What’s one thing you do to beat anxiety?

[@vickywankhede4945]

Daru pori

[@me0101001000]

I read. Sometimes to learn, other times for pleasure. I actually have a book recommendation: The Artist's Way, by Julia Cameron. I just finished this one recently. I'd say it made a real dent in my anxiety.

Trail run.

Change my scenery, change my mindset. Go for a walk in the daytime, in the evening, go in a different room. Because worrying about things doesn't change them. Try to make peace with the things I cannot change. Make a plan for the things I can change. Sometimes making a plan takes away the anxiety.

Wow, I have been suffering from GAD for 40 years and have been hospitalised because of it. I've been on various meds, which made me worse, and I can say hand on heart listening to you guys for the 18 minutes has made me finally realise where my anxiety comes from 🤯 I felt instantly relieved and calm for the first time in years! I am not going to be that guy anymore ❤🙏🙏🙏💯❤️

I think John is phenomenal with how he explains why are bodies are acting in a particular way. Very simplistic and relatable. 👏

[@paullajackson4482]

This episode really spoke to me. I was recently in a relationship where I had anxiety EVERY SINGLE DAY. When he ended it, I was broken, I felt lost, and I was ready to just give up. I knew I was sick, but I didn't realize how physically sick I was at that time. When the relationship ended, I suddenly realized I no longer had anxiety. In the last couple of months, now that I know why I am physically sick, I have been able to focus on me and my health. I realized I was so focused on the relationship and how to make him happy, I ignored my body and mind and how sick I really was. Now, I'm slowly getting healthier and I know I would never have been able to do that in a relationship. Thank you for all you guys do! ❤

“Kids cannot carry the emotional regulatory weight of their parents.” The stark truth of these words hit me, both as a mother and an only child of parents who were themselves shaped by trauma. Changing the pattern - making sure it does not continue to replicate - is my life’s work.

[@ninatickles7460]

Pause and take a deep breath. Go out in nature. Live in the moment. Appreciate little things in life in front of you

Really hard to find someone on your right and left that you can trust. Never had a close friend my entire life.

[@carrad123456]

Over time I am finding that highly sensitive people, whether HSP or empath or even ones with sensory processing disorder get stressed, get into anxiety and depression faster. It is painful to see truthful, lovely people going into it. Even bipolar disorder many a times happens to sensitive people only.

[@TedNemeth]

Damn this guy is good. Wow. He so perfectly encapsulates VERY difficult complex issues about the human mind & mental health. I’m in the process of starting to pivot my KZbin channel to focus on mental health for creators. I’ve spent 10 years studying Buddhism, the Greek philosophers, Taoism, etc and their modalities with calming the anxious mind. Buying John’s book now. Great conversation. Thank you!

[@kennethbailey9853]

Thank you So Much ! 🙂

Brilliant show, thank you 🎉

Love this!

[@johnmorgan7989]

With me I fear of becoming old and irrelevant. I'm 48 and my kids don't really need me as much any more. My wife isn't really interested in me. I'm terrified about my dad getting ill and dying. My job is boring and the future just fills me with dread. I wake up every single night at 2 and am just hit with a tidal wave of anxiety and that's it. No more sleep, every single night

[@CJ-sv9yt]

Same.. we are aging you are relevant your kids need you your wife is interested in you you need to show interest in her. Hopefully your dad never gets ill and when he does depart it's quickly without pain and suffering. Change your job if you love what you do it never feels like work. Ever since I moved back to my parents house the same thing has been happening to me I have the same issues. I don't have kids I don't have a husband I hate my job My parents are aging My mom is chronically ill and her health is deteriorating everyday. I feel hopeless and I dread everyday. Great Bod by the way 😅 Don't give up I'm not.

[@johnmorgan7989]

@@CJ-sv9yt thanks. Hang in there and keep fighting. Even when life is miserable you've got to get up and keep going.

[@bryantjenks3598]

All the things you really can’t control. My main anxiety that causes most of my stress is trying to control things that are really out of my power.

[@susanmullins7713]

A male? Thanks I didn't know they could feel❤

[@johnmorgan7989]

@@susanmullins7713 unless they're a psychopath men feel just as scared and anxious about life as everyone else

Would love to see a minimalist take on Epicurus philosophy of good living.

[@RiteOn]

Well . . . I just went through a couple of weeks experiencing intense anxiety. What I discovered was that I had gradually decreased my caloric intake [need around 1800 calories per day and I had dropped to 1500]. One of those days I ate 368 and "thinking" that I was achieving some positive results. But I was so wrong. When I realized it wasn't the coffee, because I quit drinking the coffee but the anxiety remained, it dawned that I was eating much less than I had been. I increased where I had cut back and the change was instantaneous. How ya'll determine that anxiety is all psychologically based as apposed to physical is a wonder. That environmental safety is the focus when the reality is that a good portion of it is nutritional makes me wonder.

[@bryantjenks3598]

As he said, anxiety is like a fire alarm and you need to find out why it is going off. Your was because of the lower calorie input. If you are at 1800 calories already you would have to look at other issues. Maybe the am. Jett is trying to reach a weight loss goal that is not sustainable.

[@jenniferlee9029]

Sir do you have a video on sleep anxiety?

[@EllieBloo]

I love this.

[@cbogan8721]

That’s very interesting. What if people with high anxiety are actually spiritual messengers?

Oh! I like that man’s words! 🔥

[@MW-rn1vg]

Disagree with most of his advice but I still appreciate the work y'all do.

[@comicblock]

this is all confusing i never get to understand how this works, anxiety hits then i think ok that means something is wrong, i know what is wrong most of the time, and i know what i want to do to lower that anxious feeling, but how do i know that what needs to be done is not out of fear? how do i know that i just want to be comfortable hence i need to actually go through the thing instead of backing off?

Anxiety = fear. It is not philosophical.
