Tap Yo Legs.

[@drumshero03]

Every now and then, I come back to this channel. Superman socks, changed my life, like 8 years ago or something.

[@gizatsby]

Yes and I still sing Sunflower often. I think he's a big part of how I became who I am today, especially his solo channels.

[@pixelnpaper]

This is great advice with scientific backing too. It is related to "breaking the freeze". When every you feel a panic attack or just panic, if you "break the freeze" you can get past the panic and start to feel so much better, and even knowing that you have an action you can do to break the attack makes them happen less often to never again for a lot of people. It is all related to way back when we were around surviving by avoiding huge predators like lions, if we saw one near by our instinct was to freeze until the danger left and we could then run away. So now there are no literal lions to freeze for, and no actual way to finally run away from so many things that can cause us panic. So if you feel the freeze, break it by jumping jacks or jogging in place or any kind of contracting your large muscles like you are running, then your brain will think you escaped the predator and can calm down.

[@hatorigirl1202]

In choir and voice lessons we were taught something kind of similar but different. When you get nervous on stage, reach for the hem of your pants, or the sides of your skirt. It gives you a place to put nervous energy that doesn't affect the performance. It does also have that effect of bringing your thoughts out of the air back into your head to focus on yourself instead of the audience.

[@mynamesjustMaddy]

you have been spreading such genuineness and kind heartedness to millions of people here for so many years and you still manage to do it so well. thank you since 2010 nice peter.

[@fedeson01]

Didn't realize how much I missed these videos until they came back, thank you for their return!

[@Sluske123]

Thank you for coming back on youtube, you have no idea how much happiness your videos bring me. Much love :D

[@achegal90]

you know what also helps when you feel the crazy comin out? your videos man

[@RicochetRita1989]

I can't even find the words to tell you how much this is helping my anxiety...

[@jelkhry]

I've had anxiety for the last two days about what to do with my life and all that. Many what ifs and all that so this video came in just about perfect for me. Thank you peter, you really helped.

[@TheTramil]

as of today, I still, once in a while, go back to the sunflower song. you make me smile Peter. thank you. thank you so much.

[@Cayden-m4y]

Damn are you alive

Peter Ive been a fan for about 6+ years now and i just want to say Ive always loved you! You always make my day better ❤️

[@NixLaser]

Yo Peter, just wanted to tell you I really like all of your recent videos. You just talking to us off the cuff and singing some song is really all I want need and expect of this channel. have a nice day :)

[@Kblocker44]

I'm so glad you're back to making videos! Short and sweet! Sending good vibes

[@mik-exe-]

Pete, you have a deviously and simplistically poignant way of portraying so much with seemingly so little. Your style is mesmerising. I love these videos. They're so authentic and I can feel that love, warmth and passion you've been talking about.

[@righteousbyreason]

ugh! your videos and descriptions are so calming and peaceful Thank you for doing these again!!

[@jacklinchey8478]

Peter making 3 videos in one week? Is this heaven?

[@RickardLejonhjarta]

I've been in therapy for a rather long time now, its.. its tough sometimes. I want you to know Peter that you have been one of the pieces of the puzzle that keeps me together. Never forget what you have brought to the world. Thank you.

[@DB98000]

so happy you're talking to us more! as someone who really struggles with anxiety this sounds like it's worth a shot! thanks Pete!

[@tiesbeer]

Well I'll be dammed! That IS where my legs are!

[@LucDeCarr]

Thank you for being back! You're the reason I started watching KZbin so many years ago and it makes me so happy to see you back, helping us as you have always done

[@Hillbilly2833]

i missed seeing your face and hearing your pisitivity so much Peter. Im a long time viewer, even have me a pair of your signed sunglasses and a shirt. You always remind me not to take life and myself too seriously, and im so glad your makiny videos for you again. Cant wait to see more

[@malcolmvanstralen3474]

Hey man! Don't know how often you come back to read these - but I think part of what you are describing is this really cool thing called mindfulness. You should look it up - it can help with both long-term and short-term stress, as well as just being a nice way to appreciate where you are at that second. Anywho, thanks for the ERB content! I also miss your older content on your first channel (I've been a fan for a long time) but I get how life can be. Much love!

[@randarookaboom76]

Thank you for being a positive force. I'm so happy you have come back to help everyone through this. ❤

[@matthewdunnuck9998]

Peter, you might not even read this due to how busy you are but on the off chance you do see this.... Thank-you! You're inspiration helped me survive through high school. Every week I would watch your monday show and if it wasn't monday I would watch the same one over and over just to remind myself that there are good people in the world. Now that I am a senior in college I can almost honestly say if it wasn't for your youtube videos, something so small, I might not be alive right now. I am glad you are well and I hope you get all the energy this universe can muster, becasue you deserve it! Thank-you again.

[@ThePisceanDragon]

My therapist gave me a similar coping technique. Close your eyes, roll them the the back of your head and think, "cancel cancel". It kinda short circuits your brain so you can take a breath, clear your thoughts for a second, and interrupt the despair spiral. It's important to keep a clear head when you need to fight for what's important to you and those you love.

[@StuffedBear]

Love you Peter, thanks for popping up when we need a hug.

[@Askjerry]

Sounds like a song... maybe... "This is where my legs are..."

[@DougSalad]

hello Nice Peter. my name is Alex, we met at your concert in Seattle in 2014. you always brighten my days.so.much with these videos. it would really brighten my, and I feel a lot of other peoples', day if we could hear you sing "You've Got a Friend in Me". =)

[@MissLilyputt]

I've gone to a therapist too. It really helped me get past would've, could've, and if only's that kept me from living.

[@londojellyfish]

Example #3,000 of why I love KZbin and you man

[@Jj-op5ff]

them legs touch ya down to the ground. root ya to the world. your connection to everything else

[@choodledoodlers]

Peter I'm so happy you're back, in whatever iteration you choose. I just love sitting here fullscreen feeling like I'm being talked to by someone I greatly respect and admire but haven't seen around too much lately. Love you always bro

[@rachelmolina5051]

I'm loving the consistency in these videos

[@RolloKnox]

I've always appreciated your positivity man. Ever since your Stickam days. Yeah I remember your Stickam days. good times. Anyway, I just wanted to say, thanks for always being so... nice. (pun intended)

[@RolloKnox]

While I'm still thinking about it... You should do live streams on youtube. and make up songs from the chat like you did on stickam. those were so much fun.

[@forsidious]

I always just feel happy after watching your videos....I don't know what it is or really understand why, but you make me happy. Always have. Just needed to say that because I don't think I've said it before.

[@DoctorWhat78]

It can't rain all the time. ♥

[@JackieHall71]

I am loving all of these vlogs! Thank you so much for the tip. Changing your prospective is key to helping yourself. Going to therapy is awesome. I have only gotten to go a couple of times and would go back for sure if I was ever at the point I was in my life. Even going now would be good. Being introspective and finding out more about you and how you tick is a good thing. Improving yourself is always a good thing.

[@jmar834]

It's been so crazy to pass through life and have a person to just check-in with once in a while. Thanks for the updates, advice, and energy all these years, Peter! Gotta keep the love train going!

[@Cerothel]

Ill give this a try next time. Thanks Peter. Have a beautiful day today.

[@sunnyblonde93]

I hope this doesn't come off as judgmental or derogatory because it comes from a place of care and understanding due to the conditions in which we are living, but literally before watching this video I was thinking "I wonder if Peter has considered seeing a therapist" and then when I opened the video the words out of your mouth were "so the very first time I went to see a therapist.." I honestly replayed the beginning immediately to make sure I heard right. lol. I don't know where your heart and your head are right now, Peter, but I hope you're doing okay. And I hope the leg tapping continues to work. And if it isn't enough I hope you do find what you need to keep on keepin on.

[@monthbeforemaylover]

these vlogs are calming and a reminder that everything will work out fine

[@Hunteresting.]

Beautiful to see you back at it again Peter, been with me for years in my heart and soul. Keep lookin' up

[@blaketrahan7791]

Thank you peter, this video means a lot to me. I've been a fan of yours for a really long time (way longer than ERB) and it makes me so happy to see you doing videos again. Thank you

[@harmonie1872]

Missed you Peter. Therapeutic genuine words for everyone.

[@twelge15]

Nice anectdotal video Peter! I Miss the old Station 2 Vlogs with you, Beck Bennet, and Kassem. What I would give for a video of You and Kassem on tour, in a Blimp he bought to search for Bigfoot between gigs, hahaha.

[@derekmalaney6945]

Thank you for giving us these videos - appreciate you outreach

[@cyberdan662]

Peter you are so wonderful I wish there was a way I could help you for all the times you have helped me

[@theohewett]

I feel like you could make a really happy song called 'This is where my legs are'

[@ArcadeProductions]

Theo Hewett It would! Im gonna give it a shot!

[@MarchalisVan]

Something close to what I have to do when someone else imposes a philosophical rant that drives me nuts. It's all just words in the mind. Bring everything back to the real world and feel something that's real, and go from there. Stay grounded.

[@ThisNarrowboatAdventure]

hey Peter , I really needed this video today, politics have gone mad! there is a lot of uncertainty but I know where my legs are and that helped. thanks dude

[@JoshEssex]

This was such a cool video. Like seriously. Such a great little detail to share with everyone. Thank you!

[@qtpie92484]

I really dig this Pete. Keep your chin up and keep pushing through. You will become a stronger person in the end. Much love from Georgia 💜

Your videos are so therapeutic

[@1incutheta]

So many Peter videos lately! This makes me happy!

[@Sweetreleasemusic25]

so happy you're back :) hope you stay a while!

[@darkchocolate1083]

Would you ever consider doing Malcolm X vs. Magneto for erb? Great video by the way it lightened up my day

[@SadikiStGeorgeangemon44]

Magneto vs Malcom x and or Daft Punk vs Blues Bros

[@nicepeter]

We almost did. It had an unbalance to it, they are so different, and oh...wait...magneto, wow, that's interesting, we always looked at professor x vs Malcolm x, magneto eh? Battle of how to deal with oppression and justice effectively , hmmm

[@forgetfulstranger]

+nicepeterToo Pete, if you ever do have Malcolm X in a rap battle, you should use the viner meechonmars cuz damn they're doppelgangers

this makes up for the monday show absense

[@Tobingtons]

boby There was a Monday show this week

[@Jordan64Games]

Tobingtons he meant as when we didn't get videos for a long period of time.

Bro pls upload again! I know you are on ERB but pls upload!

Glad to see you again! Helpful advice, thanks man!

[@glynswift65]

Thanks for that man. it actually came when I needed something like this most.

[@VedderGirrl]

sending a huge hug your way, love you pete!

[@Delmastron]

Really enjoying theae videos, Nice Pete. Please keep it up (if it's what you want to do) and keep rocking.

[@IlastarothTayre]

I am going to try this, and as always I hope the best for you. Have a terrific day xxx

[@heathermadilene]

Another is to use hold your thumb. I think what all of these do is to cause a break in the train of anxiety and place you back into where you are. It's like when those with PTSD have an episode, you offer them a glass of water or distract to bring them back.

[@rachelmolina5051]

also I really wish this video was up yesterday, I could of used it for midterm test anxiety, solid advice

[@JuanJDuenas]

"So... what's next?" You Decide.

[@TheAmazingKoki]

Oh wow. I just realized I always do this when there's something I need to get over. Like leaving for something that I don't really wanna go to, but kind of do.

[@boboblaw]

your videos are so great man, i missed this :)

[@jigsawjoe]

nice peter making me think about stuff once again thank you

[@tgs40]

3 days in a row?! What is happening?!

[@nicepeter]

You know what's happening, the question is, what are we doing to make it better for someone who needs our help? Use your power, use your love, share it and give it away, you cannot run out. You have more love to give every time you give it away.

[@thelazymanatee2506]

It's just like that Budhist??? quote. Happiness is like a candle. The fire never decreases when shared, and neither does your happiness. Keep sharing Peter, you're a beautiful human, and my life is better because of you. (and I'll share that!)

thank you Peter. i needed that today.

[@Ingerztyle]

Another great trick to use if you're feeling anxious or stressed is this little attention distraction: Look around you and find Five things you can see. Four things you can touch. Three things you can hear. Two things you can smell. One thing you can taste. Stay Positive

[@ThisNarrowboatAdventure]

"That's a start, This is where I'm standing, This is where I'm sitting, I'm not getting rained on." - could be a short poem. Its hard not to freak out sometimes, I always check in with my self, am i thirsty, when did I last eat, am I tired? if I need to do any of those things I do them before trying to solve any problems. Have you listened to Mary and Dantes podcast about the result? Mary said something along the lines of 'I hope Campaign Trump is not the same as acting president trump ', I am clinging to that. and photos of dogs dressed as bees. I find them soothing.
