A chat with Mark Beaumont led me to reveal… what?

[@mistersmith158]

Juliet how can we have you believe in your obvious strong abilities as a bike rider while enjoying what you are doing no matter what and not self-sabotage your adventures. Can you allow yourself to enjoy doing these exciting things? I think so, and I hope you just stay in the moment and enjoy each and every minute of the experience in Chile. There is no reason that from a skill and fitness level that you couldn't and won't if you allow yourself to enjoy it. Believe in yourself and that you have everything within yourself to be successful. Focus on the joy of being able to do what you love. That in and of itself is the first level of success, and there is much more that will fall in line from there if you will allow it. All the best and many of us all believe in you; you are fantastic and inspirational. much love and hope for all the best to you

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

thank you so much, what a helpful and lovely comment, I'll definitely keep this one in mind when I'm in Chile

[@bmurd45]

I so get this, having terrible anxiety myself. I would sign up for many organised events, pay for them, and the nearer I got to it, the more I didn’t want to do it and didn’t do it. Felt so stupid as I love cycling. Great to hear I’m not alone. Anxiety is so much about not seeing yourself being good enough.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

I'm sorry to hear you pulled out. Much as I suffer anxiety, I'm aware of it so I make myself go though with stuff knowing that once I'm riding I'll be ok. Also I'd be so bummer with myself for pulling out that I'm aware I'd be making things worse for myself

Chimp paradox is a good book to read around on this topic

[@Grandadgreyhair]

I notice another reader recommended the chimp paradox by Dr Peter’s and I would also recommend this book. It looks at the emotional impact of our thoughts and apparently they are at least five times stronger than rational thought. You can’t control emotions completely but you can learn to manage them. Victoria Pendleton was driven by a fear of failure, she never enjoyed the winning of medals she just felt relief that she had not let others down. Bradley Wiggins once nearly lost a major track race because he was facing his hero and emotionally he reacted to this and lost the first leg, his coach correctly got him to focus on process and he rode the times he was doing in training and ended up winning. It takes guts to share your story and to try and address your drivers so I hope you are kinder to yourself with your inner voice. Understanding yourself, developing effective habits and understanding triggers, whilst retaining the things that make you great is challenging so good luck, you have already taken the most difficult step and that is wanting to make some changes. In the video there was some great advice and the bit of having supportive people around you that you trust, but who will give you the feedback ( that you have given them permission to give ) is key, as my experience of behavioural change is that you can’t do it all on your own. In all learning you go from unconscious incompetence, to conscious incompetence, then to conscious competence and finally unconscious competence. Then you should cycle back occasionally to conscious competence to make sure you are not becoming complacent or developing bad habits. The good news is that once you are clear on what and how you intend to develop it takes around 12/14 weeks to develop a new habit so that it sticks at a basic level. You should be proud of sharing your story so many of us have been through doubts and fears and I look forward to hearing how you succeed. Ps I am not an expert but was involved organisational people development for many years.

You're not alone, I used to have panic attacks due to stress, when I started doing ultra distance events they came back but I was able to manage and turn them actually into almost pleasurable. Its very important to recognizer them before they settle in and then just learn to manage and turn them upside down. But every one is different. Tha ks for sharing your story.

[@jeztv9014]

Take some of the pressure away by making a brief lists of what you need to do/take. 1.Before the trip 2. Pre race 3. Just before you start. (have that one on the bike) That way you don't need to think under pressure re kit etc - you can just focus on the race. Hope that helps :)

[@nerdslikeus6690]

I think that what you are really feeling is excitement rather than nervousness. When you have this feeling say "I'm excited". Take this emotion and change it into a positive. The way we feel when we are excited vs nervous is the same. Our heartrate goes up adrenaline kicks in etc... The only thing that is different is your mindset. ( How to change anxiety into excitement).

Awesome Juliet, hope it goes well, only just watched this so will check out your next video as it looks like you are out there!!

Since watched him talk online and at the bike show and he is a constant wealth of knowledge on anything biking! Hope it helped.

[@trick700]

I think most folks feel anxious pre-competition…it’s natural. Being on top of it is something to do with how we feel we have prepared to it. I’m pretty sure it’s fairly rare day that anyone turns up at the start line feeling ’dead-on for it’. I try to focus on the doing my best at the next step in the process then I can be sure I will feel that I’ve done my best in the end. Best of luck.

[@110markb]

Hi Juliet. Great video and wonderful to see Mark as well. By admitting that you have a weakness in your superpowers is a start. The question is what are you going to do about it. Reading the book and talking to Mark is that start, but Mark never works alone, he has a trusted team around him. He delegates X part of responsibilities away, he has clean clothes and food in the camper following him. You won’t have that in Morocco. So what you need to do is form a small team to help you get ready for the event, divide up the event starting from home all the way to the airport on the way back. Get another person or persons to organise the odd jobs like getting your food ready, your bike checked and spares, etc. that person doesn’t even need to be a cyclist, if you have a friend who is a party planner, they would work with you, find out what you needs are and they will organise both what needs to be done and when as well as organising you. Get a big white board, not an excel spreadsheet, it needs to be visible and put a big tick next to each task once done. This alone will make you feel better. Words are words and it is nice to read others comments saying that you are not alone with you fears, but today and to be ready for such an event it’s time for tough love. Get a team, all super hero’s have someone looking after their backs. Take care.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Thank you for the suggestion, I really like the idea of the whiteboard and asking for help!

[@Francesco_M.]

So sorry to hear that you in fact feel nervous and anxious prior to some of the big events you attend; I will say I am pretty calm and collected and I'm usually able to map out what I am going to do later. More than willing to accompany you eh! 😄 But I do have my weaker spots in that feelings of sadness will swallow me up sometimes; I suspect it may have something to do with my upbringing. All in all you are tackling some ponderous efforts, the likes of which most people will never even dream of taking on. Take that into consideration and just remember that the people around you will relish your very presence because of your energy and liveliness rather than the rankings at the end of a race. Enjoy your time there, good luck and best of wishes to you Juliet! We will wait for you right here 😃😊 🌝

[@jnrickards]

This is me too but in a completely different realm. However, it seems I could benefit from Mark's book too.

[@davidferry8455]

Solving organization is the key to decreasing anxiety. This means routines and lists. There are maybe twenty steps prepping big rides every day. Ranges from route analysis, charging light, computers, lubing chains, checking hydration, nutrition, clothing assessment.....Once you have a basal routine and checklist the anxiety goes and what remains is performance. The organizational foundation eliminates anxiety, some people just lack the band width to organize but there is no substitute. That is what Beaumont does!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Ok this is good advice. I guess I need to create a system I can stuck to

[@pauljenkins2501]

You need to take David's advice fully to heart. There is nothing more panic inducing than running around in a panic! Especially when you KNOW that you could have avoided it with a bit of organisation and a list or two. Or three. Or however many are appropriate. Best wishes for the race, Juliet.

Darling you are not alone. I was petrified of heights. I did Colorado Outward Bound. My rock climbing instructor told me, “ you are afraid of heights. There is no cure for that. You will always be afraid of heights. The trick is learning how to deal with the fear. This advise helped me quite a bit. (for what it’s worth).

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

that's excellent advice

[@offal]

It`s actually a fear of falling, it can be mitigated, i have this fear i haven`t always had it but it doesn`t effect me when i am in a position at height where i can`t naturally fall, say on a plane, I have mitigated it through my job requiring me to be up 15 meters in an MEWP and I have no fear of it now because my brain knows, it can`t tip, there is a cage around me and i am harnessed in, ladders were always the worst but i can use them now as long as i convince my brain it`s safe. I believe it`s cause by an imbalance in the inner ear that`s why some arn`t affected. so yes you manage it and you will be ok.

[@Alvinaeb]

I'm very much like you and thanks for opening up and sharing the book! I do a trick to myself when the feeling comes on panic, I change focus or throw the thought away and tell myself to stop thinking into this too deep. You have done enough, you are enough just go!

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

try working your way up to it with some smaller events, I went from short 40 minute criteriums to longer road races, to all-dayers to multi-day stage races (supported) fairly gradually. This would be the first self supported endurance after many tiny steps to get here

[@davidmcdonnell2342]

Hi Juliet. As one who has experienced anxiety and panic attacks during moments of stress in my life, it is always interesting to hear of other people's experiences and how they deal with this debilitating problem. Thank you for sharing. The last bad panic episode for me was about 20 years ago just before a 3 week trek in the Himalayas which was nearly ruined due to worry and lack of sleep. Fortunately I got help and some medications, which ironically I didn't even take, but gave me calm just knowing I had them. I have found these days that micro doses of valium can get me through those middle-of-the-night pre-event mind games. I rarely take meds and prefer alternative therapies, but I have to say there are times when it has saved me by lowering the stress level. I hope your trips are fun and rewarding, and as stress free as possible.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Hi David, sorry to hear you have to deal with this too sometimes. Hopefully I will learn to deal with it and not let it get in the way

[@simonfletcher3367]

You are human, and it's natural to get feelings of anxiety before something big... especially as you've been preparing for it for quite a while. I know it's not the same, but I was really nervous on the start line for Ride London earlier this year. It was my first big cycling event and I was convinced I would crash within the first mile. I was absolutely fine once I got going and ended the ride with tears of all manner of emotions when I rouded the last corner and saw Tower Bridge. You'll be absolutely fine too and I can't wait to see the videos of the ride. PS. Don't forget the ginger biscuits in case you feel nauseous 😊

Me too, dark moments when your brain is on overload. It’s like running through mud or tar. Plain Niacin like 125mg to 250mg taken as your feeling locked up.

Well in advance of the event - like now - choose luggage (3 or 4 bags?) Make a list for each bag organized by like-items. Fill the bags. Then all your attention can go to the simple task of the few bags and not the dozens of individual contents.

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

Good idea, thank you

[@trick700]

Here’s an idea about prep…break down each element of packing, for example, each bike bag you fit to bike and then make a check-list of its contents. Then all the bags add up to your complete list and you’ll know you have everything you need. Would this take away the anxiety?

[@JulietElliottsChannel]

It would definitely help. Thank you

[@matauboy]

Juliet, have you ever considered working with a sports psychologist? My son does mixed martial arts and goes through similar things to what you describe. He has worked with a sports psychologist and has learnt all his trigger points and stresses. He's now remarkably calmer and has a relaxed focus as opposed to making multiple visits to the toilet! Personally I'd rather he had some other sport but this has really worked for him.

I am also 65 and been a skier and MTB rider for many,many decades. My fears are based on the actual fails and injuries I have endured over the years, I call it sports PTSD. I ask myself what do I want from my sports at this age? What are my realistic expectations? The mind can say go for it, but the body must handle the outcomes. For me I am focused on being the best version of my 65 year old athletic self and I take no shame in taking less risk if that’s what my gut tells me.

[@BernhardMasterson]

Hi Juliet, I have watched your videos regularly in the past and have picked them up again. How did your prep for Chile go? Do I remember that you have mentioned that you experience ADHD? If not, I'd recommend you looking into it as an important lens and tool to work with your pre-event difficulties. I got officially diagnosed a couple of years ago at 50, and have been studying brain function and health since. I am a bike packer and ocean kayaker. Like you, I am confident of my skills once I'm on the bike or water, but getting there can very much stress me out. For me, organization takes extra effort, lists, time, distractions, etc. Packing frequently involves pulling an all-nighter and the accompanying emotional rollercoaster that is mostly driven by critical self-talk. One of the challenges for those of us with ADHD is the executive function required for emotional control, hence the high frequency of anxiety, depression, and addiction in those with ADHD. I'm not implying that we can control our emotions in the same way we can control our bodies, but I am making progress. I have been focusing my own personal work on finding greater love and compassion for myself and "befriending the demons". Resources that have been particularly helpful for me are the books Evolve Your Brain, by Joe Dispenza, Scattered Minds, by Gabor Mate, The Power of Now, by Eckhart Tolle, and Pema Chodron's talks on Befriending Our Minds. Thank goodness for audiobooks! Also, I have found working with Peruvian shamanism, journey work, and non-ordinary reality to be helpful in accessing and nudging the sub-conscious drivers. I also found that a guided high dose psilocybin journey to be very helpful in changing my awareness, and ability to moderate unhealthy self-talk. All of this combined has helped me create my own meditation practice that I feel is actually allowing me to rewire my brain. After 6 months of diligent meditation, I am seeing small changes in brain function. I expect to be at this for the balance of my life, considering I was operating in full ADHD mode for the first 5 decades. But I could see that without making some serious changes, life was only going to get harder, as evidenced by my own experience and observing the increasing struggles of family members in my parent's generation who certainly have similar wiring. Anyhow, I really enjoy your video content. I feel much empathy for you and the challenges you have shared. Thanks for your openness and honesty. I wish you more easeful event preparations and an unburdened heart/spirit.

Interesting Juliet, not something I ever imagined I'd hear from yourself, as you've always seemed so confident in your abilties. I would say this though, don't give up on hypnosis. As someone who has benefited a huge amount from working with hypnotic phenonmena it sounds to me that you just had a poor practioner. That's to say someone who may have potentially just been working from canned scripts, in my expirience that rarely works well., not taking that time to craft an expirience that would work for you. If you ever wanted to have amore positive expirience I can highly recommend a gentleman by the name of James Tripp. I've witnessed his change work first hand and it's truly exceptional.

Anxiety is learnt behaviour people who have chosen to adopt this label should be anxious that everyone one day may decide to adopt it

[@Roskellan]

Confidence - we have ability, we have a history of achievement whatever that may be, we have ambition towards whatever targets we may set for ourselves. We have a discipline and intelligence (well more you than me I suspect) that allows us to do the training, organisation, preparation we need to do in order for us to strive towards those goals. In the real World though nothing is a given, shit happens, you can't plan for everything, we have our own failings, we make mistakes, we need people around us that help fill some of those gaps when we are unable, and in the end we may come last, we might not even get off the start line - so what. Someone had to come last. Are we going to cry in the corner? Remember Eddy the Eagle, he new how to finish last, did it get him down, I suspect not. Why? Because he was a winner, he did his best and met his goals, he held the British ski jump record for years, he's an athlete they made films about, we should be so lucky. The question at the end of the day, did we do as well as we expected to do, if we didn't, we probably learnt where we could fix that, if the competition is too strong for us then we are really only competing against ourselves. End of the day, exhausting sure, stressful well yes I would think so, but was it a blast, fun, want to have another go. Maybe take a look further down the field where others are struggling with things you have long conquered, help fill a few of their gaps. Everyone struggles, just look at the so called celebs, behind the glitz, there lives a complete fiasco, it is just in this World of social media they hide it so well. Confidence, give yourself some credit, control - yeah right life happens while we make our plan, Winning, only the goal (maybe a nice cup), satisfying for sure (enjoy it when it happens), but you learn nothing from winning, coming in down the field sets your standard and leaves room for the future. Now if only I could do what I preach...............

[@davidadamus177]

I think to some extent fear and anxiety is normal and can be a healthy thing if it's manageable. Very brave to go and get help though, often that's the hardest thing to do. For me, my far while cycling is loose dogs. It's a statewide law here in Georgia that dogs need to be on a leash and under control at all times, yet it is a pervasive problem here. I will pass a house, and a dog comes out of nowhere. Instant panic. Oh crap, is he just running after me? Does he want to bite my arm off? What if it does? Will I be able to get help in time? Will the owner be mad? Do they have a gun? Will the owner threaten to shoot me? Often riding gravel means more loose dogs. I try to motivate it with pepper spray, but don't appreciate the added stress. Heard a story of a lady who was mauled by 3 pit bulls. Luckily not close to my house, but she lost a leg for no reason. So for me, it's dogs, and irrational dog owners. Thankfully it's more the exception than the rule. If people see me coming and catch their dog, I thank them for their courtesy. Most people are reasonable, but you never know.

Perhaps you can try mindfulness meditation to try and learn to detach from your inner monologues. Another angle on it is to appreciate that as a youtuber, drama is always good. No matter what happens, if you totally frack everything up, it provides drama for the 'tube. There is no way you can fail, because when you "fail" it's just another kind of success. So if you can convince yourself that worrying about messing anything up is a total waste of time, because if you do, it'll just provide more story to tell. All you need to do is keep moving. For instance, you worry that you're not "organized", but nobody out here cares. You can be organized or not organized or whatever. If you want to be 100% disorganized, we're all totally fine with that. Try it! Embrace disorganization! Perhaps even purposefully disorganize your personal space. Shove everything into cardboard boxes, higgly piggly. It'll be fun watching you try to find The One Little Thing That Is In Here Somewhere.

My suggestion would be to look at nutrition. The human is designed to run on two fuels. Work by Dr Georgia Ede shows a reduction in anxiety with a low carb diet.
