm and composed. It takes practice. I had to learn this. I admire people who can handle pressure and stress. I really appreciate everything I have learned from you. I just wish your supplements were available in Canada, but at least I can order them online from your website. Keep making videos.
I can easily over analyze the simplest things at times. Breathing and meditation the 5 years has helped tremendously. I ❤️ meditation walks in the woods, absolutely the best😊
the part about donating is really interesting. I`ve just donated something last week and I felt so good and relieved that I did that. Like being a part of something I`d like to see in the world.
Hi Dr B. What you said regarding donations to charities/needy was spot on. And if you “keep it to yourself” you maximise the health benefits form your giving. It’s good for the heart.❤
I am extremely extremely sensitive... deep feeler... not good for dealing with the world we live in... Prayer is the highest form of meditation... so when I can and think of it in stressful situations will be praying inside But sometimes the Stressful Situation is sudden and always caused by someone else's involvement and not much you can do about it I have Epstein Barr/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ... and it hit me like a Mac Truck after finding out my Dad had Cancer FINALLY...after a lifetime it hit me... I believe I heard my Guardian Angel tell me... change your attitude about it ... let it go... stay calm... and after that divine intervention... I am becoming better at doing that. I am one of those unlucky people who attracts stress causing people into their life...
Chocolate often used to be my go to . Since doing your healthy keto and IF I have a much better relationship with food. As you have said, if you’re not hungry , then food is not the answer. Between Jesus and keto my life is transformed . Thank you Dr Berg for helping to transform my health. This way of life is definitely sustainable
I go for frequent short walks among trees, a river, and lots of birds. I get a ton of sun this time of year and I absorb as much as possible. I am mediating often and make sure to keep in touch with my friends and family. I very rarely feel stressed.
I do mindfulness, it saved my life up to this point. Otherwise, intermittent fasting during and between Keto and OMAD simply undoes stress within the moment. Thank you! Edit: I have to be in the midst of a fast though to experience that calming effect.
My secret, surfing and short resistance training. But surfing in a relaxed manner is best. I am 67 and feel like 45. Try eat as low carbs as possible of course. Gracias Dr Berg.
I feel like walking my dog for 45 minutes 3 times a day helps me have a better perspective on life in general! Doing things I love to do also helps ;ie playing guitar, golfing,listening to music
I appreciate this video Dr Berg! Just today, the neighbor's fireworks startled me and that sent me into stress mode. I think it was intensified by a lack of sleep. It got me thinking how/why am I a 'high strung' person. I have high functioning anxiety. I'll start applying some of these relaxation techniques along with B1. Went on a hilly hike today and that definitely helped.
Thank you doctor for yet another wonderful video on a much needed advice! I go for swimming whenever I am stressed out. My stress is predominately induced by my micro management on pretty much everything around. I want to take control of the situation every second which is humanly impossible! And yet I keep striving to do that inviting more stress ! Thank you for giving us a new lifestyle with all your invaluable videos.
Hi Dr. Berg, the best way for me to cope with stress is to talk about it. Ideally, someone has something helpful to offer, but even just listening helps!
Hi Dr Berg , thank you your faithfulness really!!! Your fruits show your doing Gods perfect will !! I try and pray Philippians 4:6 for Paul’s letter to that church in that time and ours and all future generations!! But sometimes my battle in my mind is so real and strong I can’t let it go the first time because of vacuous things .. breathing is good also fasting longer is good but at the end of the day it’s all about me in him in Jesus !! Peace to you all
Walking and Music!! I meditate every day and make sure I do some “me time”… drink tea in my garden, get a massage… The most important is to live in the present… I can’t change the past and I can’t worry about what has not happen yet, all I have is this moment!
To deal with stressful situations, I first take a series of DEEP breaths, then I refocus my mind on God's Word, especially, what God promises me about those situations - thinking, "What would Jesus do? What would He want ME to do OR NOT do? Then I try to NOT let my mind dwell on the negatives of that situation and instead confess what the Bible says about it (verbally, out loud for my ears to hear me). Then I thank the Lord for the victory or strength He has given me in this and every situation, and move on. Whenever the thoughts of fear or stress return (and they often do), I would do the same thing above, because I know my mind had been so accustomed to look at the negatives in things and believe only the worst, so I know the battle continues in my mind and in my actions as I don't give up.
I give all my pain from little nuisances to major stress to God... and offer up the suffering as a prayer... and remind myself how blessed I am and that God is good.
I have a couple good ways of addressing stress. One: simply take a walk. Two: write. Writing anything helps, but it helps even more to write about, and analyze, the stressors. I have some bad ways too: eating--especially junk food is a crutch.
Funny you mentioned this. Seems as though stressful situations are deliberately constructed. So it is a constant fight between feeling stressed, but trying to relax.
Walks every night around town with my wife. Cannabis was a big turn around for me at 39, gave up coffee, cigs and most of my junk snacking. Now i snack on pickled eggs, with onions, and cucumbers all pickled and cut up and put in salad with bacon bits and stuff.... it's helped a lot. Thanks for all the time you take on this.
I am a child of God, redeemed by the blood of Christ. The Holy Spirit has guided me through horrendous events. At 78 years of age I am without dependence on pharmacia and modern medicine.

Lifestyle/nutrition and self care is crucial. It took me many years to come to that conclusion. Thanks Dr Berg for your wisdom and calming voice!!!!
I’m 27, and this IS EXACTLY MY LIFE AT THE MOMENT. I have decided to now focus on me. One step at a time.

I pray when I'm under stress.
Would you mind praying for me? I'm under extreme stress lately. I've been sick over two years and it's wearing me down. I pray So much.
@@SusanHarrell530 When you pray you have to trust that God will work it out. And just because He's silent doesn't mean He's not working. It's just in His timing. So in the meantime just embrace your sufferings and know that God is graceful and merciful. He sees all and knows all. And He loves you. Read Philippians 4:6-7 very encouraging. This verse should relieve your anxiety.

I have gut issues because stress and a burnout that took me 3 years to get out of... I started to take l-glutamine and tudca and colostrum and it helps. Now I need to manage my stress and this video helps
Same, taking l glutamine. Not sure it's helping. Should I add colostrum?
When my child is stressing me out, I try to meet her need, but ignore her stressful behaviors. I deep breath and pray for inner peace for both of us. Sometimes I also softly sing something calming and try to relax my forehead, which is where my stress wrinkles form.
The last 12 years of my 40 year nursing career was at the hospital administrative level overseeing 9 highly stressful departments with excessive budgetary demands because my areas carried a six hospital system. You completely described me. I used alcohol, gained 40 lbs, had a TIA & got diagnosed with an autoimmune clotting disorder. I have struggled to regain my health and I retired 5 years ago. I appreciate your videos!
Oh gosh, Healthcare is the worst! I worked admin in a retirement home handling the scheduling for 150 employees. Psw and nurses. It was the most stressful experience of my life. Everyone is miserable. I was kind and friendly and people above and below me would look at me with nothing but misery and downright hate! I missed my period in my 3rd month there. I have never once missed a period. I couldn't believe it! My husband said I had to get out of there. He told me to quit. Wasn't worth it. What a horrible, horrible environment. I feel bad for all the elderly people stuck in that prison 😭
Sounds like me. I had a TIA then diagnosed with Factor V Leiden now also have Graves Disease and shingles. Trying to destress. 🙏🏻
Nursing is tough and I would love to retire, but have to work so I try to laugh as much as I can , eating healthy and learning to let go the minute I walk away from my job…. Just breathe and feel free!! Gardening and spending time outdoors helps so much !! Good tidings to all !! ♥️🙏♥️
I would also say that stress is a response to not having control over situations. The world is a scary and unpredictable place, and we're constantly being told about the next thing we should be worried about. Once you're in that state of mind, it's easy to make even mundane things stressful, like finding a parking space at the grocery store. It's habit forming.
Yes, so true!!!
True

I do the 4-7-8 breathing method for 15-20 mn once or twice a day. It greatly reduces stress hormones and rhe more you do it the less stress hormones you produce. Wien i was really diligent with this i came to a point where i became totally calm all the time. And I am an ex panic attack sufferer so it was absolutely unbelievable for me ..!

Deep breathing has been saving me. It appears to be helping me reverse my insulin resistance. Multiple times a day, and before & after meals, anytime someone upsets me, anytime I'm startled or stressed or feel hungry. Before bed. It helps SO much. It's a new way of life for me I suppose and has been changing me in so many ways
How do you breathe right ?!
@@mikeabsourdohernandez3396 what do you mean? Lol for deep breathing I just take a very deep breath in (more than if I were breathing normally) and then exhale slowly. I exhale through my nose now too. I do multiple deep breaths in a row for best results, I can literally feel the stress and tension go away

I need to apply these, I have a lot of childhood trauma and even when I’m sleeping it affects me cause I always wake up with aches, lower back, my jaw and shoulders. My body is always stressed and starting to take a toll. I’m not even on my 30s yet and I feel way older
I have started watching NDE ( near death experience) videos. That combined with a Christian outlook gives me a sense of calm . For those who worry about death, this can be very helpful.
How I deal with Stress is an area I'm working on. I hold everything inside you keep the peace and I see the impact on my blood pressure.

I tend to wear my shoulders up around my ears, so the advice on relaxing them and then relaxing them more was particularly on point.

This is the way I do it: I view all life events as just a different spin on the kaleidoscope of constant change. I train myself daily to observe that what I want out of an event is just a personal view that is not so important. There are billions of personal views. So when any thought of "oh I expect this to happen" but then "it doesn't" arises, I see that it is just a thought and I attach a second thought "I am not worried". It's very calming to simply use the affirmation "I am not worried". But it never becomes a cliche to me because it is grounded in understanding of all events as transient and the grasping of them to satisfy some inner desire as just as transient. There is perpetual change, with every single blink of a moment different, like bubbles popping on the surface of a stream. New constructions, designs with each turn of the kaleidoscope. If someone practices this, as I do, they are guaranteed to achieve greater calm even in the midst of the hubbub. It relies on the Buddha's first noble truth (of suffering - due to internal desires, grasping, expectations) and on the factual reality of constant change.
Ashwagandha is amazing. Long walks 🚶♀️ ✨️ 💙 😌 💕 breathing, practicing spirituality, the occasional CBD massage 💆♀️
I read a book when I was pregnant with my first child that embraced this concept. It was 20 years ago and I only applied it to labor, but the midwives were astounded with my pain tolerance. 23 hours of labor, no pain medication-I ended up needing a c-section, but that’s beside the point…😂 I had since forgotten about that concept, so I am grateful for this video. I struggle terribly (and naturally) with stress/anxiety. Will try this advice!
If you could do it during childbirth you can do it _anytime!_
Was it Hypnobirthing?
I did that, and benefitted greaty from it during labor and delivery too.
With one child, I was doing so well that we called the midwife too late (bc I didn't think I was as far along in labor as I was), and our baby came before midwife arrived. Hubby ended up delivering her.
@@gonzatribe7muscle mind connection? Women with weak muscles badly developed pelvis floor have alot of issues giving birth. That's why overall health is so important.
@@gonzatribe7 No, I read a Dr. Sears Book. I think it was called “The Birth Book” 🤔 The key was that muscle relaxation (especially in the facial muscles) and I did a lot of praying through the contractions!
@@iKnowlestheTruth Nice!
The muscles that I really focus on and try to release are the pelvic floor muscles. For me that stops panic attacks almost immediately. Thank you for your videos!
Coincidentally, it involves the psoas muscle, which is called the muscle of the soul.
It's connected to the reptilian part of our brain, so it is linked to fight or flight.
How does one do that?

The way I cope with stress is by simply repeating the mantra "do not worry it's going to be okay". This has a surprisingly effective outcome for me.
I work in garden or house, have to keep busy, that's my go to.
That's very good. Stay safe and healthy!
I
Identify what stresses me, and note my response. For example, when i feel stressed, note my thoughts. feelings, and behavior, perhaps even making a record of them. By becoming more aware of my response to stress, i may be able to deal with it more effectively. Also,i think of ways to eliminate stressful things from my life. If that is unrealistic, look for ways to reduce my impact, by managing my tasks or time more efficiently.

I created my own stress management system based on theee phases: Release, Relax, and Resolve
Great 👍 Some of the other Dr Berg’s videos /articles on stress relief may help further.
Not all causes of stress have resolutions though. That's the problem.
The best ways to overcome the stress for me is not to exposing myself to stress, not holding back things that I should say to a friend or family member, put away all the high expectations from myself and look at my situation in every way realistically. Teach myself that to be the best version of myself not every day but every month or year and the last one is if something is out of my control then it should be out of my mind.
I generally take a walk or disconnect in some way and try to come back with another perspective. I remember having a precalculus problem I couldn't solve, frustrated the hell out of me. I took a walk from my dorm room to a vending machine, got an iced tea and came back to it, within 5 minutes I had it solved.
If it's a situation of conflict I used to try to avoid things then they'd boil over and ended up messy. I now try to handle those directly, diplomatically and firmly because the longer these situations drag on the more stress they generate. So for these, it's about communication.

I suffer from stress & anxiety on a daily basis. My mother & grandmother had the curse as well. I use Herb Pharm Anxiety Soother drops; it tastes worse than ACV but it helps calm me almost right away (or maybe it’s just the horrible taste that’s traumatizing so nothing else matters at the time). When under stress, I get migraines (another hereditary curse), I’ve also had (2 so far) huge cyst like creatures grow on my face; those 2x were when I was under the most stress. I also get fevers. Stress is an attack for me, I feel like I’m going out of my mind and helpless. Other than the drops, I tend to eat my feelings.
I myself created this move: Stand in front of your kitchen sink, both hands grab the sink wall, pull your whole body backwards with feet on the same line /or close to the line where your hands at (Picture your body looks like a bow shape). I found this position very helpful to relax shoulder blades, lower back, and even both legs. And it's conveniet, try it!
Traveling, hiking, meeting new people ❤
I am a stressful person. I hope this video can help me. Thank you for being so helpful doctor Berg!!!!
About 12 yrs ago I had a basketball-sized tumor and 16 ltrs of a gelatinous substance in my gut. I can directly attribute this to stress. Then about 4 yrs ago I had another intensely stressful circumstance. I got a HORRIBLY awful case of shingles on my face. I'm 70yrs and the next stressful circumstance could kill me. I have an extremely stressful situation going on right now. Your timing is impeccable and I will use these strategies to attempt to get through this without getting ill. My food is clean and I am doing OMAD so hopefully.......
I'm currently attending grad school. The amount of presentations that we have to do in front of our peers it's just so much. Thanks for giving some of these strategies. I will definitely apply them.
I hated that too when I did grad school. Those darn seminars.
I use breath techniques, cold showers and ice baths! Works like a charm for me
Another great and timely video, but thanks to your coaching and keto guidance I am honestly so calm these days, even when pumped at the gym or playing loud music (like now) have a great week everyone.

I don't handle stress well, I've had huge amounts and am now trying to treat the damage. My best way to try and cope is reading or watching some escapist nonsense but it hadn't helped much. I try to analyse the causes and understand that helps. But the best thing is to meditate. It takes discipline, but it's excellent.
Hi Dr.Berg Listening to great jazz music calms me and removers all tension .At night I like to take a teaspoonful of pumpkin seed it not only calms you down but gives you a good night sleep which will eliminate stress .There were times when I could not get sleep..

When I was playing a much better tennis player, I changed my mindset from getting stressed out and tense from the general thought of needing to be way better somehow, to much more concrete ideas. I thought in terms of increments. Like "okay, I need to move faster than the last time to get to the ball" rather, than "I need to go fast as possible" The attempt to achieve maximum output was more stressful and less productive, than seeing that I could improve each time inclemently. When it was successful, it was almost as if I could relax while also moving faster and more accurately because I knew what speed was required not just maximum effort. Of course, you have to adjust this as the other player is adjusting play trying to beat you throughout the game.

My daughter and I get in the car and drive out to the river and through the country. We have a play list just for this with all songs whose lyrics that keep our mindset where we want it to be, becausewhat you affirm when you sing is what you are programming for yourself. We play it, sing loudly and cruise through the country roads till we feel better.
I also have a phrase personal to me that I created years ago that when I say it I am instantly calm and focused, tuned in to myself and my environment. It enables me to calm instantly.

The use of candles is not limited to creating a romantic atmosphere, as essential oils and scented candles are used as a way to reduce feeling of stress and anxiety as well.there are scents that are particulary relaxing, such as levender, chamomile, neroli, sandalwood.even these aromas can improve sleep quality and reduce feelings of anxiety and stress.
Just a small point that was told to me by a certain guru, beware of artificial scents in candles and incense-sticks which come straight from Chinese chemical factories, they smell "nice" but are super-concentrated with no connection with the product they mimic. Sorry to be the barer of bad-news. 🕯🕯🕯

Frankly, I cannot remember what stress feels like. Cognitively, I have encouraged my neurotransmitters to follow a plan to substitute ‘confidence’ as an ideation that produces a stress-free manifestation in any situation.
This outcome was not a gift. But, a rewards after exerting myself in the most stressful situations (knowingly) and using people through control to build on this cognitive transition.

When I'm stressed I know that I can be unpleasant company so I tend to retreat to a quiet place by myself, or to go for a walk in nature. Music can help too.
I stopped coping and just completely withdrew myself from everything because I have social anxiety and the physical symptoms got so bad I couldn’t hide it.
I was diagnosed with stress induced ulcers at 14, I was given medication but it made me sleepy so I quit taking it.
I didn't understand how bad things were for me and what kind of impact it would have until many years later. I was raised in a toxic, violent, and neglectful home.
I graduated college many years ago and became a special education teacher, I feel rewarded in working in the education system.
Your videos give me knowledge I would have never had and have helped me become more active in my own health. Thank you so very much.
I eat anything but, i have this 95% under control thanks to utube videos. Ty
Prayerfully ask the Holy Spirit in the moment. Daily Maintain relationship with God through our Lord Jesus.
Thanks Dr Berg
I love you, Dr Berg!
Just hearing your voice is relaxing me!❤❤❤❤❤
When I feel that pounding heart before a public piano performance I take long slow nose breaths in, hold it in, then let it out slowly. I stiffen my hands and arms, then completely relax them until they stop shaking with fear. Sometimes it takes a few minutes of total relaxed breathing and relaxed arms and hands before the nervous feelings leave.
For reducing stress I don’t take my self to much seriously and I don’t listen my negative thoughts,I don’t get angry easy with someone who doing something wrong,I stay calm and try to focus on the things to do,I’m doing sport ,stretching,try to eat healthy and I pray God.I am grateful for all !And that’s the way for me not being stressed.I keep everything simple and the stress dissapears.

This might sound weird, but I treat stress as a bad habit. I can't really control it when it happens, but after the stress event usually I feel really good. One way to cope with it, I know my brain will balance out the emotions
Before watching the video:
Bearthing excercises help me in unexpected high stress situation.
Example: someone randomly asks me a uncomfortable question at work.
I will slowly breave through the nose and let out through the mouth.
Feels long and strange the first time but in reality we have much more time to reply than we think.
Its stress that rushes time...
Walk, workout, sing, pole dance, garden, go out in nature, be around animals, volunteer, bake & cook. I really work at it, being calm and composed. It takes practice. I had to learn this. I admire people who can handle pressure and stress. I really appreciate everything I have learned from you. I just wish your supplements were available in Canada, but at least I can order them online from your website. Keep making videos.

Prayer is the highest form of meditation... so when I can and think of it in stressful situations will be praying inside
But sometimes the Stressful Situation is sudden and always caused by someone else's involvement
and not much you can do about it

FINALLY...after a lifetime it hit me... I believe I heard my Guardian Angel tell me... change your attitude about it ... let it go... stay calm... and after that divine intervention... I am becoming better at doing that.
I am one of those unlucky people who attracts stress causing people into their life...
Chocolate often used to be my go to . Since doing your healthy keto and IF I have a much better relationship with food. As you have said, if you’re not hungry , then food is not the answer. Between Jesus and keto my life is transformed . Thank you Dr Berg for helping to transform my health. This way of life is definitely sustainable
I go for frequent short walks among trees, a river, and lots of birds. I get a ton of sun this time of year and I absorb as much as possible. I am mediating often and make sure to keep in touch with my friends and family. I very rarely feel stressed.
Awesome 👏 Thanks for sharing!
I do mindfulness, it saved my life up to this point. Otherwise, intermittent fasting during and between Keto and OMAD simply undoes stress within the moment. Thank you!

Hi Dr Berg , thank you your faithfulness really!!!
Your fruits show your doing Gods perfect will !!
I try and pray Philippians 4:6 for Paul’s letter to that church in that time and ours and all future generations!! But sometimes my battle in my mind is so real and strong I can’t let it go the first time because of vacuous things .. breathing is good also fasting longer is good but at the end of the day it’s all about me in him in Jesus !! Peace to you all
Walking and Music!! I meditate every day and make sure I do some “me time”… drink tea in my garden, get a massage… The most important is to live in the present… I can’t change the past and I can’t worry about what has not happen yet, all I have is this moment!

To deal with stressful situations, I first take a series of DEEP breaths, then I refocus my mind on God's Word, especially, what God promises me about those situations - thinking, "What would Jesus do? What would He want ME to do OR NOT do? Then I try to NOT let my mind dwell on the negatives of that situation and instead confess what the Bible says about it (verbally, out loud for my ears to hear me). Then I thank the Lord for the victory or strength He has given me in this and every situation, and move on. Whenever the thoughts of fear or stress return (and they often do), I would do the same thing above, because I know my mind had been so accustomed to look at the negatives in things and believe only the worst, so I know the battle continues in my mind and in my actions as I don't give up.
I give all my pain from little nuisances to major stress to God... and offer up the suffering as a prayer... and remind myself how blessed I am and that God is good.
I have a couple good ways of addressing stress. One: simply take a walk. Two: write. Writing anything helps, but it helps even more to write about, and analyze, the stressors.
I have some bad ways too: eating--especially junk food is a crutch.
Also--always do the hard thing. Expand your 'comfort zone.'
Thank you Dr. Berg. Grateful.
Very much appreciated!
Funny you mentioned this. Seems as though stressful situations are deliberately constructed. So it is a constant fight between feeling stressed, but trying to relax.
I pray, trust & believe that God has it covered. I also take a few deep cleansing breaths or take a long walk when I feel overwhelmed.
Such amazing information. Thank you doctor!! A lot of people die prematurely because of stress!! Keeping these stress levels low is crucial!!
Walks every night around town with my wife. Cannabis was a big turn around for me at 39, gave up coffee, cigs and most of my junk snacking. Now i snack on pickled eggs, with onions, and cucumbers all pickled and cut up and put in salad with bacon bits and stuff.... it's helped a lot. Thanks for all the time you take on this.
I’m saved, I believe Gods word, bad things happen all the time I try to leave it in his hands
