Summary

The Anxiety Coaches Podcast delves into the benefits of water and the impact it can have on easing anxiety and improving mental health. In this episode, the hosts discuss the advantages of being near water, which includes inducing introspection, mindfulness, and relaxation. Furthermore, studies show that people who live near water experience lower risks of mental health problems and higher levels of general well-being. Therefore, it is essential to spend time near or listen to water for therapeutic benefits.


The podcast suggests that even if people cannot visit natural bodies of water, listening to or viewing water can produce similar benefits. Water sounds and videos can promote relaxation and stress relief, aid sleep, improve focus and productivity, mindfulness and meditation, and serve as ambient background noise. Incorporating water into daily routines can contribute to better mental health.


Additionally, the podcast recommends using visuals of serene natural settings or having physical paintings and photographs in the surroundings to reduce anxiety and provide a temporary mental retreat. The hosts suggest trying different kinds of water sounds and exploring various platforms or apps that offer water-themed relaxation or meditation content.


The episode concludes with a quote from Nietzsche and the host wishing good health to the listeners. Overall, the podcast emphasizes the importance of using water as a means to improve mental health while enjoying the beauty of nature.
