So to recap, your nerves are sensitised. The brain is throwing all kinds of pro survival thoughts at you to keep you alive and safe. You can’t stop the thoughts, that’s the mechanics of the mind. But then there’s thinking. Thinking is engaging, and you are actively doing that, you can control that, it’s rumination, an active process. When you engage with the thoughts by thinking about it, so the brain says this must be important, and send you more thoughts around that. The brain just wants you focused on negative stuff so you know what to avoid. When you engage with the thought you reinforce it, and it becomes a habit very quickly. Remember you are not your thoughts, and that there’s nothing to engage.
what if the thinking is scary and i try to remain calm as its just a thought i will never do things?? it will go away as you are feeling scared at the same time?
@@nanamiinmewassup, I think that if your scared it will still stick around, I would say with the more exposure you give to yourself, the less you fear it, and you have to be brave and trust yourself
Im struggling very very dark and disturbing intrusive thoughts. Sometimes I feel like a monster. Since 1 week they are stucked in my head and I feel so bad because of that. But God gives me hope. I know that these Throughts aren't myself
I am so far in this fight or flight response that I wake up in the middle of the night with intrusive thoughts, and when I try to calm my thoughts down with meditation, breathing etc, my body starts responding instead with heart racing as if I am in a life threatening situation. It's crazy, I didn't know this is called anxiety, I thought I was loosing my mind. It's definitely caused by years of trauma in my case, as I know exactly when it started. I was fine before. Good to know that it can be healed as it is really stressful.
Intrusive thoughts are very simple to handle once you know how. Don’t obsess over them everyone gets them. It doesn’t make you a bad person if get you het them. They’re just thoughts they can’t harm you or anybody else. I’ve not had one for over 12 years. Very simple just see them as thoughts they aren’t who you you are. They soon melt away CBT gives the tools. But in therapy you must embrace them don’t fight them it will make things worse. Once you do they will soon go and you will feel better take cae
I hate to say this, but I’m so glad to see how many other people have this issue. I read something that said only 2% of people suffer with this. That being said, I’m only glad, because now I don’t feel so alone. Definitely don’t wish this on anyone. I hope we all get the help we need and learn to deal with this.

About 3 minutes into the video I realized something. I had a very negative experience and almost did something I would have regretted doing the rest of my life because of an intrusive thought, thank God I didn’t do it but now I’m having intrusive thoughts related to it, I realized my brain is training me to have a negative connection with those types of things so that I never do anything I would regret.

Ive been having inrusive thoughts, the more the anxiety the worse they got. when i thought nothing could be worse, there would be another one even more scary that i didn't even expect my brain could develop in the first place. utter shock and anxiety. then the negative thought loops of me trying to solve it all, reason with it, deny or dismiss or fight with it. plus the anxiety in body makes it all feel so real. it only gets worse until and unless u decide to actively detach yourself from it again and again. it takes time to bring these bad thoughts in line with other normal thoughts. but just don't engage. i love the fact that he said, after a while the brain will take your lack of attention as a signal to not produce such a thought in the first place. i needed that. its like ive found a way to stop it from the root. thanks.

Its the thoughts that seem to send u into a panic sprial..... If u get a belly issue, or you wake up groggy and a bit "dizzy" most people woukd just carry on. But when youre sensitive your brain starts "oh no ..here we go ...youll neber get better, yourr going to struggle for ever, bla bla bla" These damn intrusive thoughts start the cycle every time. My dad, RIP, used to joke and say: "If we had no brains, think of how happy we would all be"😂 He was right. Anxiety is so much about the mind and how you creste your own hell. Stress, worry, planning, not planning, habbits, fear, grief. All mind.

Ive been having anxieties and insecurities because lots of things badly happen to me which also i feel that any mistakes i do is a big thing for myself: i can never forgive myself or cant move on. Its been YEARS that i have this problems and right now im trying to recover. Im struggling.
Thank you for this video, I'm slowly recovering from the physical symptoms of anxiety and it's been so great but now I'm struggling on getting over the intrusive thoughts. I told my therapist and all she wanted to suggest was that something was wrong and there is medicine for me to take for intrusive thoughts cause it's not normal. My anxiety almost came back but I didn't let it . I saw this specific video and it just makes me feel better again. I knew it was just me and I just need to retrain my brain since I developed this habit when my anxiety was in full swing.
Most therapists have no idea what anxiety is and what symptoms it can create. The only therapists that can help are the ones who have actually been through it. There is a rare exception of therapists who havent been through it that can help you but they are very hard to find. Id stick with Shaan and Dr Claire Weekes.
it’s normal if we have that,..100% people have anxiety have that problem.. and if any therapist said that’s not normal, they are not a therapist or a psychologist.. this is normal symptoms from anxiety… the most important thing is don’t join with that thoughts and don’t scary of them.. just let it be
I am suffering from this now but I am using words like so what? I don’t care to counter this. It’s very tough to keep on repeating this every 4 mins whenever thoughts coming in.
10:38. 5 Month ago you have been at 14,3k Subs. Now you are at 43,3 and that is well f***ing deserved. I am struggling with the hypochondira, specially cancer. Every little symptom I experience with my body, my mind tells me "it's "this and that" cancer - for sure!". I am in therapie for abour 8 months now but I gotta tell you, one of your videos helps me as much as 3 months of therapie. From the bottom of my heart - thank you for uploading videos like this and helping thousands of people understanding their minds and thoughts, helping them taking steps to a better live. Thank you.
I had a thought once and a wave of anxiety rushed over me...I was sweaty and had pains in my arms. I have been trying to put it out of my mind and have been engaginv with it and believing it 😢
I just discovered you last week and I have already seen great results using ur methods. I also purchased ur blue print to have handy. Thank you so much for what you do ❤ God bless
I had anxiety thinking the devil was going to attack me, instantly always felt like i had to pray and he was going to doom my soul but the truth is God has your soul, it's not yours to give. A thought is a thought and has no power, God is above all, let the thought fade, have no emotional reaction to it. Pay attention to your eyes, are they constantly seeking anxious thoughts? are they playing into a game that is a cycle? you're probably shifting your eyes overthinking, losing focus. Distract yourself, remind yourself that thoughts cannot hurt you, that sometimes spiritual attacks happen but God lives within you and protects you. They aren't important because God always has your back, you're not doomed, breathe, keep your eyes steady, you are the master of your mind, you are what gives anything power. Live in the present moment, you are sitting, standing, lying down, physically here, there is nothing hurting you but yourself. Anxiety is imaginary, feelings of doom are irrational, sometimes i feel like i'm going crazy. Keep your diet in check, eat your vitamins, maybe you have a vitamin deficiency, maybe you're not doing anything and you're so bored you can't help yourself. Talk with people, do something different, stay hydrated, exercise. You decide what happens, what has power, as long as God is in you guiding you, no evil shall prosper period.

I was distressing for 1 month due to this thought loop and I was having some illogical and some anxious thought on a loop. It made me anxious.And I've watched a lot videos.Everyone says it is just an thought . But no one said that it will come again and don’t be anxious except you. Here is the key point to overcome these thought is knowing that It'll come again and you might feel bit stressed.But that's okey. I hope it helps someone❤

Yes, you cant stop the thoughts. But you can decide: to engage (fusion) with it or not. It's like a mind Tinder: true or false. You can decide: oh yes it's a false thought, and oh it's a true thought. You can chose. :)
Such a timely video. Thank you so much for your videos! I am on a journey to recovering from anxiety and your videos have helped me tremendously. I owe my mindset change to you so thank you!
I really struggle to apply this to my situation. I have ocd and anxiety and strong intrusive thoughts. I have intrusive thoughts about losing control and/or killing myself or suicide due to a trauma and it's stuck with me for 2+ years. I can't be alone out of fear and the thoughts are especially strong when on tube/train. Sometimes the physical anxiety is so strong with my mind racing telling me I could jump infront or the track that I feel my body jolt forwards and don't feel I could actually stop it happening. It's hard to really truly be convinced that it's just a thought. I've never been suicidal and don't want to have these thoughts, just stuck in the cycle of fear!
One thing that completely turned my life around was starting to practise Chi Gung. There are hundreds of free TH-cam videos about this. The exercises are very simple but the most important thing is that they reorganise the chi and the prana that flows through all of us and thoughts believe it or not are a form of prana. This wonderful practice revitalise and heels and nourishes the nervous system as well as the kidneys and adrenals all of which contribute to anxiety. Standing barefoot on the Earth and practicing Chi Gung was a game changer for me and my mind has become incredibly calm peaceful and happy and after many years of suffering I finally feel that my mind is on board with me and not my enemy❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey, I am experiencing something very similar, although I dont have OCD, yet I do have those kind of thoughts. For that I have applied what they call in CBT "putting thought on a trial" meaning : "evaluate the evidence for and the evidence against the thought. We pretend that we are bringing the thought to a judge, and we need to show the judge evidence based on facts and not on feelings. " It sounds simple but its a process that is somehow reassuring in such a distressing thought pattern. I should also mention I am on 20mg of fluoxetine due to my therapist recommendation; but the most important part is working on yourself and your mind. You will get through this. I hope that helps and if you need someone to talk to and share let me know!
my intrusive thought was getting as close to calling 911 as possible without doing so (my phone has an emergency sos feature) and it basically prevented me from doing things like eating properly. i hope this video will help break that habbit
A breathing technique called Kapalbhati and humming works for me to disengage the brain from the nervous system. Kapalbhati is a fast pace respiratory exercise or pranayam. Remember, If you ever feel down always remember to hold a simile!
there is no addition and multiplication in mind, dont push a thought away by thought, the thought will come but focus somewhere else like breath outside world again and again, you know meditation and mindfulness
The issue I have is when I try to turn my life around, staying positive, new routine, healthier liftsyle, something always kicks me in the ass and i have to restart again and again and again.. i can control my anxiety, however it just sucks when i get afraid of my own thoughts 😅 im just tryna stay happy!!! I havent had a full on panic attack, i wont let myself but its just the feeling of not being able to control myself and not knowing what will happen is scary as hell
What I'm discovering is that the mind cannot be cured and it can't be remedied. It's like the mind has a mind all of its own. I'm discovering thru Meditation that who I really am is not my mind and I am not my thoughts and I am not the stories that is created by my mind. My perceptions about myself and the world were incorrect. By Observing the mind, you actually become more Free!! All negative thoughts and imaginations are created by the mind and what I'm finding out is that thoughts are not even real. They don't exist and it's the same thing as when one dreams at night. Further more the root cause of all human suffering is the mind! If we had no mind we wouldn't know what suffering is.
I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts for a while now and they won’t go away and I keep questioning if I’m a bad person and I feel guilty . But I know that if I was truly a bad person I wouldn’t feel guilty .
It's so disturbing and horrifying to suffer from OCD, but something worse is suffering from Religious OCD. I used to have mild derealization symptoms but now the episodes hit me about half the time of every day. I developed anxiety about going to sleep because of how scared I get when thinking about what sort of dreams and nightmares I will have to face down.
Its not about religious or someother type of ocd because i had religious ocd for a year and suddenly i got another different intrusive thoughts now my brain is fixed on this new thought and i dont get religious bad thoughts , but know no intrusive thought is better than the other thought
For everybody watching this video I would like to suggest that you start practising Chi Gung especially barefoot on the Earth. It nourishes heals and revitalizes the nervous system as well as the kidneys and adrenals and all of the other organs in the body. When practising this beautiful passive martial art and it's wonderful easy and deeply relaxing exercises it completely clears and cleans and replenishes the mind. The chaotic energies in the head become far less dense and begin to move downwards into the Earth and become grounded by the feet barefoot on the Earth. Even if you do it with shoes and socks in your own living room it still works because of the way that this incredible healing practise moves energy throughout the body to balance the mind and emotions. Also look into taking a very high quality source of magnesium and a broad spectrum of B vitamins. Avoid coffee sugar and alcohol or at least cut them down to a manageable and safe level. Try to go to bed by 10 and get up with the sunshine and do some Chi Gung. A Chi Gung master would never suffer from anxiety or racing thoughts because his prana is stable and balanced and flowing in a healthy way throughout the body which keeps the mind clear and clean. And lastly try if possible to get yourself into some kind of spiritual community where you can form deep and compassionate friendships because isolating and being alone makes everything feel so much worse. Chi Gung has been a game changer for me after years of suffering anxiety as a younger adult. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very good video. My issue at the moment is that i have anxiety with eating - which i do 3 times a day at least - whuch makes it really hard for me right now to detach from this thought when i have to encounter it multiple times a day
@@jacksonemmanuel644 hey man, just so you know you can get through it. 1 year later and I am doing a lot better. Speak to family and close friends about it, that helped me the most. Things won't change overnight but you have to keep believing that you are going to get through this and over time you will process things and it will get better I promise. If I can help in any other way let me know below and I can see if what I've gone through can help with your situation
2nd video of watching you and i have hope again love your way of explaining ect😢 I haven’t found a professional and ive seen videos but then forget so im just going to stick to yours and hopefully recover i sent a request to join the facebook group hopefully im approved
I used the Silva method for relaxing. That and using lessons from Gerald Jampolsky’s book “Love is letting go of Fear!” One of my favorites is “This instant is the only time there is!” Quite nice for going into stressful situations.
I am. Also suffering from these thoughts i thought i am. Strange when will it be normal why i am not enjoying every one is enjoying the life but i am not? Why am feeling strange why this world is strange these all thoughts make me cry. I want to cry in a very loud voice😭😭😭😭but i have trust on Allah the one's who created me who understand me he is watching me and one day he will ease me he will heal me 😢
Your videos helped me alot and I am recovering very fast thanks to you but one symptom which has been bothering me for from last month is i get startled easily at first getting startled(usually due to some sudden loud noise) triggered panic attacks but now I only get startled but with palpitations so can you suggest someway to overcome this and also is it safe that it happens so frequently

10:38. 5 Month ago you have been at 14,3k Subs. Now you are at 43,3 and that is well f***ing deserved. I am struggling with the hypochondira, specially cancer. Every little symptom I experience with my body, my mind tells me "it's "this and that" cancer - for sure!". I am in therapie for abour 8 months now but I gotta tell you, one of your videos helps me as much as 3 months of therapie. From the bottom of my heart - thank you for uploading videos like this and helping thousands of people understanding their minds and thoughts, helping them taking steps to a better live. Thank you.
Happened with me as well
I had a thought once and a wave of anxiety rushed over me...I was sweaty and had pains in my arms. I have been trying to put it out of my mind and have been engaginv with it and believing it 😢
I just discovered you last week and I have already seen great results using ur methods. I also purchased ur blue print to have handy. Thank you so much for what you do ❤ God bless
Send me the blue print copy. Can't afford it
Thank you so much for this video 🙏Its relieving to know that someone else has dealt with anxiety, and has overcome it. It gives me hope ✨
I had anxiety thinking the devil was going to attack me, instantly always felt like i had to pray and he was going to doom my soul but the truth is God has your soul, it's not yours to give. A thought is a thought and has no power, God is above all, let the thought fade, have no emotional reaction to it. Pay attention to your eyes, are they constantly seeking anxious thoughts? are they playing into a game that is a cycle? you're probably shifting your eyes overthinking, losing focus. Distract yourself, remind yourself that thoughts cannot hurt you, that sometimes spiritual attacks happen but God lives within you and protects you. They aren't important because God always has your back, you're not doomed, breathe, keep your eyes steady, you are the master of your mind, you are what gives anything power. Live in the present moment, you are sitting, standing, lying down, physically here, there is nothing hurting you but yourself. Anxiety is imaginary, feelings of doom are irrational, sometimes i feel like i'm going crazy. Keep your diet in check, eat your vitamins, maybe you have a vitamin deficiency, maybe you're not doing anything and you're so bored you can't help yourself. Talk with people, do something different, stay hydrated, exercise. You decide what happens, what has power, as long as God is in you guiding you, no evil shall prosper period.
Sounds like what I go through 24/7
Hugely helpful. I think this is the single most important video I've seen thus far. It's the AHAH moment.
Very good video. Learn to sit with the discomfort of the thoughts without directly thinking about those thoughts. Thank you!
Subscribed, watching in sep 2023 having the worst day, crying all day, started in 2020 during covid lockdown and mum died and had to say bye over a video and couldn't go to funeral as was in a different country
I was distressing for 1 month due to this thought loop and I was having some illogical and some anxious thought on a loop. It made me anxious.And I've watched a lot videos.Everyone says it is just an thought . But no one said that it will come again and don’t be anxious except you.
Here is the key point to overcome these thought is knowing that It'll come again and you might feel bit stressed.But that's okey.
I hope it helps someone❤
Yes, you cant stop the thoughts. But you can decide: to engage (fusion) with it or not. It's like a mind Tinder: true or false. You can decide: oh yes it's a false thought, and oh it's a true thought. You can chose. :)
I needed this today! Thanks Shaan!❤
Wow. I needed this! It’s so helpful right now. Thank you.
I just came across your channel and while I was listening to this video, I had a pleasant micro sleep like it reset my mind in a way. I needed this
Such a timely video. Thank you so much for your videos! I am on a journey to recovering from anxiety and your videos have helped me tremendously. I owe my mindset change to you so thank you!
Ur a legend May God Bless You 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I really struggle to apply this to my situation. I have ocd and anxiety and strong intrusive thoughts. I have intrusive thoughts about losing control and/or killing myself or suicide due to a trauma and it's stuck with me for 2+ years. I can't be alone out of fear and the thoughts are especially strong when on tube/train. Sometimes the physical anxiety is so strong with my mind racing telling me I could jump infront or the track that I feel my body jolt forwards and don't feel I could actually stop it happening. It's hard to really truly be convinced that it's just a thought. I've never been suicidal and don't want to have these thoughts, just stuck in the cycle of fear!
One thing that completely turned my life around was starting to practise Chi Gung. There are hundreds of free TH-cam videos about this. The exercises are very simple but the most important thing is that they reorganise the chi and the prana that flows through all of us and thoughts believe it or not are a form of prana. This wonderful practice revitalise and heels and nourishes the nervous system as well as the kidneys and adrenals all of which contribute to anxiety. Standing barefoot on the Earth and practicing Chi Gung was a game changer for me and my mind has become incredibly calm peaceful and happy and after many years of suffering I finally feel that my mind is on board with me and not my enemy❤❤❤❤❤❤
Please i have been going through this for 4months now and i dunno what to do
Hey, I am experiencing something very similar, although I dont have OCD, yet I do have those kind of thoughts. For that I have applied what they call in CBT "putting thought on a trial" meaning : "evaluate the evidence for and the evidence against the thought. We pretend that we are bringing the thought to a judge, and we need to show the judge evidence based on facts and not on feelings. " It sounds simple but its a process that is somehow reassuring in such a distressing thought pattern. I should also mention I am on 20mg of fluoxetine due to my therapist recommendation; but the most important part is working on yourself and your mind. You will get through this. I hope that helps and if you need someone to talk to and share let me know!
my intrusive thought was getting as close to calling 911 as possible without doing so (my phone has an emergency sos feature) and it basically prevented me from doing things like eating properly. i hope this video will help break that habbit
There's days i feel like giving up. There's no point the struggle up that mountain.
Don’t give up!!
Considering I am the biggest brainiac breaking this down for me really helped thank you so much
A breathing technique called Kapalbhati and humming works for me to disengage the brain from the nervous system. Kapalbhati is a fast pace respiratory exercise or pranayam. Remember, If you ever feel down always remember to hold a simile!
there is no addition and multiplication in mind, dont push a thought away by thought, the thought will come but focus somewhere else like breath outside world again and again, you know meditation and mindfulness
It's the same thing happened to all people it's the thoughts so no matter what it is people. Don't think love you all ❤️🇬🇧🙏🤔😉
The issue I have is when I try to turn my life around, staying positive, new routine, healthier liftsyle, something always kicks me in the ass and i have to restart again and again and again.. i can control my anxiety, however it just sucks when i get afraid of my own thoughts 😅 im just tryna stay happy!!! I havent had a full on panic attack, i wont let myself but its just the feeling of not being able to control myself and not knowing what will happen is scary as hell
Hii can u help me, we have the same problem I guess. How do you control it? I'm having trouble 😭
Excellent video, Shaan. Very very clear and helpful.
What I'm discovering is that the mind cannot be cured and it can't be remedied. It's like the mind has a mind all of its own. I'm discovering thru Meditation that who I really am is not my mind and I am not my thoughts and I am not the stories that is created by my mind. My perceptions about myself and the world were incorrect. By Observing the mind, you actually become more Free!! All negative thoughts and imaginations are created by the mind and what I'm finding out is that thoughts are not even real. They don't exist and it's the same thing as when one dreams at night. Further more the root cause of all human suffering is the mind! If we had no mind we wouldn't know what suffering is.
My friend your mind is you everything in your body is you
I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts for a while now and they won’t go away and I keep questioning if I’m a bad person and I feel guilty . But I know that if I was truly a bad person I wouldn’t feel guilty .
You are an awesome person for this video
It's so disturbing and horrifying to suffer from OCD, but something worse is suffering from Religious OCD. I used to have mild derealization symptoms but now the episodes hit me about half the time of every day. I developed anxiety about going to sleep because of how scared I get when thinking about what sort of dreams and nightmares I will have to face down.
Its not about religious or someother type of ocd because i had religious ocd for a year and suddenly i got another different intrusive thoughts now my brain is fixed on this new thought and i dont get religious bad thoughts , but know no intrusive thought is better than the other thought
So never engage with the thought? I have OCD, BDD and Anxiety.
Yeah I get intrusive thoughts like, breaking my finger, and other stuff, but luckily I have never listened to these thoughts
Oh my GOD ! a Rebound !!!!
🙏🏿🤲🏿🙏🏿
Omg thank you so much everything is clear now i hope i can do it soon
Thanks!
Absolutely superb.
For everybody watching this video I would like to suggest that you start practising Chi Gung especially barefoot on the Earth. It nourishes heals and revitalizes the nervous system as well as the kidneys and adrenals and all of the other organs in the body. When practising this beautiful passive martial art and it's wonderful easy and deeply relaxing exercises it completely clears and cleans and replenishes the mind. The chaotic energies in the head become far less dense and begin to move downwards into the Earth and become grounded by the feet barefoot on the Earth. Even if you do it with shoes and socks in your own living room it still works because of the way that this incredible healing practise moves energy throughout the body to balance the mind and emotions. Also look into taking a very high quality source of magnesium and a broad spectrum of B vitamins. Avoid coffee sugar and alcohol or at least cut them down to a manageable and safe level. Try to go to bed by 10 and get up with the sunshine and do some Chi Gung. A Chi Gung master would never suffer from anxiety or racing thoughts because his prana is stable and balanced and flowing in a healthy way throughout the body which keeps the mind clear and clean. And lastly try if possible to get yourself into some kind of spiritual community where you can form deep and compassionate friendships because isolating and being alone makes everything feel so much worse. Chi Gung has been a game changer for me after years of suffering anxiety as a younger adult. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Very good video. My issue at the moment is that i have anxiety with eating - which i do 3 times a day at least - whuch makes it really hard for me right now to detach from this thought when i have to encounter it multiple times a day
same here....I have the same
@@jacksonemmanuel644 hey man, just so you know you can get through it. 1 year later and I am doing a lot better. Speak to family and close friends about it, that helped me the most. Things won't change overnight but you have to keep believing that you are going to get through this and over time you will process things and it will get better I promise. If I can help in any other way let me know below and I can see if what I've gone through can help with your situation
Good men you are the one to have helped me. I don't know nothing about. Thought you told me nowadays I no thanks 🇬🇧🏴

Idk if ADHD can effect this worse but I feel like it does.
I am autistic I can cope no problem
This is amazing it's really interesting learning about the mind and this helped alot
I used the Silva method for relaxing. That and using lessons from Gerald Jampolsky’s book “Love is letting go of Fear!”
One of my favorites is “This instant is the only time there is!” Quite nice for going into stressful situations.
Thank you so much sir.
I love you
Thankyou so much you are fantastic.. nice clear simple voice and explanation... Thanks again ❤❤

Your videos helped me alot and I am recovering very fast thanks to you but one symptom which has been bothering me for from last month is i get startled easily at first getting startled(usually due to some sudden loud noise) triggered panic attacks but now I only get startled but with palpitations so can you suggest someway to overcome this and also is it safe that it happens so frequently
Gym , it's hard in the beginning but it's amazing !
Embracing pessimistic thoughts until they fade off the mind sounds discomforting but I hope it's worthwhile.
What’s wrong with anxiety issues and it won’t go away so I had to go on iPad and listen to some girl talking about Anxiety
Thank you, Shaan.👍
Thank you so much Shaan
