Stress Management for BP Reduction

I have my best success with integrating totally new things into my life by actually scheduling them. Sounds horrible but it is the only thing that has worked, and continues working well. As far as things that may help you may just want to find one thing that has proven success in others and try it for an extended period of time. I have self-care habits that have seemed to take forever to feel a payoff. Pick something, start, stay with it.

Sounds like good advice. Thanks. I'll poke around and see if I can find some data on how long it takes stress reduction practices to impact BP.

I love this! I recently had a heart attack and was not aware or made aware that this battle w anxiety would be somthing I would possibly face..The anxiety I'm experiencing is awful and it comes and goes..I'm trying find a way to control and beat it w out using more Meds..I like the fact that your scheduling and keeping yourself focused on doing and adding things to your daily routine..thank you for this advice!!

I know what you mean... I find I do better with scheduling, but I resist it. Then after multiple times or even weeks to months of not doing the thing, whatever it is...then I'll try scheduling...and suddenly I can fit it in more often. I think I'm resisting my nature lol.
