"You need to relax"
Best I can do is dissociate
I’m reading a book on biofeedback trainings right now and they talk about this. The words “try” or “need” add pressure to stuff. Sometimes switching from “I need to calm down” or “I’m trying to slow my breathing” to “I’m allowing myself to calm down a little more with each exhale” or “I’m giving myself permission to slow my breathing” can be more helpful. There’s a difference between “try to relax the muscle” and “allow the muscle to soften” that is significant enough that for some people it can totally change the outcome of a relaxation exercise.
For other tips and tricks, instead of asking “why” you can’t change a thought/feeling (why being an offensive question, meaning it forces you to respond defensively - in this case defending the emotion you don’t like) you can ask “is there any leeway or wiggle room with this feeling/thought/belief for something else?” Oftentimes we know multiple things at once, and by allowing for a small amount of ambiguity we can start to accept the situation more fully.

the thing about nonfiction is you come out of it with several more books to put on your to be read list and it's only gonna branch out from there so really the only solution is to read every book in human history starting at the beginning

"is it better to read non fiction or novels?" No. It is better to read than not to read full stop. That is the only argument. Let's not create yet another fake scale of who is a better reader. I am so fucking tired of this kind of discourse. If you only read graphic novels you are still reading and that is better than not reading. If you only read middle grade books despite being in your 30s you are still reading and that is better than no reading. If you read one single book a year it is still good because you are reading. And that makes you a reader.
I have seen it in the tags and I feel like I should also add this, yes audiobooks count as reading, they are real books and if you can only read thanks to audiobooks you are no less of a reader, whether you read audiobooks due to dyslexia, blindness or any other reason and that can also just be I like to have a nice voice reading the book to me, you are reading and that is good. And yes, reading fanfiction counts as reading, reading, rereading books counts as reading, reading graphic novels and comics counts as reading. As long as you are reading even just a little bit that is better than no reading. If you spent 10 years not reading and then you pick a book back up and read one book in a year you are a reader and you made such a great decision picking that book up even if it is just a short novella, or the most lightheaded fiction book ever. I do not care what you read how you read or how much you read, if you get a bit of reading done you are doing a great thing for yourself and you are a reader.
