Want a joke? Most of our fears stem from childhood.
Remember: you're sitting in the evening, looking out the window—it's dark, something rustles in the bushes, or you're walking alone down the street at night—and you feel uneasy inside.
WHY IS THIS?
Causes that activate the amygdala—the part of the brain that first responds to danger.
It's especially active in the dark.
Evolutionarily, this makes sense: night = greater threat, you need to be alert.
But here's the kicker: If you're sitting in a room that's always dim (well, sort of dark), or you barely get any bright daylight, your amygdala remains in a constant state of readiness for some unpleasant event.
You don't seem to be afraid of anything, but anxiety arises on its own.
How to fix this:
Sunbathing. In the first hours after waking, go outside for at least 15-20 minutes, or to the balcony (with open windows).
Bright light reduces amygdala hyperactivity.
Work in good light. Even artificial, unforgettable light (a lamp ≥1000 lux) helps the brain feel safe.
Soft/Warm evening light. Signal your body: the danger is less, it's time to calm down.
Breathing. When anxiety rises, exhale slowly, activating the parasympathetic system.
And as a bonus, I'll give you a basic list of supplements: Magnesium, L-Theanine, Glycine, Taurine, B vitamins (active forms), Rhodiola rosea.
PS: Don't throw away all the supplements at once; it's better to take two bottles (Magnesium and Rhodiola rosea) with you, and you'll be happy.
Magnesium (Glycinate): 1500 mg in the evening (split into 2 doses)
Rhodiola rosea: 200–400 mg in the morning.
That's it
And put the answer yourself
