If you feel on edge right now, you’re not alone.
But that doesn’t mean you have to let that anxiety or nervousness take control of your life. You’re probably wondering, “So how am I supposed to do that Mel?”
Every morning, I want you to high five your heart.
In this video with ‪@jayshetty‬, I explain exactly what that means.

[@SL-vv3xy]

I’m okay I’m safe I’m loved.

[@1smg346]

I'm a killer I'm a bad motherfucker I'm a savage

[@hillanderson6503]

no. universe is pointless. we are a random accident of meaningless hurtling through a endless void of emptiness racing to nowhere, but a cold blue death as our sun gives up hope

[@ludlow7369]

​DAMN! That was impressive! I'll bet you made sure you live close to a bridge. Am I right?

[@bemsnest]

​@@hillanderson6503 Negativity pulls people down easily. Please choose not to pull yourself and others down.

[@ro_boat]

​@@bemsnest Amen to that!

[@carolenabobo8903]

I was a little emotional when I saw this but I did not expect what happened to happen. I bursted into tears at “I am ok”- crying harder & harder for about a dozen reps before I could say it without crying. I waited until I could say it 3X without crying- & I did, but I am crying again now. I am going to do this daily, thank you❤

That's a scary quote when you apply it to anything else tbh lmao

This is wonderful too. Thank you for sharing

[@carlapedroso943]

I'm ok, I'm safe, I'm loved💜

[@RachelleislikeWOAH]

During the last two years sometimes I would lay in bed and envision the next bad thing that was going to happen. I'd have to repeat to myself , today was a good and normal day, I am safe right here and I am grateful for this moment. Not the exact same but it helped me calm down when I would spiral.

[@Rose77745]

❤❤❤~I have this posted on my bulletin, and read this all the time~Thanks Mel ❤️❤️❤️

[@lisasargent2841]

Hi Mel, You have hit the nail on the head about living through the last few years. Our world has seriously turned inside out. It is a shitty mess & so are most people's lives right now. Thank you for helping alot of people. You're one of the best!!!🕊🥺

[@aNGxL-]

I learnt about the vagus nerve due to a heart condition. That knowledge became a blessing for me when. I suddenly suffered from GAD. Our bodies are amazingly complex. Knowledge is power. Know your body. ❤️

[@KirstyMcCulloch]

Just. WOW. I am loving this woman's practical wisdom.

[@angelinaghrist3489]

I did this with a group of kids ages 5-14 at an event. It was wonderful to see 100% of the kids to do this and crave tools to get through their days. Thank you! I'll be doing this with every event. Thank you!

[@tabj2615]

The part of “I’m loved” brought me to tears, not gonna lie.

[@viviangonzales6109]

I have tears rolling down my face.

[@shanagirl33]

Thank you Mel. I’m rereading the High Five Habit for the third time. Your words are priceless.

[@deewilson446]

Probably the most helpful video of ANY! Giving someone a way out of fear is very much needed these days! Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@firdoussultana5525]

That's amazing ! Thank you so much ! Another point to note is that when we place hands on our chest, oxytocin gets produced in our bodies (the calm hormone, or happy hormone. ) In our culture, when we pray everyday, we place our hands on the chest and recite somewhat similar affirmations, invoking the help of the Divine and His Mercy. It makes me feel so relieved and calm, especially when I'm going through anxieties or feeling depressed, or feeling afraid. It feels like a very warm and gentle hug !

[@AnoushaSpeaks]

If your muslim you gave me some insightful information!!!

[@SaltandPaprika]

Hi Mel, last Saturday I woke up with extreme euphoria and energy after months of anxiety and depression as well as daily suicide thoughts. Since then the energy has dwindled down, but I constantly feel euphoria with enhanced senses like taste ,pleasure, driving. My eyes even feel alert. And I've even caught myself randomly smiling. Conflicts and things that don't go right are not bothering me like they were. It feels good right now.

[@michellepigoni7999]

You are my inspiration every day. Thank you for sharing yourself.

I wish I can share all your videos with my friends and family in Ecuador! We need this content for Spanish speakers too! 🤞

[@BOGOTAROCKSTAR]

Never. We cannot have a loser mentality, nor Cristal mind. Culturally we made out of steal.

[@ginab2689]

Send it to them anyway! Besides the idk- ambient sense of Mel’s videos maybe they will also learn a new language :)😮

[@janesoncanvas8337]

I’ve always been positive. But the pandemic put a protective coating on my heart and emotions. I love this. Thank you for this. You get it. I’m there!

[@meditationandrelaxationhome]

Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health.

[@kittycatmommy2364]

I'm okay, I'm safe, I'm loved♥️

[@lovingatlanta]

👍🫶I’ve been doing something similar for the last 10 years. I have a mantra I repeat over and over…. “All is well, in this moment all is well”. I keep repeating it until I’m calm or fall asleep. Sometimes I say it when I’m stressed and can’t sleep, while meditating, or I hugging myself by crossing my hands/arms over my shoulders while laying down. It forces me to stay present in the moment and clear my mind. Wishing you all the very best. 🙏🫶💫✨💝

[@occo9072]

That would be like an old dear friend of mine who used to hold me and say "You're alright. Everything is fine. You're ok," when I was scared or feeling weak. I miss him so much.

[@phoebecastleberry5844]

Can I borrow your friend? I’m glad you’ve had experienced that level of friendship and love.

[@fairykween333]

i’ve been having heart palpitations and other breathing problems that put me in the ER 4 times in a week. doctors keep telling me it’s anxiety and although i don’t feel what anxiety feels normally to me i know they are most likely right. i am going to hopefully try this and my breathing go back to normal.

[@patriciabrewer4659]

She is so wise!!!😊❤

[@jaelineswan7340]

I once read in a medicane journal that taking a deep, conscious breath is like giving your own heart a hug. Break that down scientifically and it actually makes total sense.

[@astromama3474]

You're right! Nobody can possibly fix a broken zipper. My nervous system can no longer sustain this level of stress. I don't want to lose this skirt and will just have to hire a professional because "I'm ok, I am safe and I am loved".

I couldn't say I am loved without wanting to cry. Because I am not loved. Only I love me and that flame has been dying for as long as I can remember.

My pre nursing science classes is my toolbox that’s handy whenever I’m in situations like that which are on every day basis. The thing is when we know that we’re not ready for something yet we persisting against all odds that we’re will be somehow ready for that particular success. Thank you for being supportive and assertive at times .❤

[@melrobbins]

Thank you so much for the support xo

[@ConstantCompanion]

I have a thing I do in times like this. Right or wrong, it seems to work. There's an old Star Trek episode where they encounter a thing that looks like a giant piece of okra. It eats everything in its path. They couldn't get around it, so the captain that lost the most decided that he was going to be the one to end it. He took his ship, damn the torpedos and rammed right down the throat of it. It blew up and that was the end of the giant piece of okra. That's kind of how I see things like this. Either ram it down the throat or spend the rest of your life tiptoeing, waiting for it to eat you. I know. Very sophisticated, but it seems to work for me.

[@laurabarber6697]

Face your fears!💝😎💝

[@marthamalik1542]

So love this. Thank you❤

[@Wildflowerfire]

I’m really rooting for you. I’ve seen a bunch of your shorts and I agree with you that it’s time for not just powerful women voices in the space, but voices that fill an absence that is very tangible. I agree that you are on it. Constructively I encourage you to stop using everyone and other forms of absolutes that are simply not true. You do this frequently. It would be an easy shift that I think would make you come across much more clearly. I don’t mean to pick on you, I just think language does matter and it’s important to make statements That don’t cloud issues with internal contradictions. Thank you for being you. On several occasions in particular you are speaking right into my weaknesses and I am grateful.

My insurance was unfortunately taken away as my hubby lost his job and mine doesn't offer insurance. I did my last therapy session and the therapist let me know my anxiety is so severe due to my trauma... I didn't believe her. I did this exercise and I just cried and cried.
