When I'm starting to feel dread or frustration from work, I used to start finding myself thinking about how much I hated my job and almost repeat it like a mantra in my head, to "get through it." But a couple weeks ago I stopped myself from thinking that way and instead tried telling myself that I love my job and enjoy doing it. And what do you know, it helped a ton. I started feeling more excited about it and working overtime because I was having so much fun. I didn't really know why it worked, but this video gave me the answer I didn't know I needed. Thanks!!

@@yugenheorte6828 Segmenting -- or "chunking" as it's sometimes called -- absolutely helps. I was miserable at my previous job (retail sucks), and many days I dreaded even going in because it felt like I would be miserable forever sometimes. But then I started chunking: instead of "I have 8 hours left", I'd think to myself, "I have 4 chunks left". Even though I knew that I considered a chunk to be 2 hours, thinking there were only "4" units left felt much better than thinking there were 8.

Evil Sharkey Absolutely agree. Take social anxiety for example, even if you know deep down there's nothing to worry about, or what's triggering it, there's no way you're going to be able to to convince yourself "you're excited" about it. Any sort of phobia is going to be the same way. And yeah, I can certainly the delayed reactions. 9/10 my anxiety hits after the fact, or at least gets the worst. Anything leading up to it you totally can though, and talking yourself through it before can help ease things. Sometimes pushing yourself in is all you can do.

This idea literally changed my life growing up. When I was getting ready for my first speech ever, with my schools speech team, my coach asked if I was “scared or excited”. She then asked me to turn that extra energy (making me shake and sweat with anxiety) into file to project my voice and increase my stage presence. It actually somehow worked. I still get anxious about public speaking to this day, but use the way I THINK about the anxiety to try and redirect it into positive energy. It doesn’t work all the time but that one event in high school has helped me so much in life.

I have an anxiety disorder and I find this stuff to be very useful. While it can't be applied broadly to the disorder, being mindful of it can help in not forming harmful associations in certain contexts. For example, I have come to associate a raised heart rate and heavier breathing with anxiety, meaning I can experience great discomfort or even an onset of panic when exercising or reaching an orgasm. It's by remembering that the heart rate and breathing has become a "false queue", so to speak, that I am able to gradually train these kind of associations away. Having an anxiety disorder means fighting a million enemies, and if I can find any tools to aid in the battle against a few of them, I take them.

Personal experience about this, which I didn't know had a name or was actually a thing: I grew up a stage kid. I was part of a theatre group, had my own rock band like everyone does in high school, I was one of the main cast in a musical that was pretty big locally. I was that kid, beaming and bouncing on their feet behind the curtain, counting down the seconds to go in. All that, running up to my 18th year. After that, studies got hard and demanding and pretty much all my time went into that. My twenties were also a time of anxiety and undiagnosed depression. When, at around 25, I was asked to fill in as Jocaste for a friend who got injured for a run of three performances, I thought... Hell yeah! And thanks for the opportunity! It took me completely by surprise to find myself feeling so terrified on stage I was seriously considering how to work exiting the stage smoothly into the scene because I felt like I was going to throw up any moment. It didn't happen, but the experience was very unpleasant. And unsettling. And obviously, it threw me off for the next ones. Which didn't feel any better. I did the thing. I wanted to do the thing. And yet. TERROR. When the opportunity arose a few months later, it kind of felt the same, except I could tell myself I made it through the last times and no one in the audience noticed. It helped a bit. And then. One day. I got mad. Because I was thinking back to my first musical, and how I was feeling now that I would be incapable of singing a single note because my throat would close up on me for sure. And it made me sad. And that made me ANGRY. I thought, why?!? Remember how you enjoyed it so much? How you felt like you were floating for hours on end after that. Get that back. It was you! It's still you! It's in there somewhere. Find it. It's already here. And. Yeah. I'm still tensed and nervous when I go on stage because I'm not 15 anymore and much more self conscious than my teenage self. But it helped. I... I guess I refused to accept the reality of stage fright. I refused that it staying was a fatality. I DECIDED that I was going to bring that excited kid back because I still loved it and I was still that person. And it helped so much. I didn't know it had a term attached to it. Wasn't aware I was using a technique that was more universal. But now that I know I might try to use that on other aspects, other feeling resets that could be useful.

Personally I found that turning my anxiety or situational fear into an existential fear helped me relax in situations such as interviews, presentations or even social interactions with people. By replacing the negative uncontrollable anxiety with a conscious anxiety (fear of death) I managed to find acceptance and calmness in those situations. On the other hand I tended to feel too neutral in the process which was not in my favour if the situation required me to show excitement and eagerness ie. concerts or public speaking... it would be pretty cool if I could turn anxiety into excitement and better my performance by that. To be honest I found replacing anxiety with a bigger anxiety could have a toll on my psyche and stopped me from fully enjoying myself

Has there been any research into whether the appraisal technique can help with anxiety disorders? Anxiety before public speaking and anxiety because you might have made the less good of two choices are not the same thing.

Yeah, I've tried that. Telling myself it's just my body's way of being prepared for anything, getting geared up. Doesn't work.

Tony Robbins has been teaching how to apply this for 30 years. Physiology + language + focus/belief = your emotional state at any given moment. Not something you can necessarily do instantly without any practice, especially if you're already neck-deep in a disempowering state or just cynical. What you can do is learn how to tweak your physiology, choose your self-talk, and assign more constructive meanings to things as they happen so your state doesn't spiral. I applied principles from his book and two of his audios to overcome paralyzing social anxiety when I was 22. Search "Tony Robbins emotional triad" and you'll find something helpful. Cynics can disregard this comment.

The "How to" part of the title doesn't really seem to have been addressed. It's great that appraisal can be changed, but what practical steps can help to actually do that?

Emotional reappraisal can work in other direction too, allowing positive experiences to cause negative emotions. So, like with any delusion, it depends on how and where you use it.

Does this works both ways? Can you reinterpret excitement as anxiety?

Aris Nikoletopoulos Possibly. Just the presence of physical arousal (such as from exercise) has been known to trigger panic attacks in people who have previously experienced panic attacks.

Were those just normal people who were just put into an anxiety inducing anxiety or do they have anxiety? Because there is a huge difference and I feel that would affect the study
