can you post a link to help me with stress and anxiety reduction
Look into:
Reducing negativity bias (spend less time on Poli Board and reading/watching the mainstream news).
Reduce Facebook /social media (you can unfollow people on Facebook = one way communication where you can look them up if you want, but otherwise you will stop getting their feeds
Optimize sleep by avoid bright lights/blue lights/electronics prior to bed (strive to shut this off 1 hour prior to bed). For that hour you can consider:
-light reading with dim or red band light (blue light disrupts circadian rhythm and melatonin production):
F.lux is a blue light filter program for a laptop that dials the blue light down at sunset. Most newer phones have blue light filter settings
-prayer/mindfulness practice/ meditation. Good starting apps would be Headspace or Calm (guided meditation). Jacobsen progressive muscle relaxation is also helpful in bed. Google it for a more formal description (toe to head sequence of relaxing muscle groups, mental imagery, and breathing). More advanced apps would be Brain.fm (for focus, meditation and sleep). This practice seems "woo-woo", but can be very powerful with daytime carryover. People report being more of an "observer" of things that used to bother them instead of a "responder". I have had similar results. You could also do this first thing in the AM upon waking.

The delightful and oh-so-Deutsche word for a circadian rhythm factor is zeitgeber. If you spend your workday indoors but watch TV and browse the web at night, work mostly alone during the day but socialize at night, and sit virtually motionless during the day but exercise at night, you’re effectively flipping three of the most important zeitgebers on their heads. So rather than investigating sleep supplements, let’s look into zeitgebers first.
The king of all zeitgebers is blue light. This light wavelength suppresses your body’s melatonin production. During the day, if you look up at the sky, you’ll see a free and powerful source of blue light: the sun. If you see the sun’s glorious light during the day, and shut off lights at night, hormones that vary throughout the day (such as cortisol and melatonin) are more likely to vary in the way you’d want them to.
