* * * I just started listening, and do feel a little more relaxed. My belief is that any improvement is worth sharing it to others [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/79kpoGF8KWU/maxresdefault.jpg "Instant Relief from Stress and Anxiety | Detox Negative Emotions, Calm Nature Healing Sleep Music★58") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79kpoGF8KWU) But I’d like your feedback. Maybe there’s other videos you know about that might work best for others? ---

Thanks for sharing. I haven’t got any particular links or videos to upload, but for me, it’s kind of the opposite psyche. To rid myself of stress or anxiety, I have to watch something that’s active, thumping or rousing in order to “purge” myself of tension. Such as watching a game-winning touchdown, or buzzer-beating 3-pointer, or something with pulsing action. ---

I’ve listened to those audio before without much effect, but yesterday was different. Maybe everything was just aligned perfectly… Tonight I’ll watch the first half of my home-team, and part of it is because I can’t get too excited and then sleep, and usually watch the same black and white western sitcom every single night (Wanted: Dead or Alive with Steve McQueen) until I feel drowsy. Also, it gives me the second half to start up the next morning, especially when I woke up at 4am, some kind of “reward” ---

“Wanted: Dead or Alive” is a sitcom? Maybe the BaaBaa the sheep episode… ---

I like videos like these, too, **MortSahlFan**. A few months ago, I suffered from some attacks of vertigo. They were frightening and disorienting. As long as I didn’t move the vertigo wasn’t active, and as I laid alone in bed feeling scared and anxious, I played videos like these while lying on my side waiting to feel better. They soothed me down considerably. I can imagine that if I had an even more frightening affliction, these would be helpful therapy to calm anxiety. ---

These would work _way_ better than my current practice of yelling “Serenity Now!” into crowded public spaces.
