1st 0:43 Learn the difference between emotional and factual reasoning. 2nd 1:53 Learn to differentiate what's actually happening from what you're currently thinking about. 3rd 3:39 Prove yourself wrong. Show yourself that your thoughts have no basis in truth. Go to the doctor and confirm that you aren't dying of some incurable disease. Ask someone how they feel about you if you don't know. Do not live in the grey area when answers are available. 4th 4:28 Stop trying to navigate the path while the hallway is dark. Do not make decisions when you're upset. 5th 5:44 Unhook from your emotions. Instead of saying "I am.... say "I am having the thought that I am..." 6th 6:34 Fire can burn your house down, or it can cook you dinner each night and keep you warm in the winter. Your mind is the same way. Will you let it burn you out and cause you to feel helpless and hopeless, or turn you into MacGyver? 7th 7:54 Realize that thoughts can be merely illusions. Think about all the things you've thought and worried about that have turned out not to be real. Think of all the time you wasted preparing for outcomes that would never happen. In the future when you start to worry, ask yourself if what you are worried about is factual and probable. 8th 10:02 Follow it to the end. Think about whatever you are worried about. Then imagine, realistically, what will happen and follow it out to its conclusion. If you stick with fact-based, probable scenarios, you will often find that the outcome is not that scary. 9th 12:21 Remember that the average person has over 50,000 thoughts each and every day. Some are happy some sad, some fearful and some scary. If you were asked how many of your 50,000 thoughts you remembered today it would likely be less than 100. 10th 13:58 Ride the wave. Feelings come, peak within about 20 minutes and subside unless you "feed them. 11th 16:00 Don't swat the bee. 12th 17:19 Embrace the dialectics. That is, try to figure out how two seemingly contradictory things can both be true. (This relationship can end, and I can be okay. I could lose my job but still have my family) 13th 18:24 Look for opportunity in the angst. Worry tells you that something MIGHT need to change. Opportunities make up the majority of the iceberg that is the reality you don't yet know and can't yet see. Dive in! 14th 20:01 Change your objective. The goal is not to feel "good" all the time, it's to be able to express a healthy range of emotion without suppressing or suffering. Remember Yin and Yang. There is a little bit of Yang in Yin and a little bit of Yin in Yang. 15th 22:21 Develop hardiness. 16th 24:19 Irrational thoughts are sometimes products of traumas you've yet to fully acknowledge or deal with. 17th 26:08 Accept the fact that everyone, everywhere, has weird, incorrect, disturbing thoughts that have no bearing on reality. You are not a freak. You are (probably) not sick. You just have to learn to not be intimidated by your own mind. 18th 27:14 Stop gauging how bad things are by how much you panic. The more you panic, the more you will panic. 19th Identify your comfort zones, and step back into them now and again. Moving past the place that you're used to is a gradual process - going too quickly is a recipe for a stress 20th 29:27 Practice healthy discomfort. Learn to lean into your stress, not resist it. Accept you feel how you feel and remember that it is unpleasant, but you can tolerate it. 21th 30:14 Practice radical acceptance. Learn to acknowledge the parts of your story you'd rather ignore, forget or not admit. Choose to love your home, and your body, and your work, even if you don't like it all the time. Choose to build your life from a place of gratitude and vision, rather than running from your own fears.

Reframing. I like that suggestion. Not "I am," but "I have the thought of." Because whatever we place after, "I am," we just end up becoming.

Tomorrow I’m starting therapy I have aniexty because it’s a phone session and I don’t live alone. Do I go in my car to have some privacy? Or just do the appointment in my bedroom. The things I over think about lol

[@DocSnipes]

You need to be in an environment where you can be honest with the therapist.

I'm glad I invested in you. You see that I can afford subway, but not the most popular steakhouses. Better is a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. God bless you. I'm just joking by the way. :) I appreciate your teachings.

[@Augfordpdoggie]

I posted in another video. I have 2 long term cptsd case...longer than 15 years each. I am always on edge....stressed an emotionally overeactive. Would you be interested in studying my brain?

[@DocSnipes]

It sounds like you are looking for a neuropsychologist. They would have access to the tools to study the brain.

[@joaquinromolor8413]

It's like a yoyo or ying yang.
