not sure about. Altruistic people also take on many burdens which adds stress.

[mizzou7016 in reply to corgi_fan817]

Agreed. But then the question becomes is it their burden to carry

[corgi_fan817 in reply to mizzou7016]

usually not. sometimes someone who is very altruistic feels obligated when they are not. a healthy balance is in order.

Substantial scientific research indicates the benefits people receive from helping others including increased happiness. I am not sure on research regarding anxiety reduction but think that would be likely. I am curious what you think of Heartmath. They seem like a group of well intentioned people but the scientific validity of coherence always seemed a bit suspect to me. I do have the enwave2 and find some benefit to use but I must say that I don't like clipping things lb my ear. Are you able to crush their game with high school?

I don't have their product. I am always looking for ways to better my situation. Have found a lot of articles/blogs that I relate too

I think it is worth trying out the heartmatg sensor product even if expensive at ~$200 and I still don't know if it works. I bought it after reading about how Dave Asprey thought the emwave2 was his favorite product for reducing anxiety. Dave Asprey is a bit too much of a self-help guru for me to stomach, but he did get me to drink bulletproof coffee for couple years. Raw egg, butter and coconut in the morning coffee. Hmm. May be not the worst idea and helped lose weight and improve focus .
