My Recent Anxiety

[@lalaland962]

This is a great video Chris. Sometimes being human is SO HARD! I'm glad you realized what was going on and knew how to help yourself.

Hi Chris. I feel your pain. My Dr taught me a simple technique to quieten the mind and ground yourself. You may already know. Count backwards from 100 with your breathing. Simple but effective.

[@ChrisSkoyles]

Absolutely that can be a big help. I've normally done box breathing or other grounding exercises but I like the counting backwards one a lot.

Hope you feel better now and again thank for your help on stopping smoking Chris, take care fella 👍

[@ChrisSkoyles]

[@ChrisSkoyles]

Thank you Jeanie, certainly feeling much better now and appreciate what I learned from this in case it happens again!

[@ianwarren4938]

Thanks for this video Chris. My own anxiety has been laying a beat down on me this past week. I don't wish it on anyone but it is helpful to know it happens to the best of us and I'm not alone.

[@ChrisSkoyles]

Sorry to hear about your anxiety Ian, hope you're starting to feel better? You're definitely not alone with this!

I once heard a Rabbi quote an ER doctor: " Don't just do something, sit there!"

[@ChrisSkoyles]

Amen to that!

I'm getting ready to.move. I had a weak moment. I smoked a cigarette. I'm so mad at myself. I was out walking my dog and a guy said hi and he was smoking. I asked him for one. It tasted awful but kind of calmed me.

[@ChrisSkoyles]

Hi Veronica, just catching up with comments but hope you're doing OK since this. Please don't beat yourself up, you can certainly get back to your quit and make a success of it

[@madison_drew]

This is happening to me right now...again lol 😆 so glad u get it, but stretching helps!

[@giannospetrou1706]

I don't know you but i like you very much chris(not like that jesus)😄 ps: i stopped smoking 1,5 months ago and i smoked yesterday i feel it like a lapse and i have control over it, still want to quit i hope i don't go back to it. Controlling my mind is hard but beautiful because it proves i'm not brainless 👍

[@ChrisSkoyles]

Sorry to hear about your lapse Giannos, but no doubt you'll be able to get back in control. If you've been able to do it for one and a half months, you've proven you can do it again.

[@dcpc5980]

😂 Goo phase. So relatable. Feel better.

[@ChrisSkoyles]

Thanks DC, certainly feeling much better now :)

[@madison_drew]

[@ChrisSkoyles]

It's such an awful feeling isn't it? Hope you're doing OK Madison!

[@madison_drew]
