Noah Elkrief Hey Noah, you're videos are really great! I just love them. I'm thinking of setting up a consult with you one of these days to absorb some more of your wisdom. I am wondering if you have a specific video, or will be making a video, on this concept that there is no such thing as "bad" or "good". I do understand the concept of disproving thoughts and recognizing that we don't know outcomes in life (because of uncertainty); however, I get a bit lost when you start to describe the "i don't know scenarios". In some of your videos, you might say something like this: "I don't know if taking me the dream job will make me happy...if I don't take it, I might find the love of my life or meet my best friend instead". But isn't that still saying that we should "let go" or "be with what is" in order to discover something else might be "good"?
Hi Justin, obviously I'm not Noah but I might be able to help clarify? He is using examples of what you might perceive as "good" or "bad" outcomes to help us wrap our heads around the concept of no good or bad. Like the first step, if you will. Ultimately experiences are simply experiences and we're the ones assigning "good" or "bad" labels to them. When he says you get fired from your job which might lead to you finding the girl of your dreams, well what if that later leads to divorce? I think that ultimately the seed of Noah's videos is about how things just "are" and it just takes a little building up to get to that concept. Without good, there is no bad. Without bad, there is no good, therefore they are the same thing and cancel each other out. He also mentions it's ok to experience things as good or bad, it's only when you want to not feel suffering because of it that you can question your thoughts and stop seeing things as a dichotomy.
+Justin Pritchard I agree, I'm still confused with "bad" and "good" concepts. I think that what he actually means is that no goal can ever lead to happiness, so we should stop believing thoughts like: "it would be best if I got X," since neither "X" nor "not X" will lead to happiness. Thus, we should not seek happiness through goals, but through being present. The way he phrases it, it seems like he's saying that there might be a goal or complex series of events that could lead to happiness (for example: lose my job -> become a hobo -> fall in love with hobo princess -> happiness), but that we shouldn't trust our minds to find it. If that's what he's saying, then that would be an anxiety provoking reality since we can only hope to find happiness through chance.
***** I go through the same thing. There is time in my life when I am physically fit and anxiety doesn't bother me at all but when sometimes when i get depress, i start to smoke, eat unhealthy and stay at home that triggers anxiety and in worst case scenarios even panic attacts that can turn in to nightmares. I always try to keep a good balance and control in my life and keep myself busy in studying and work to avoid those nast anxiety attacks. I am sure that u too will be able to kick ur anxiety by finding ur special way

I just want to say to all the people who have social anxiety, I give you a huge hug. Because it's horrible to always hear the 'it's all in your head' or 'just stop being shy' or 'just go out more'. It truly is like a prison, but I promise you're not alone, you're not 'pathetic' and it's not your fault to be feeling this way. If you try your best, you'll get better, slowly but surely. /hugs/ ♥
I overthink things and get nervous and anxious I'm not sure why but I know I do I am very sensitive and think about this feeling a lot thank you for being a person who sees into other props hearts
jessie rios Yeah man, same here. I freak out when a bunch of people surround me. I have get my things and leave or I'll literally have a heart attack. Only way I make it is by zoning out and ignoring everyone.
+jessie rios If I stick around too long, yeah. I become overstimulated trying to predict everyones behavior in my peripheral vision to ensure my well being. Basically everyone is a threat to me and I don't know why. The overprocessing stresses me out, and I end up quietly gathering my things, and leaving (Inside, I can't get away fast enough.) At this point, I am happiest in complete solitude. No stress, and the only stupidity I have to deal with is my own.
Jonny Q Anxiety is literally just emotions that arise from our thoughts. so if you think about your suffering you are going to suffer more, it makes total sense so don't panic
repeat anxitey 10 times with your eyes closed and imagine you can see it in bold letters on a paper.. now in your mind grab the word with anxitey and roll it up and through it away!! Done.

It's 3am-- I was on the verge of an anxiety attack because I am literally about to get up to go to go on a trip that is supposed to be fun - I can't help but keep thinking of bad scenarios. Somehow watching you was really soothing. It's weird how having someone basically point out your thoughts makes it feel like it's not you that has to deal with a problem solely. A lot of people feel the same way. The solidarity helps somehow. Thank you so much for this video!
Patricia, How are you? To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in school, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce negative media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.
Same, about to go on a trip and can’t stop my fears. People say you can’t control anything around you except your reaction, is this suppose to give me peace? It increases my anxiety even more to know that we can’t control anything around us. My list of fears is so long: fear of war, car accidents, not seeing my loved ones again, fear of war, fear of losing my temper.
Yeah i agree. It's like we live in a prison, where you want to get free but are afraid to do so... sucks man... There was a time i was taking some meds and i felt great for like 3 months, i regained my confidence and felt awsome. But dont stick to meds guys, it is a hard fight but we will have to do it together ;)
I came across this video as I lay here in bed at night fearing falling asleep because I fear not waking up. Anxiety is a terrifying reality of my life and I have to say I'm so in love with you and your videos. I really want to thank you because while nothing is going to solve my anxiety, it helps me to rationalize it.
I always believed that one day I will stumbled across something like this material, and now I have found you, I know that I need it the most as well as other people A million thanks my friend Noah.
Ok this video didn't help.... i have anxiety 3. I thought of a fire as the example and couldn't get any positive stuff from that, only getting a new house but i love my house, i've been here 12 years, also because theres lots of pets inside and my fav pillows and blankets.
I didn't know I was suffering anxiety until my sister saw how I was. I've never experienced this feeling before so I was so scared because I dont know how to deal with this. Thank you so much for this video!
I'm starting to cry..... You sound so comforting to me, I wish you were here with me right now and giving me a hug to comfort me. And telling me I'm going to be okay.
First 10 minutes did not feel like it was working but before I knew it holy moly! It not only worked, but also made me feel mentally stronger. Thank you!!!! Subscribed
Thank you so much for this video, i can't express how much comfort this has given me. I was told by a friend to listen to this kind of stuff and decided to do that whilst cleaning, as it hit to 4:00 i just broke down, it honestly just felt like you were speaking out my emotions and my struggles. I don't know if i cried because of being tired or because i related but i think i needed it. Thank you.
Your anxiety videos definitely help me. No depression but non-stop anxiety that will kill me if I can’t get it under control. So I am very grateful for something that actually is helpful.
My anxiety sits below the surface but never comes up as a panic attack. It's so frustrating because it feels like it would be gone if it would just come to the surface as a panic attack like nausea
Dang Noah this is right on point, I already knew that circumstances do not create peace and happiness mentally yet internally I didn't seem to really believe it, thoughts about the circumstances of the future trouble me, which brings me to your last point about how do we truly know what circumstance would be best for us? I almost always go to the negative thoughts as a preset, I always thought I was being "realistic" yet it's not realistic at all it's quite negatively biased, but when I contemplate if there could be positive outcomes from certain circumstances I start thinking of all kinds of hopeful things and possibilities. Thanks for the video! I am going to start watching my negative side closely from now on and challenge it.
For smiles, I believe the real release from anxiety here is simply listening to Noah’s voice which is very calming in itself :). On a serious note, though, I really appreciate what you do Noah. I know you have helped so many people. I don’t consider myself an anxious person, but in the last year I’ve lost my mom, my grandmother, major ups and downs with family and friend relationships and this has affected my way of thinking and rethinking of myself. Thank you so much for sharing this love of self and understanding with us all.
Wow!!! This was exactly what I was thinking... I 100% agree. I get..it For example I quit my job because of my anxiety. I had so called a good job that paid well but I was miserable. I wasn't happy with myself. I totally shut down and felt worthless. Now a year later unemployed no one understands that the job was not the measurement of my happiness. In fact nothing could motivate me to want to work until I started to feel more happy and hopeful internally. Hardly no one I talk to understands this concept that you are talking about. Why is this? It's incredibly hard for people to understand this and meanwhile they just look at me crazy or like a loser... I think maybe one reason why people are not quick to believe this concept of true happiness is that they are hanging on to concept and they fear letting it go... I'm guilty of it too I just have not gotten to that stage to fully let go....I have the awareness though.
Thanks Noah, this helped me out. Every time I find a small bump, mole, discoloration, I automatically think I have some sort of cancer or disease and it's been really debilitating. Fortunately, this video helped me relieve some of that anxiety
+Maximus Crusade i was about to ask noah about the fear of a potential serious illness because in this case you know the outcome will not make you at peace....so how do you deal with it?

I've watched each of your videos countless amount of times, and I'm having a realization now that I've never had in times prior. I've noticed there are background noises: the chirping birds and the sound of nature. In turn, I realize that the lens in which i view the world is becoming less and less clogged with distracting thoughts. The lens is much clearer now than when i first started viewing your videos. I NEVER would have been in the present moment enough to notice the simple bird noises in the back; I would have been thinking about something else and every now and then my attention would come back to your voice. Thank you so much, Noah.
I've been experiencing severe anxiety and insomnia. I listened to this again and it seems to have calmed me. I've asked some pointed questions at other times (still unanswered, I think), but overall, these are good ideas that lessen anxiety.
Very helpful! I love how your videos are logical but also emotionally sensitive. Could you make a video on balancing different aspects of life? And when to notice you're off balance? I think many people would appreciate it!
I recently had a number of problems regarding anxiety caused by the fear of losing something or someone, this really helped me, I won't be able to thank you enough
Can you make a video on death anxiety and the anxiety related to losing loved ones? Or can you link a writing or an article based on this, I've been suffering from such anxiety lately and the worst part is that it is coming in the way of me doing every work, also in the form of existential crisis, whenever I start doing something, thoughts like "why am I doing this? What'll this do to me, I'm going to die anyway" start hovering over my mind and it makes me really upset. Thank you for this video though, your videos have helped me a lot!
Yes, this is my problem. I live in terrible fear of something happening to my children, my spouse, or myself. All I want is all four of us to live to a ripe old age. The odds that any of us dying would lead to an ultimately better outcome than all of us living are so small that it simply is not compelling enough to reduce my anxiety. My children need me. There may be another mother for them out there that would be somehow even better, but 1) I'd be dead and 2) I am a really good mother and my children have been raised carefully by me in a unique way. I need my children. Yes, if they died, I might...say...adopt a child that I have an even more wonderful relationship with...but, again, the odds of this are infinitesimal. My children are my children and my whole world. The least anxiety is about my spouse, but, again, the chances I could find someone better for me are infinitesimal; we are an excellent match, very much in love, and have been together for over 20 years. How am I supposed to live with this fear? It eats me alive sometimes.
Just know that when we die.....all the stress and bullshit in life is over.....Ive lost a few close people in the past 10 years.....and thats what helped a ton..... To know that they were finally free of the invisible shackles put on us.....that they were free.....and instead of thinking "whats the point if we are gonna die anyways"......think of how you can make someones day brighter.....try to help atleast one person everyday..... It will keep your mind busy and give you a rewarding feeling....maybe volunteer at a non profit to help people in need.....hope it gets better....and always remember there are other people feeling and thinking the same way you are..... They just dont want to admit it cause they dont want to be judged.....
Your videos have really helped me with my social anxiety, depression and anxiety. They have caused a change of my mind. Now I feel it is very unlikely for my thoughts to drift in a negative direction like they used to. Thankyou.
Does anxiety cause numbness, tingling, Spasms, burning on your head? nausea , upset stomach, insomnia, night sweats, high blood pressure? Do you feel light headed and get a sense of something bad is going to happen to you?
This was outstanding cognitive introspection. I was so tired of the same advice, sleep more, eat better, exercise more, be more social, all of those advices only added more anxiety. This addresses the psychological root. At the start of the video, my whole body was so tense all my muscles started to burn and atrophy, my heart was pounding, I couldn't breathe and my head was full of air. By the end of the video I was breathing calmly and completely relaxed, my headache went away and the tightness disappeared instantly. Amazing
its like a dream for me everyday i dont feel like im in real life,your video helped me but the feeling is still there and i suffer from panic attacks recently how to get through it?
hi noah how can i thank you enough before watching your videos i was so panic and stress all the time that i might do wrong things all the time but because of you ui feel at peace now whenever i will tell story in my mind positive or negative i started practicing your lectures that i should tell myseilf that what im thinking is not real and it helped me so much to be calm i want to say i love you for being a concern human being to people like me who have anxiety everyday torturing myself and you know what i always watch your videos as a reminder not to come back to the old me the depressed, stressed person before
Anxiety is just a lifestyle now. I constantly feel like I might pass out or like there’s cotton in my head and I can’t think straight. My muscles are weak and my body shakes constantly, and I always think I can sleep it off, but when I wake up in the mornings it’s still there. I started skipping things I really need to do just because I literally have no energy anymore and I’ve convinced myself I’m dying of some horrible disease and just don’t know it. It’s awful.
I've been so worried for almost a month now, I know a month isn't that long but wow, there are so many things in this world to be scared about I just wish I could just realize the happy things in life but I just worry to much, again, you help a lot thank you so much there is no other youtuber like you thank you ☺️
This was amazing. Rewired myself. This wont help everyone but you have to listen to this with intent and passion to move on from your anxiety. I hope everyone that comes here get better. Wish you all well❤️
yeah I get nausea, lightheaded, rapid heart pounding so hard that it moves my body, short of breath, went to the E.R they said my blood was good my urine was good and they took x ray of my chest and took pics of 12 different angles of my heart and it was normal they said it can be anxiety
Yeah, I had a terrible anxiety attack. I went to hospital after feeling extremely light headed and having severe palpatations, I was convinced I was having a heart attack or a stroke. They did a blood test which came back clear. Hooked me up to an ECG for a few hours, my heart rate was pretty high due to the stress of it all. They sent me home chalking it up to anxiety.
I'm twice your age, but I wish you could have told me this 40 years ago. Impossible, right? Anyway, I know what you're saying makes sense, because I followed a similar path. But I didn't get as far as you did. (That's why I wish I could have received your message all those years ago.) Now that I know how it works in greater perspective, I'm motivated to continue. Thank you for all these great videos. I'm so happy I finally got it.
I can’t help being worried. I _cant_ stop my anxiety I was born with anxiety and I think my mum was as well. I always get stressed and worried about stuff and I sometimes get paranoid about stuff and I think that people are watching/stalking me and I always care what people think. I always think something bad is gonna happen that I’m gonna die in some way or that I will lose everything.
Great video! It's so simple to realize the truth behind things. This concept can more or less be applied to anything. Find the real reasons why you feel a certain way and realize the outcomes of each situation. Don't let yourself be limited by the fear of the unknown or of what is bad because you don't know. Best advice ever, just simplify and realize situations.
Noah Elkrief i have ocd and hand anxiety like i dont like touching objects at school home and anywhere will u make a video to overcome ocd and hand anxiety
I love this man’s videos they always seem to calm me and guide me when I feel like life has gotten too overwhelming. I’ve had anxiety for years now and it causes some pretty nasty symptoms, in turn these symptoms give me more anxiety and the cycle just continues and it feels like the more panic attacks I get the worse and worse the anxiety feels. My mind starts racing, the back of my throat feels like it’s caught on fire and it’s a super uncomfortable experience. I’ve gone to therapists throughout the year that have helped me coop but ever so often I go through a rut in life that just opens back up the box of monsters and it feels awful but I always go back to Noah’s videos to help ground myself especially when I have no one to talk to or life gets too busy to start visiting a therapist. I know that very soon the anxiety will be past me and I’ll once again be enjoying my life I just want everyone to know that you’re not alone and there’s a lot of people going through this with you. You’ll get passed this just like every single person has and even if you find yourself anxious again it’ll become easier and easier to control until you’ll never run into it unnecessarily again. Happy holidays everyone.
For one, I've find your voice to be very calming, which really helps me be able to hone in and listen to what you're trying to tell me. I started a TH-cam channel a couple of months ago, so I figured I would do a little bit of research in trying to help me with my anxiety, which I have suffered from pretty much all of my life. I really love everything you had to say in this video, and will try to continue to practice what you teach. I've realized that I try to get positive affirmation a lot in my life because I have such a negative image of myself, and letting that go will be a challenge, but if I practice not having an expectation, maybe one day I'll be free from the need to be reassured and the fear of what people might think of me. Thank you so much for this.
The way you explain anxiety, the understanding of why and how to deal with it, is amazing. I don't think it will be easy to unlearn it, but I'm willing to try. Will just listen to the video again and again. Thank you! 🙏
Like 6 months ago I was really skinny then I started going t the gym and I started to like my body and I thought I was looking stronger so I told one of my best friends and I sent a picture of me flexing because I was proud of it. He saved the picture and he keeps deleting it and getting it back. He is posting the photo online and sending it around and everyyime he deletes it off of his phone he gets it back to embarrass me. He is no longer my friend because of this. I have trouble falling asleep at night because of the pain in my chest and stomach and the anxiety that he will send it around and it's going to get out there. (I used to have really bad anxiety when I was skinny but going to the gym and going to the therapist made me get over it but lately it's been coming back) what should I do to get over this anxiety, he says he deleted the photo but he has said this 4 times before so I don't believe him
I feel like sometimes my anxiety helps me to feel more alive. That when I overcome a anxious moment I feel a rush of emotional well-being, that I am being what I should be in that moment. On the whole though anxiety is a nightmare, repetitive circumstances of unfocused fear. Fear of hurting people or animals is what triggers me the worst; or fear of enjoying the suffering of others. This is a great video, thanks Noah.
My anxiety hit me like a train after my hydrocelectomy surgery. for some reason the changes assosiated with it became too much and i became anxious and severely depressed. Some days are better and others are worse but its been like this for nearly 2 weeks now. This video helped alot. Thanks.
I've been having major anxiety and I've been truly suffering and having panic attacks every day but watching this video has helped me. I just want to say thank you.
I usually shake uncontrollably and make myself worse because I'm battling my own thoughts and I try to tell myself to breathe through it. Thank you for these videos without them sometimes I would not be able to calm down. Thank you Noah and everyone out there that supports mental health awareness and all of us battling it!

Thank you Noah your videos are really helping me. I'm sure many of us would appreciate a video on generalised anxiety if possible. Bless you for all your time and effort you put in to helping others.
so I am 28 with 3 kids I am very young unfortunately with a lot of stressful situations in my life right now court issues, my kids, daily life issues, my relationship, i just found out my partner just cheated on me nd worse it's a lot I am alone me and my family don't talk nomore someone tell me why am I waking up shaking crying nervous fear a lot of other suffering issues
Hi Noah. I think that you are amazing and I love how you spell things out. You have definitely found your calling and I can guarantee that you are helping a hell of a lot of people, and for that I have a deep respect for you brother. My question is, have you ever considered doing a video on how to relieve or control anxiety when people are trying to make you anxious. I have been doing extensive research on the subject and could give you some first hand tips. Think about it. Believe me when I tell you that you would be beyond peace and happiness. Regardless, I think you are an incredible human being, and as we now know, that is only my unreal opinion. Thanks again.
i think i have anxiety, i struggle walking outside by others, i start shaking and feel extreme uncomfortability, from anyone elderly or youngsters, i feel anxiety just by getting up when someone is looking at me, i know theres a non fixable problem with my body, and everyone looks weird to it, or atleast thats how it seems to me, i think others have it but it dosent effect them, i seem different :( i dont go outside much as theres people there, so am enxuos about them seeing me in this world, i feel i shud be invisible, is something wrong with me? :( idk...

Thank you.😌
Thanks alot
what about the anxiety that just happens and there is literally no reason you just sit there and shake and feel nervous about nothing at all
Yes I feel just like you
Zamiiz I get anxiety of being sick for some reason and I'm hoping for his video helps
Happening right now but since I came from the beach it could be sunburn.
Zamiiz Go see a doctor
@Zamiiz I think I can relate. Sometimes when I wake up, I feel horrible and anxious and it sucks.
After some thinking. I have come to the conclusion that anxiety is not being able to recognize that thoughts are not facts.
I overthink things and get nervous and anxious I'm not sure why but I know I do I am very sensitive and think about this feeling a lot thank you for being a person who sees into other props hearts
+The Perspective Yeah, and the overprocessing stresses me out. So to stop the stress, I stay away from everyone.
does anyone else get scared when people come into the school like a lot of people come to the school and then i just get scared for no apperent reason
jessie rios Yeah man, same here. I freak out when a bunch of people surround me. I have get my things and leave or I'll literally have a heart attack. Only way I make it is by zoning out and ignoring everyone.
I literly get a headache and panic do you?
+jessie rios If I stick around too long, yeah. I become overstimulated trying to predict everyones behavior in my peripheral vision to ensure my well being. Basically everyone is a threat to me and I don't know why. The overprocessing stresses me out, and I end up quietly gathering my things, and leaving (Inside, I can't get away fast enough.) At this point, I am happiest in complete solitude. No stress, and the only stupidity I have to deal with is my own.
Your voice is calming
***** :)
Terron Miles I agree!! Sometimes I just have it on in the background cause his soothing tones calm me. ♡
Yesss
I am going to watch this video day and night everyday untill my stupid fucking subconcious stops giving me those anxiety feelings.
me too
good luck!
I really needed to hear these words, thank you so much!
Hermetic Kitten ASMR Love Hermetic wisdom, & ur name btw.
Revisiting Noah after 8 years and many roads traveled... He is really one of the best in his field.
I have anxiety, thinking about my Anxiety it doesn't make any sense.
Jonny Q Anxiety is literally just emotions that arise from our thoughts. so if you think about your suffering you are going to suffer more, it makes total sense so don't panic
repeat anxitey 10 times with your eyes closed and imagine you can see it in bold letters on a paper.. now in your mind grab the word with anxitey and roll it up and through it away!! Done.

Same :(
It's 3am-- I was on the verge of an anxiety attack because I am literally about to get up to go to go on a trip that is supposed to be fun - I can't help but keep thinking of bad scenarios. Somehow watching you was really soothing. It's weird how having someone basically point out your thoughts makes it feel like it's not you that has to deal with a problem solely. A lot of people feel the same way. The solidarity helps somehow. Thank you so much for this video!
Patricia Gonzalez You're welcome Patricia
Patricia, How are you? To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in school, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce negative media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.
Same, about to go on a trip and can’t stop my fears. People say you can’t control anything around you except your reaction, is this suppose to give me peace? It increases my anxiety even more to know that we can’t control anything around us.
My list of fears is so long: fear of war, car accidents, not seeing my loved ones again, fear of war, fear of losing my temper.
25 mins? But im anxious now!!!
Thank you so much for your posts Noah, I get anxious about getting anxiety... Brain battles, heart pounding
Ayse Kavaz You're welcome Ayse. I will do a video about that soon.
+Ayse Kavaz I thought I was the only one!
yes please
brain battles are the worst. so mentally exhausting.
+Tiffany Reynolds you got that right im still fighting my head
i feel like my anxiety is one of a kind and no one else has it
Joey Hatfield same
Joey Hatfield I feel the same way we should talk about it?
Joey Hatfield same here
Joey Hatfield same here but I think everyone's is different
@Joey Hatfield I kinda feel the same way. It sucks.
A human being wants to be free.
Words are important to life in general. Blitz and bless baby.
Yeah i agree. It's like we live in a prison, where you want to get free but are afraid to do so... sucks man... There was a time i was taking some meds and i felt great for like 3 months, i regained my confidence and felt awsome. But dont stick to meds guys, it is a hard fight but we will have to do it together ;)
I came across this video as I lay here in bed at night fearing falling asleep because I fear not waking up. Anxiety is a terrifying reality of my life and I have to say I'm so in love with you and your videos. I really want to thank you because while nothing is going to solve my anxiety, it helps me to rationalize it.
Everything time I get anxious or depressed I come to his videos they are the best!!❤ God bless you Noah!
I always believed that one day I will stumbled across something like this material, and now I have found you, I know that I need it the most as well as other people
A million thanks my friend Noah.
This has helped me unbelievably, just after suffering an extremely mild anxiety flood I found this video and I feel like it's the first step forward
The idea of my anxiety going away made me anxious, which then made me brake into tears while laughing...
Ok this video didn't help.... i have anxiety 3. I thought of a fire as the example and couldn't get any positive stuff from that, only getting a new house but i love my house, i've been here 12 years, also because theres lots of pets inside and my fav pillows and blankets.
RubyZoldyck:3 yours nuts.
Your voice is definitely calming.
as he has solution to anxiety so he seems to be calm :)
I'm glad my voice helped to calm you :)
Why on earth is this guys voice SO calming
To be honest, it has the exact opposite effect on me. It has something to do with the way he breaths and words come with this half-breath. No offence.
Family Show he is a douche bag.
od. You I'm helping myself with Weedborn CBD. I think this is the best medicine.
I didn't know I was suffering anxiety until my sister saw how I was. I've never experienced this feeling before so I was so scared because I dont know how to deal with this. Thank you so much for this video!
I'm starting to cry..... You sound so comforting to me, I wish you were here with me right now and giving me a hug to comfort me. And telling me I'm going to be okay.
First 10 minutes did not feel like it was working but before I knew it holy moly! It not only worked, but also made me feel mentally stronger.
Thank you!!!!

Thank you so much for this video, i can't express how much comfort this has given me. I was told by a friend to listen to this kind of stuff and decided to do that whilst cleaning, as it hit to 4:00 i just broke down, it honestly just felt like you were speaking out my emotions and my struggles. I don't know if i cried because of being tired or because i related but i think i needed it. Thank you.
Wow You are beautiful
This is so profound. I never knew someone could explain so throughly the way that I actually feel. Thank you. This has changed everything for me.
You save lives, loving your videos.
Thanks Arefeh :)
years in therapy and nothing..
25min of this video and boom! it opened my mind.
thank you so much.. i feel so much better.
Got it right now, this video is a big help. Thank you !
Your anxiety videos definitely help me. No depression but non-stop anxiety that will kill me if I can’t get it under control. So I am very grateful for something that actually is helpful.
does anyone ever feel like they stop breathing when falling asleep or hard to catch your breath when falling asleep
Yep it happened to me its really important not to think aboit that or think about it as littel as possible
It may be sleep apnea
I watched this video once and I have had almost no anxiety today. This is amazing, that never happens. It feels so good to relax.
My anxiety sits below the surface but never comes up as a panic attack. It's so frustrating because it feels like it would be gone if it would just come to the surface as a panic attack like nausea
ResemeeC yes omg same
I honestly can't
ResemeeC what a wack job you are.
Thank you
Dang Noah this is right on point, I already knew that circumstances do not create peace and happiness mentally yet internally I didn't seem to really believe it, thoughts about the circumstances of the future trouble me, which brings me to your last point about how do we truly know what circumstance would be best for us? I almost always go to the negative thoughts as a preset, I always thought I was being "realistic" yet it's not realistic at all it's quite negatively biased, but when I contemplate if there could be positive outcomes from certain circumstances I start thinking of all kinds of hopeful things and possibilities. Thanks for the video! I am going to start watching my negative side closely from now on and challenge it.
95TurboSol Glad the video helped you to see this more clearly. We never know what's best. So instead, we have to follow our heart/intuition.
I seriously love your videos. I feel so much better when i watch them, it helps with my panic attacks :)
+Adrienne Isabel Glad they have helped Adrienne
+Noah Elkrief
it always does! thank you
For smiles, I believe the real release from anxiety here is simply listening to Noah’s voice which is very calming in itself :). On a serious note, though, I really appreciate what you do Noah. I know you have helped so many people. I don’t consider myself an anxious person, but in the last year I’ve lost my mom, my grandmother, major ups and downs with family and friend relationships and this has affected my way of thinking and rethinking of myself. Thank you so much for sharing this love of self and understanding with us all.
Wow!!! This was exactly what I was thinking... I 100% agree. I get..it
For example I quit my job because of my anxiety. I had so called a good job that paid well but I was miserable. I wasn't happy with myself. I totally shut down and felt worthless. Now a year later unemployed no one understands that the job was not the measurement of my happiness.
In fact nothing could motivate me to want to work until I started to feel more happy and hopeful internally. Hardly no one I talk to understands this concept that you are talking about.
Why is this? It's incredibly hard for people to understand this and meanwhile they just look at me crazy or like a loser...
I think maybe one reason why people are not quick to believe this concept of true happiness is that they are hanging on to concept and they fear letting it go... I'm guilty of it too I just have not gotten to that stage to fully let go....I have the awareness though.
Dealing with Anxiety and stress made forget who i am. Thank you for letting my spirit free from these symptoms.
Thanks Noah, this helped me out.
Every time I find a small bump, mole, discoloration, I automatically think I have some sort of cancer or disease and it's been really debilitating. Fortunately, this video helped me relieve some of that anxiety
Maximus Crusade Glad it helped you Maximus!
+Maximus Crusade
i was about to ask noah about the fear of a potential serious illness because in this case you know the outcome will not make you at peace....so how do you deal with it?

I've watched each of your videos countless amount of times, and I'm having a realization now that I've never had in times prior.
I've noticed there are background noises: the chirping birds and the sound of nature. In turn, I realize that the lens in which i view the world is becoming less and less clogged with distracting thoughts. The lens is much clearer now than when i first started viewing your videos. I NEVER would have been in the present moment enough to notice the simple bird noises in the back; I would have been thinking about something else and every now and then my attention would come back to your voice.
Thank you so much, Noah.
I crying right now with tears of joy
YAJAIRA RAMIREZ :) thanks for sharing
I've been experiencing severe anxiety and insomnia. I listened to this again and it seems to have calmed me. I've asked some pointed questions at other times (still unanswered, I think), but overall, these are good ideas that lessen anxiety.
Noah you'd be an excellent guest on the anxiety guy podcast please get in touch :)
Anxiety Guy hey Bro ✋ how are you?
Noah's voice is just very soothing. I listen to him now every time I get an anxiety attack.
Very helpful! I love how your videos are logical but also emotionally sensitive. Could you make a video on balancing different aspects of life? And when to notice you're off balance? I think many people would appreciate it!
I recently had a number of problems regarding anxiety caused by the fear of losing something or someone, this really helped me, I won't be able to thank you enough
Can you make a video on death anxiety and the anxiety related to losing loved ones? Or can you link a writing or an article based on this, I've been suffering from such anxiety lately and the worst part is that it is coming in the way of me doing every work, also in the form of existential crisis, whenever I start doing something, thoughts like "why am I doing this? What'll this do to me, I'm going to die anyway" start hovering over my mind and it makes me really upset. Thank you for this video though, your videos have helped me a lot!
This is something I worry about too, more than anything
Yes, this is my problem. I live in terrible fear of something happening to my children, my spouse, or myself. All I want is all four of us to live to a ripe old age. The odds that any of us dying would lead to an ultimately better outcome than all of us living are so small that it simply is not compelling enough to reduce my anxiety. My children need me. There may be another mother for them out there that would be somehow even better, but 1) I'd be dead and 2) I am a really good mother and my children have been raised carefully by me in a unique way.
I need my children. Yes, if they died, I might...say...adopt a child that I have an even more wonderful relationship with...but, again, the odds of this are infinitesimal. My children are my children and my whole world.
The least anxiety is about my spouse, but, again, the chances I could find someone better for me are infinitesimal; we are an excellent match, very much in love, and have been together for over 20 years.
How am I supposed to live with this fear? It eats me alive sometimes.
Just know that when we die.....all the stress and bullshit in life is over.....Ive lost a few close people in the past 10 years.....and thats what helped a ton..... To know that they were finally free of the invisible shackles put on us.....that they were free.....and instead of thinking "whats the point if we are gonna die anyways"......think of how you can make someones day brighter.....try to help atleast one person everyday..... It will keep your mind busy and give you a rewarding feeling....maybe volunteer at a non profit to help people in need.....hope it gets better....and always remember there are other people feeling and thinking the same way you are..... They just dont want to admit it cause they dont want to be judged.....
I will be putting up a video about it soon
Lipi Katiha mines the exact same anxiety.
Your videos have really helped me with my social anxiety, depression and anxiety. They have caused a change of my mind. Now I feel it is very unlikely for my thoughts to drift in a negative direction like they used to. Thankyou.
You're welcome Seemon. Thanks for sharing
Does anxiety cause numbness, tingling, Spasms, burning on your head? nausea , upset stomach, insomnia, night sweats, high blood pressure? Do you feel light headed and get a sense of something bad is going to happen to you?
Josue Munoz yes! All the time!
Vieira Family thank you good to know I'm not the only one that feels that way! Do you ever feel that way even when you are laying down?
Josue Munoz yes I do.
Josue Munoz It causes all of the above!!
Everything is going to be alright.... you just have to be strong
This was outstanding cognitive introspection. I was so tired of the same advice, sleep more, eat better, exercise more, be more social, all of those advices only added more anxiety. This addresses the psychological root. At the start of the video, my whole body was so tense all my muscles started to burn and atrophy, my heart was pounding, I couldn't breathe and my head was full of air. By the end of the video I was breathing calmly and completely relaxed, my headache went away and the tightness disappeared instantly. Amazing
+SK Productions Glad it helpled
This is a very nice video and I liked how you were really calm and it felt really soothing
Bebskie Abrugar thank you! I'll look into that
I like your profile picture 😂 #bmoforlife
Becca Laila yay thank you! #bmoforlife
You speak so eloquently and you have a soothing voice. Keep spreading positive messages.
its like a dream for me everyday i dont feel like im in real life,your video helped me but the feeling is still there and i suffer from panic attacks recently
how to get through it?
I feel the same way. And know one understands. It sucks. I have pain in my chest and sometimes I'm scared to even goto sleep. It really sucks
hi noah how can i thank you enough before watching your videos i was so panic and stress all the time that i might do wrong things all the time
but because of you ui feel at peace now whenever i will tell story in my mind positive or negative i started practicing your lectures that i should tell myseilf that what im thinking is not real and it helped me so much to be calm
i want to say i love you for being a concern human being to people like me who have anxiety everyday torturing myself
and you know what i always watch your videos as a reminder not to come back to the old me the depressed, stressed person before
thank you Noah , was having a bad day and found your video I feel way better makes so much sense thank you !
You're welcome Mandee
this is the best anxiety video i have ever seen. it addresses every problem i have in just the right manner. thank you so much.
Anxiety is just a lifestyle now. I constantly feel like I might pass out or like there’s cotton in my head and I can’t think straight. My muscles are weak and my body shakes constantly, and I always think I can sleep it off, but when I wake up in the mornings it’s still there. I started skipping things I really need to do just because I literally have no energy anymore and I’ve convinced myself I’m dying of some horrible disease and just don’t know it. It’s awful.
Adrielle B You described my condition literally!
@@dr.natasa I have the same thing well have u been an alcoholic or smoker ?!
I've been so worried for almost a month now, I know a month isn't that long but wow, there are so many things in this world to be scared about I just wish I could just realize the happy things in life but I just worry to much, again, you help a lot thank you so much there is no other youtuber like you thank you ☺️
I just subbed coz of this. Ur a real help to those with anxiety.
This was amazing. Rewired myself.
This wont help everyone but you have to listen to this with intent and passion to move on from your anxiety. I hope everyone that comes here get better. Wish you all well❤️
what about anxiety of losing your health?
You are a man who makes peace, internally and yourself your are so special, Shalom
Reporter Toda. I'm glad the video was helpful for you.
me and 5 billion of us, you are a true Human !
yeah I get nausea, lightheaded, rapid heart pounding so hard that it moves my body, short of breath,
went to the E.R they said my blood was good my urine was good and they took x ray of my chest and took pics of 12 different angles of my heart and it was normal they said it can be anxiety
It's anxiety
Yeah, I had a terrible anxiety attack. I went to hospital after feeling extremely light headed and having severe palpatations, I was convinced I was having a heart attack or a stroke. They did a blood test which came back clear. Hooked me up to an ECG for a few hours, my heart rate was pretty high due to the stress of it all. They sent me home chalking it up to anxiety.
I will be honest, I only listened to what you were saying for about 5 minutes. But then I just listened to your voice and I was so calmed. Thank you!
haha you're welcome
I'm twice your age, but I wish you could have told me this 40 years ago.
Impossible, right? Anyway, I know what you're saying makes sense, because
I followed a similar path. But I didn't get as far as you did. (That's why I
wish I could have received your message all those years ago.) Now that I
know how it works in greater perspective, I'm motivated to continue. Thank
you for all these great videos. I'm so happy I finally got it.
+mars bender You're welcome Mars... good luck with the journey
Noah makes so much sense and never thought of it the way he is talking about. I am going to have to watch this video again so it sinks in.
I can’t help being worried. I _cant_ stop my anxiety I was born with anxiety and I think my mum was as well. I always get stressed and worried about stuff and I sometimes get paranoid about stuff and I think that people are watching/stalking me and I always care what people think. I always think something bad is gonna happen that I’m gonna die in some way or that I will lose everything.
JoshyJ 2 years passed and how are you now ?
I watched this at a turbulent time, and it took away so much burden from my mind its unbelievable! Thank You!
+anuradha pandit You're welcome Anuradha
What if you have anxiety about feeling sick or bad?
Great video! It's so simple to realize the truth behind things. This concept can more or less be applied to anything. Find the real reasons why you feel a certain way and realize the outcomes of each situation. Don't let yourself be limited by the fear of the unknown or of what is bad because you don't know. Best advice ever, just simplify and realize situations.
+Caleb Hayward Thanks Caleb
thanks. this helped a ton
You're welcome
Noah Elkrief i have ocd and hand anxiety like i dont like touching objects at school home and anywhere will u make a video to overcome ocd and hand anxiety
I love this man’s videos they always seem to calm me and guide me when I feel like life has gotten too overwhelming. I’ve had anxiety for years now and it causes some pretty nasty symptoms, in turn these symptoms give me more anxiety and the cycle just continues and it feels like the more panic attacks I get the worse and worse the anxiety feels. My mind starts racing, the back of my throat feels like it’s caught on fire and it’s a super uncomfortable experience. I’ve gone to therapists throughout the year that have helped me coop but ever so often I go through a rut in life that just opens back up the box of monsters and it feels awful but I always go back to Noah’s videos to help ground myself especially when I have no one to talk to or life gets too busy to start visiting a therapist. I know that very soon the anxiety will be past me and I’ll once again be enjoying my life I just want everyone to know that you’re not alone and there’s a lot of people going through this with you. You’ll get passed this just like every single person has and even if you find yourself anxious again it’ll become easier and easier to control until you’ll never run into it unnecessarily again. Happy holidays everyone.
I hate the thoughts that come with anxiety. my mind is telling me I'm going to pass in my sleep, it's scaring me. can any one relate?
Hella. Dora yes
Hella. Dora yes
Think of it as IF I PASS, I PASS. You haven't yet have you? 👍
For one, I've find your voice to be very calming, which really helps me be able to hone in and listen to what you're trying to tell me. I started a TH-cam channel a couple of months ago, so I figured I would do a little bit of research in trying to help me with my anxiety, which I have suffered from pretty much all of my life. I really love everything you had to say in this video, and will try to continue to practice what you teach. I've realized that I try to get positive affirmation a lot in my life because I have such a negative image of myself, and letting that go will be a challenge, but if I practice not having an expectation, maybe one day I'll be free from the need to be reassured and the fear of what people might think of me.
Thank you so much for this.
do I hear birds in the background :)?
Cherry Blossom perhaps
The way you explain anxiety, the understanding of why and how to deal with it, is amazing. I don't think it will be easy to unlearn it, but I'm willing to try. Will just listen to the video again and again. Thank you! 🙏
Like 6 months ago I was really skinny then I started going t the gym and I started to like my body and I thought I was looking stronger so I told one of my best friends and I sent a picture of me flexing because I was proud of it. He saved the picture and he keeps deleting it and getting it back. He is posting the photo online and sending it around and everyyime he deletes it off of his phone he gets it back to embarrass me. He is no longer my friend because of this. I have trouble falling asleep at night because of the pain in my chest and stomach and the anxiety that he will send it around and it's going to get out there. (I used to have really bad anxiety when I was skinny but going to the gym and going to the therapist made me get over it but lately it's been coming back) what should I do to get over this anxiety, he says he deleted the photo but he has said this 4 times before so I don't believe him
I feel like sometimes my anxiety helps me to feel more alive. That when I overcome a anxious moment I feel a rush of emotional well-being, that I am being what I should be in that moment. On the whole though anxiety is a nightmare, repetitive circumstances of unfocused fear. Fear of hurting people or animals is what triggers me the worst; or fear of enjoying the suffering of others. This is a great video, thanks Noah.
I am never satisfied with myself. I mean never which contributes to my anxiety. I have all four types of anxiety.
Me too! It sucks!
me too. I have severe anxiety
I‘m crying tears of relief! Thank you Noah Elkrief!
My anxiety hit me like a train after my hydrocelectomy surgery. for some reason the changes assosiated with it became too much and i became anxious and severely depressed. Some days are better and others are worse but its been like this for nearly 2 weeks now. This video helped alot. Thanks.
I've been having major anxiety and I've been truly suffering and having panic attacks every day but watching this video has helped me. I just want to say thank you.
You're very welcome Mirna!
30k subs? ..should be 1m+
I usually shake uncontrollably and make myself worse because I'm battling my own thoughts and I try to tell myself to breathe through it. Thank you for these videos without them sometimes I would not be able to calm down. Thank you Noah and everyone out there that supports mental health awareness and all of us battling it!

Glad you enjoyed the video Yorke. I will be making a few videos about social anxiety in a few weeks.
Suffering from some pretty heavy anxiety lately. I would like to thank you sincerely for helping me see a silver lining
You have just made my day:) Im free now thankyou.

Noah Elkrief: this video is SOOO IMPORTANT for me! THANK YOU for it FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
Is it just me or did you make it to where you made your aura green?
It looks green to me too. wat
Thank you Noah your videos are really helping me.
I'm sure many of us would appreciate a video on generalised anxiety if possible.
Bless you for all your time and effort you put in to helping others.
so I am 28 with 3 kids I am very young unfortunately with a lot of stressful situations in my life right now court issues, my kids, daily life issues, my relationship, i just found out my partner just cheated on me nd worse it's a lot I am alone me and my family don't talk nomore someone tell me why am I waking up shaking crying nervous fear a lot of other suffering issues
Hi Noah. I think that you are amazing and I love how you spell things out. You have definitely found your calling and I can guarantee that you are helping a hell of a lot of people, and for that I have a deep respect for you brother. My question is, have you ever considered doing a video on how to relieve or control anxiety when people are trying to make you anxious. I have been doing extensive research on the subject and could give you some first hand tips. Think about it. Believe me when I tell you that you would be beyond peace and happiness. Regardless, I think you are an incredible human being, and as we now know, that is only my unreal opinion. Thanks again.
My anxiety is back from a breakup with a girlfriend
I was having an anxiety attack when I started watching this and it was gone half way through... your voice is so calming, it helped also.
i think i have anxiety, i struggle walking outside by others, i start shaking and feel extreme uncomfortability, from anyone elderly or youngsters, i feel anxiety just by getting up when someone is looking at me, i know theres a non fixable problem with my body, and everyone looks weird to it, or atleast thats how it seems to me, i think others have it but it dosent effect them, i seem different :( i dont go outside much as theres people there, so am enxuos about them seeing me in this world, i feel i shud be invisible, is something wrong with me? :( idk...
Marius Kajanas Try my social anxiety videos Marius. There is nothing wrong with you.
+Noah Elkrief okey, thanks!
this is exactly how i feel.
This has helped so much. I have been worrying for days over starting a new job, and I feel so much better now
