Surprised no one has mentioned Mindfulness yet. Like most I was skeptical about this new-agey BS. But sitting quietly without interruption for 10-20 minutes every day, and just focusing on breathing, has helped me a lot.
Note: I am a long time sufferer of PTSD.
- n8rb 9y agoI've tried meditation unsuccessfully a few times, and I tried mindful meditation unsuccessfully, but I was enlightened when I realized that mindfulness doesn't have to mean meditation. Mindfulness, at it's core, just means trying to keep your mind from wandering from it's task. In meditation, that task might be breathing, but I've found it useful for so many other things. Being present with my baby boy when a technical issue is bugging me. Listening to a boring story and giving feedback. Pushing through drudgery. It's an irreplaceable tool.
