that's great to hear.
I also find it helps with anxiety..
PS when you talk about working up the nerve to take your bp, at home, I totally get it!
It took me a couple of years, along with the urging of my sis-in-law and my doctor.
I'm glad I now do it.
It is a source of information, and for me -- helps me feel more agency for my body, as I am able to lower my bp.
I write down every reading, and : the time, my mood, how much I slept, if I had eaten or not, if I had drunk coffee or not.
I wish you less anxiety and a healthy blood pressure!

After I read your original post, I started doing it for 10 minutes morning and evening. I can't say whether it has helped my BP, as I'm still working up the nerve to take the readings at home, but I have noticed a tremendous decrease in my daily anxiety level, which has been a torment for me since adolescence (I'm 68 now), and that is amazing.
