    About this ebook

    Have you wondered if it is possible to stop intense feelings of worry, anxiety or depression without resorting to medication?


    Most depression related medication can have a series of harmful side effects that sometimes leave patients in an even worse state than before.

    There are several methods that have high rates of success when treating and eliminating depression, anxiety and negative thought patterns with little to virtually no side effects.
     

    Includes 3 books from the Collective Wellness series, in which you'll learn:

    • Discover exactly how to dismantle the most damaging automatic thoughts.
    • Effective sleep tips for driving away anxiety at bedtime.
    • How to develop a solid foundation of core beliefs so that external factors have little negative impact on the way you think.
    • How to avoid the most common mistakes that patients do that can greatly hinder their progress towards recovery.
    • Proven methods to relax your mind and body to disrupt stress and depression patterns.

    People that have suffered from depression, anxiety, or constant negative thoughts, know how difficult it can be to break the vicious, apparently never-ending cycle.


    There is a large number of patients that have learned how to succesfully manage emotions and thoughts to 'rewire' the way their mind works for good.

      I like this book a lot. It’s sectioned into an intro and 7 weeks of guided CBT. It’s interactive enough that I don’t lose focus, and informational and clear enough that it’s very easily readable.
    • 5/5
      Bought this for a family member. She loved it as it helps her through some of her most trying days and gives her helpful coping skills.
    • 5/5
      This book helped me. I've had some episodes since, and I've used the tools in this book to address them. What could have been a month or more of anxiety was avoided. I would not recommend that you do what I did. If you have an anxiety problem or panic attacks, then see a therapist. But if you must use this book, then I recommend that you be totally committed to it. Do what it says, and don't skimp on the home work.
    • 5/5
      This book explains that there are various types of disorders or problems whatever you want to call it that are defined as anxiety, and each individual needs to be treated individually. A good chunk of this book walks you through a process to help you identify what your problems are.
    • 5/5
      The workbook provides great information and activities to help overcome anxiety. I couldn't get out of the house very often because of my anxiety so I decided to see if this workbook could help with that and it really has. I feel more hopeful and confident leaving the house and I'm ready to get back to seeing my therapist.
    • 5/5
      Quick shipping! Wow! Nice workbook for anxiety related problems, I recommend this! It really helps you work things out and redirect your thinking!
    • 5/5
      Wonderful book, I am enjoying it... creating a life of calm. I didn't think CBT would work with existential anxiety but it's all about putting empowering alternative thoughts in your mind. Your mind is the creator anyway.
    • 5/5
      Really like the lay out. Very informative and makes you really question your anxiety, break it down, and realize how irrational some/most of your fears are.
    • 5/5
      Helped my daughter deal with her anxiety. I didn't read it but she says it really opens your eyes.
    • 5/5
      Purchased for my husband. He deals with panic and generalized anxiety. He is reluctant to take prescription medications or see a therapist. This book really helped find out his type of anxiety and make him feel like he is not alone. Also gave lots of suggestions to deal when his anxiety peaks.
    • 5/5
      Have a gift. The book has been spot on, like it was written for the recipient.
    • 5/5
      I am on my third week and I can notice a difference. This book is very well put together and systematic and I like that. Absolutely worth trying as long as you stick to the proper time line of the course. Pretty stoked! Thanks!
    • 5/5
      This book is full of interactive activities and describes anxiety so well. Highly recommend.
    • 5/5
      This is a very informative yet interactive workbook. I’m not too far into it but I’m engaged and committed to it already. It really makes you think about yourself and your behaviors - excited to finish the rest.
    • 5/5
      I have not finished the book but so far it has given me a lot of incite. This book is full of interactive activities and describes anxiety so well. Highly recommend.

      This is a solid book on how to decrease your anxiety. It gives good advice and lots of ideas and activities to help you over come your anxiety.
    • 5/5
      This book gives practical strategies for overcoming anxiety. These strategies helped me stop worrying. I recommend it to anyone who struggles with panic, worry or anxiety. Combined with meditation and tapping this book changed my life.
    • 5/5
      This is an amazing workbook! Of course, it’s not a cure all, but it’s an incredibly insightful guide to managing and becoming more aware of anxiety! It makes me feel so much better to have something that I can come back to when I feel the anxiety coming on. I’ve learned to be mindful of and lean into my anxiety and not try to shut it out.

    Anxiety - John Roberts

    Introduction

    People that have suffered from depression, anxiety, or constant negative thoughts, know how difficult it can be to break this vicious, apparently never-ending cycle. The majority of sufferers from these illnesses usually end up taking medications that can have very drastic negative consequences over the short or long-term.

    Research demonstrates that over 90% of the things that people with mood disorders such as depression are actually negative and self-destructive. This negative self-discussion eventually prospects to a self-fulfilling prophecy - what we’re constantly repeating in our brains eventually creates a damaging mindset that ends up making our recurrent self-talk a reality. Negative thoughts boost your levels of unhappiness and can ultimately damage your quality of life. It can eventually lead you to an unhealthy and self-destructive path.

    This book contains proven steps and strategies on how to treat your symptoms of depression and anxiety and help you stay away from medication that could end up harming your quality of life.

    Thanks for downloading this book, I hope you enjoy it!

    Chapter 1 Easy Lifestyle Changes for Living Depression- and Anxiety-Free

    Refusing to rely on medications to treat depression and anxiety is possible with the help of the following healthy lifestyle changes.

    1. Physical activity

    Making sure your body stays physically active helps a lot in driving the depression and anxiety blues away. You don’t necessarily have to sign up for a gym membership. To be physically active means something as simple as tending your backyard garden or walking to the grocery store. It helps to remember that starting slowly would be sound for people who have not had regular physical activity for some time. When you feel that your body’s fitness level has improves, you can gradually increase the time and intensity of your physical activity routines.

    But why is physical activity one of the most important lifestyle changes you can make to combat depression and anxiety? Apart from helping you reduce your risk of disease, live longer, lose weight, improve your appearance, and achieve the level of fitness you want your body to have, physical activity also helps you enjoy better sleep, experience less stress, have a sense of value and purpose, and gain more social connections, all of which contribute to reduced feelings of depression and anxiety.

    To make sure you get the most of your physical activity, fitness experts recommend that you get a minimum of two hours and thirty minutes of brisk walking or other forms of moderately intense physical activity per week, or one hour and fifteen minutes of jogging, swimming laps, or other forms of vigorously intense physical activity. You may even combine the two recommendations to suit your fitness needs.

    Other tips for making physical activity part of your lifestyle include:

    Choose physical activities that you actually enjoy doing.

    Get your body moving in a natural way. Research has shown that certain characteristics are shared by individuals who live over one hundred years, including setting up their lives in such a way that physical activity was a fixture in their day-to-day routine. These people get their exercise by tending the garden, taking walks, doing household chores, and climbing stairs, instead of lifting weights or going to the gym.

    Set aside a minimum of ten minutes of movement at a time. Individuals who perform any physical activity in short bursts that last for ten minutes each have shown that they can actually be as healthy as those individuals who clock in thirty minutes worth of regular workout on a daily basis.

    See to it that you are doing a minimum of two hours and thirty minutes of aerobic physical activity at moderate intensity in a week, which amounts to about thirty minutes daily. To achieve this, you can try brisk walking, general gardening, water aerobics, and ballroom dancing. Know that you will reap greater benefits when you go over these recommendations.

    Sneak in some flexibility and strengthening exercises to your workouts. You can also try adding sit-ups, push-ups, weight training, heavy gardening, carrying of heavy loads, and other activities that serve to strengthen the muscles; do them at a minimum of two days per week. Fitness experts also suggest including flexibility exercises, like stretching, that help you avoid injuries, reduce your risk of falls, and improve your balance.

    If you are one of those people who already have an established exercise routine, just keep on doing your exercises. Otherwise, let these getting-started tips help you along:

    Think 5 times 30: Walk, jog, dance, or bike 3 to 5 times per week for thirty minutes.

    Try picking physical activities that suit your personality. If you are extroverted, you might find group activities enjoyable; if you are introverted, working out solo may be more your cup of tea.

    Find a friend to exercise with. You will find that exercising becomes much easier to commit to if you have a buddy to endure and enjoy it with.

    Download your favorite music on your iPod so you have something enjoyable to listen to while working out.

    Practice patience when starting your new workout routine. Keep in mind that most individuals who are not that active usually need about 4 to 8 weeks to gain coordination and feel fit enough to exercise.

    Put small daily goals in place and strive to accomplish them on a daily basis, such as walking daily for fifteen to twenty minutes. This is better than allotting a special weekend to perform some heavy-duty physical activity, such as a 3-hour marathon challenge.

    The cold weather is not an excuse to give up physical activity for a while. Here are strategies you can implement to keep your exercise routine going even when it seems too cold to work out:

    Wear the right gear. In the winter, when darkness sets in at an earlier time, make sure to don on reflective clothing. To keep yourself from falling in ice/snow, wear shoes that provide sufficient traction.

    Wear gloves, headbands, and socks to protect your hands, ears, and feet from the cold weather.

    Clothe your body in layers, which you can just later remove once you start sweating and then wear again when needed.

    Take in lots of liquids. The cold weather can make it harder for you to tell that you may already be experiencing symptoms of dehydration. Make sure to drink your fluids not only during a workout, but also before and after. Have a drink even if do not feel thirsty at all.

    Put on some sunscreen. Slathering on the SPF is still advised in the winter, when you can just as easily get sunburned as in the summer.

    Follow the direction of the wind. Your route should place you in front of the wind as your workout ends so that you avoid feeling the chills after having worked up a sweat.

    Learn about the signs of hypothermia and frostbite. Seek help right away once you notice them.

    You may be one of those individuals who find it difficult to get themselves tied to any structured exercise program, so here are several ways for you to sneak in some form of physical activity into your daily routine:

    Be active during TV commercial breaks. Perform sit-ups, arm weights, or jumping jacks each time a commercial comes on.

    Inject extra steps to your day by foregoing the escalator/elevator and taking the stairs instead, getting off the bus/train one stop early, or parking far from the office entrance instead of right out front.

    Get moving even at work. Instead of sending emails to your co-workers, or calling them on the telephone, get away from your chair and talk to them. You can also use your lunch or coffee break to talk a short walk or use another floor’s bathroom.

    As much as possible, leave your car and walk manageable distances instead of driving all over the place.

    Work out as you work around the house. Move briskly as you weed the garden, mow the lawn, dust the furniture, and sweep, vacuum, and scrub the floors.

    2. Music therapy

    Whether it is passive music therapy or active music therapy, this form of therapy has been shown in a number of studies to be helpful in terms of improvement of motor control as well as emotional functions in individuals suffering from depression and anxiety. As suggested by research, music therapy is also effective in helping you feel better and may actually reduce your need to use prescribed drugs like hypnotics or tranquilizing medications. Moreover, music therapy helps in increasing:

    Self-awareness and self-expression

    Sense of belonging

    Self-acceptance

    Stimulation of speech

    Integration of motor skills

    Deeper connection with others and increased happiness

    There are lots of ways in which you can incorporate music therapy into your life:

    Go for music you enjoy, which may change according to your mood. You may find that soothing music helps relax you at certain times, and that your view of the world becomes more optimistic when listening to upbeat sounds at other times.

    Express your feelings by writing your own songs. Sometimes, lyrics can describe your emotions more easily than mere words. Don’t think about making sure your music is good enough; enjoy it because you made it for yourself.

    Check out live music performances in your local scene. Read on the Internet or in the local paper about these events.

    Make use of technology. Your tablet or iPod serves as your gateway to stress-relieving music while you are cooling your heels at the
