      Ms. Boombalati stay strong, I no longer have anxiety, what I did was life more in the presence. Don’t think of what you have to do later and what happened in the past. Instead think of ways you can help yourself in a better way by doing things you enjoy, take care. 🖤

      We cannot do anything on our own. Only Jesus can and he will. Just repent and ask him into your life. He will take it away. He took my fear of covid during this lockdown when I was home alone for months facing great anxiety and heaviness in my heart but cry out to Jesus when you are drowning in pain and he will deliver you. He took it away overnight which I know full well I coudnt have done on my own. But whats impossible with man is possible with Jesus. He is the way, the truth and the life. You will find life in him in this world ruled by death.

      I always feel like I have to do things perfectly or go through a situation perfectly but when I feel like that I always mess up afterwards. You know what has been helping me with this? "Put yourself in uncomfortable situations where people may laugh at you" this makes you not to put too much pressure on yourself or feel like you should do things perfectly. Of course you shouldn't literally have to put yourself in situations where people will laugh at you but it helps to not put too much pressure on yourself because you'll be ok with making mistakes. Being ok with making mistakes can even be very attractive as well.

      Fear
      Be one with fear and you master it.
      Fear Is Not Wanting
      Fear is ultimately rooted in not wanting things, like thoughts and or feelings, to be the way they are. The inner "no." We think fear is something to be condemned and overcome without even knowing what fear really is. But in reality, we don't want many of the things we think we need to overcome. In reality, we need to lovingly acknowledge and integrate the not wanting and realize that fear is what we don't want, and that the goal of overcoming fear is not necessarily to overcome fear, but to lovingly acknowledge and integrate the not wanting in order to ultimately find peace. Everything unwanted is fear. So being against everything is the ultimate fear. The way to make peace with fear is to acknowledge and integrate what we don't want. To want what we don't want. That is the path we must take to find peace. I hope you can gain understanding from this. It really helps me. I used to think I was weak or not good enough because I hadn't overcome certain fears in my past. But now I know that I didn't want those things and that's why I hadn't done them. So the fear is not necessarily there to be overcome. Because we don't want a lot of those things and that's okay.

      The Courage To Be Strong
      The courage to be strong is the shield to protect oneself against the manipulating fears that attack one. To be strong in spite of this and not to let oneself be manipulated is the courage to be strong.
      The Courage And The Fear
      Courage is knowing what you want and doing it. Fear is knowing what you don't want and not doing it.
      Courage Is An Art
      Courage is an art. Overcoming fears is difficult when fear has the upper hand. When manipulative fears have the upper hand, we even make fools of ourselves and do things we don't even really want to do. Only when we unite with fear, do we have the upper hand with fear, and so at the same time the courage arises to do what we really decide to do.

      I agree especially when she drew the comparison between the natural anxiety people feel when they are facing a big bear.
      I feel that kind of anxiety every day and all night.
      Even trying to 'relax' makes me feel more anxious.
      However, I am starting to face my anxiety more than I used to.
      I'm currently taking little steps such as going out at busy times of the day and putting myself in situations I would normally avoid.
      I don't feel comfortable 'yet' but the key thing is that I'm trying to cope in spite of having a severe anxiety disorder.

I watched this and it helped me so much. Now six months later I am happy, I have a job, I’ve turned my life around. I was so far gone, I’d been so depressed since I was 15. But now I wake up and feel happy. No longer afraid to be out in public. Tapered out my meds I’ve been on for 14 years. I sleep at night and wake up refreshed in the morning. If my life can be this good then so can yours. I was so poor I never knew how to pay rent and now I’m independent and have the nicest colleagues. Hold on, life will be beautiful. Just hold on

It's not easy but it helps me to know that I'm not alone. I hope this helps u too. If u wanna share what u are worrying about just tell me ❣️❤️❤️

      I have anxiety too, but believe me when you have anxiety you ALWAYS see the worst outcomes and you can become defensive which causes you to mistake peoples emotions for being negative when they aren't. Your life is important so make friends. It may be hard at first and some people won't want to be friends.. Don't give up! I'm no doctor but hopefully this TH-cam comment will help you :)

      A few years ago, a therapist suggested that I imagine that I’m relaxed and floating above everything: all my negative thoughts and anxiety and “what if’s” - and just picture looking down and seeing those feelings as I fly above and over them. She said I should picture that I see my fears and I know they’re there, but since I’m coasting along high above all my fears - they can’t hurt me. She was a very calming person, and it sounded great when she said it, but I’ve still not quite mastered it.

      Fear
      Be one with fear and you master it.
      Fear Is Not Wanting
      Fear is ultimately rooted in not wanting things, like thoughts and or feelings, to be the way they are. The inner "no." We think fear is something to be condemned and overcome without even knowing what fear really is. But in reality, we don't want many of the things we think we need to overcome. In reality, we need to lovingly acknowledge and integrate the not wanting and realize that fear is what we don't want, and that the goal of overcoming fear is not necessarily to overcome fear, but to lovingly acknowledge and integrate the not wanting in order to ultimately find peace. Everything unwanted is fear. So being against everything is the ultimate fear. The way to make peace with fear is to acknowledge and integrate what we don't want. To want what we don't want. That is the path we must take to find peace. I hope you can gain understanding from this. It really helps me. I used to think I was weak or not good enough because I hadn't overcome certain fears in my past. But now I know that I didn't want those things and that's why I hadn't done them. So the fear is not necessarily there to be overcome. Because we don't want a lot of those things and that's okay.

      The Courage To Be Strong
      The courage to be strong is the shield to protect oneself against the manipulating fears that attack one. To be strong in spite of this and not to let oneself be manipulated is the courage to be strong.
      The Courage And The Fear
      Courage is knowing what you want and doing it. Fear is knowing what you don't want and not doing it.
      Courage Is An Art
      Courage is an art. Overcoming fears is difficult when fear has the upper hand. When manipulative fears have the upper hand, we even make fools of ourselves and do things we don't even really want to do. Only when we unite with fear, do we have the upper hand with fear, and so at the same time the courage arises to do what we really decide to do.

I don't have any control on my life because of a health issue and my anxiety is living is best life because of my lack of actions and sense of living. When I do, just one thing, that makes me feel I'm in control, I'm someone else ! The thing is to never stop making choices,/actions because anxiety come back very quick. It works. If you really wanna do something, breathe and do it without thinking. It's terrifying at first but so much fun when you're doing it, and even after because you're so proud of yourself and so impressed how good and easy it was.

      true, momentum is key. If you can socialize or speak infront of a crowd without feeling very anxious, make it your routine. Your brain realizes that socializing is not a do or die situation, and it actually becomes fun. I guess the speaker has undergone this desensitization therapy, no wonder she's very calm.

    I used to not have anxiety. I used to be so care free and so happy with myself. Before all of this I struggled with self love and I still do/did but not as much. I was so happy a month ago but then my anxiety was triggered. I’m not gonna say what started it since it’s a long story but I feel that I am not fully in control of my life anymore and I feel as if someone else is controlling it for me.
    My mind tells me to do and not to do certain things and it’s hard to forgive myself for the smallest little things that don’t even matter. I overthink most things that I say and do. It’s almost as if I have a second voice in my head and not just one anymore.
    I miss being happy and I miss feeling like myself. I miss being carefree and confident about myself in life.
    I’ve had friends and family with similar problems who have gotten over their anxiety and they tell me this feeling will pass. It really doesn’t feel like it though I know I’ll recover.

    This made me cry. I'm too scared to go to a therapist or to even talk to anyone about my problems and all the videos I've watched so far always said to go to a therapist to finally take a step towards recovery. I am not diagnosed to have anxiety, obviously, but I've had those symptoms for approximately six months now and I was about to give up every chance of recovery. To finally hear that there are ways I can work towards mental health on my own makes me so happy and I'm so, SO grateful for this video!! Thank you so much!!!

I tell my friend I’m going to cry and she tells me ‘don’t cry! why are you crying?’ I wish those words comforted me, but they don’t. That’s like telling me to breathe, but I’m underwater. I told her I might have anxiety, but she *probably didn’t believe me.* I told my mom I had a headache, she told me I need to sleep more. I told her that i didn’t know why it happened. *But there was.* I cried quite hard and apparently you can get headaches because of that. It was so bad.

    To anyone reading this, what worked for my anxiety is to separate myself from it, realize that it didn't define me and that it was merely a malfunction in my brain, something like a cramp in my leg. This is powerful because it enables you to simply observe your anxiety without worrying about it. Worrying about or fearing your anxiety multiplies it. When you consciously realise that IT CAN'T HURT YOU, you are free from it. Other than that, stop focusing on your anxiety and distract your mind. Go for a run, listen to music, and although because of your anxiety, you will put this off and will want to lie down and sleep around, FIGHT IT AND DO WHAT YOU WANT. Take back control, and surrender the parts that you can't control. If you can't remove your anxiety, remove your fear of your anxiety which is very easy to do! You are beautiful and special and infact beyond any concepts that words can construct. You are extraordinary and capable of Fighting off this little overactive germ that anxiety is. Once you fear it, you give it control. Take back control. And trust yourself to do it!

    I suffered with severe anxiety and panic attacks in my early 20’s. it was the worst thing I have ever gone through. Absolutely debilitating!
    I overcome it within 12 months by doing the following:
    Ditching anything with caffeine, ie: chocolate, & coffee. Ditching alcohol and smoking. Went to hypnotherapy sessions and learnt also how to relax my body. Understanding the trigger point of what was causing my anxiety in the first instance. Getting out of house and being around positive people, people who can lift you up and not bring you down. Going for walks, and enjoying a laugh again.
    Turn your anxiety from your damnation into your salvation. Using self cognitive therapy you can fight it yourself without drugs or medications.

    My anxiety has turned my hair grey at a very young age. Everything she said, I have experienced first hand. It also seems that my anxiety is worsening as Im growing old. Missed many opportunities, could do alot better with life if this anxiety wasnt in my life.
    But I did learn with experience battling anxiety a few tips.
    1 - As we tend to be perfectionists, practice practice practice everything that makes you anxious. It works both as desensitizing therapy and makes you good at that task.
    2 - Stop procratinating. As she mentioned, do it badly but do it.
    3 - Try focusing. Keep yourself less aware of your surroundings. Focus more on your present, forget past.
    4 - Depend less on medications. Its your mind and subconscious trying to takeover conscious you. You can fight back and win.
    We are previledged. Being brave is something we value, learn and apply rightly in our lives.
    Best of luck to all friends.

      Fear
      Be one with fear and you master it.
      Fear Is Not Wanting
      Fear is ultimately rooted in not wanting things, like thoughts and or feelings, to be the way they are. The inner "no." We think fear is something to be condemned and overcome without even knowing what fear really is. But in reality, we don't want many of the things we think we need to overcome. In reality, we need to lovingly acknowledge and integrate the not wanting and realize that fear is what we don't want, and that the goal of overcoming fear is not necessarily to overcome fear, but to lovingly acknowledge and integrate the not wanting in order to ultimately find peace. Everything unwanted is fear. So being against everything is the ultimate fear. The way to make peace with fear is to acknowledge and integrate what we don't want. To want what we don't want. That is the path we must take to find peace. I hope you can gain understanding from this. It really helps me. I used to think I was weak or not good enough because I hadn't overcome certain fears in my past. But now I know that I didn't want those things and that's why I hadn't done them. So the fear is not necessarily there to be overcome. Because we don't want a lot of those things and that's okay.

    These are all great tips, but I'd like to add - anxiety is your body responding to a non-threat as a threat. The best way I find to combat ANY fear or anxiety is to understand the mechanisms which cause it. Learn about the physiology of the brain and nervous system and why our brains respond the way they do. The more you know, the less you fear.

      yeah, i still have anxiety but I have felt some improvements. I think Living in a healthy way is the most important. Try to get full nights rest, eat properly, socialize, excercise. Do something that completely gets your mind focused and stops overthinking. Like playing a sport. Playing a sport is really good. But sometimes even working can be stress relieving since you're forced to focus on your job and your mind doesn't have time to let in negative thoughts. It's all about developing habits that help you. Try to write them down so you don't forget them and try to write down patterns you notice in yourself. You can do it!!!!

      I literally call myself a worthless hag that deserves to deal with all this anxiety/depression/stress, and tell myself to deal with it. I've been feeling so stressed lately because I sit for more than 12 hours a day online doing my school work. My teachers assign one after another assignment and there is this one class that I have to push all other classes out of the day just to simply understand what I'm even doing in that class. He gave us a long-term 4 part speaking project with almost no directions. I don't know where to start, and it's giving me anxiety. Then, there is all my other classes which are giving me test after test, and project after project. My parents also pressure me to get done because I have to leave to go to church at 6 (this is during the week). I'm also tired considering I go to sleep every night at 2 and wake up at 7am. I rarely eat lately too because everything is unappetizing and I don't want to sound ungrateful or anything like that, but it always seems like I have nothing to eat. It's so tiring, and just gives me chest pains. I have undereye bags (although I have those on the weekend as well even when I get sleep). I'm just not sure how much I can go, and watching this video did nothing lol
      Sorry for wasting your time (even if no one reads this but sometimes, I feel better when I write down my problems and feel like someone might listen. My family doesn't even know I'm suicidal and I would only be in trouble if they knew). I also feel anger inside these days, and I don't think it's particularly healthy. Anyways, sorry for my rant

    Some takeaways from this sharing:
    1) Anything worth doing is worth doing badly the first time. Realise more often than not it's not that bad.
    2) Forgive yourself for your mistakes.
    3) Have a purpose or meaning in life. Think of someone you're benefitting and the work that will benefit the future generations.
    It doesn't matter if they will know because you will know, and this is will make you realise the uniqueness and importance of your life.

    I go to a lot of parties, and I never talk to people because I feel anxious. I feel light headed, my stomach churning and my mind racing in circles, only second after the other. I want you to know, yes, it’s hard. Yes, it’s difficult, and yes, it can sometimes be scary. I’m not going to lie, I’m at a party right now and my friend sent me this after I asked them for help because I was shaking so much. But what I want everyone watching this to know is that you are not alone. You will think of things that you do want to, overthink, or talk to yourself and that is totally ok. But you need to know that this is totally okay! I do that every goddamn day, and I want you to feel good about it. I want you to feel good about yourself, and instead of trying to feel good about others, feel good about yourself. One step at a time, and you will push through this, and this will stay with you for the rest of your life and I want you to feel proud of it because no one is perfect. And you will never be who you want to be because you are you and you are unique and I want you to feel good about it. One step at a time, and I hope everything gets better for whoever is reading this. Have a great day/night!

      Hey there! If you're dealing with anxiousness, I want you to know that hypnotherapy can really help. It works by accessing your subconscious mind to address the negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to anxious feelings.
      As a hypnotherapist, I help clients with hypnotherapy as an effective and natural treatment option that can give you back a sense of control and confidence.
      So if you're struggling with anxiousness, consider giving hypnotherapy a try. It might just be the breakthrough you've been looking for.

    I’ve struggled with depression, OCD, and anxiety throughout my life. Some times better than others. In recent years, I’ve been pretty good, but all of a sudden, I’ve been stricken with intense anxiety seemingly out of nowhere. It’s odd, sometimes I’ll feel ok and then not, and back and fourth. It’s so odd, I’ve never really felt sensations like this before in my life. Even some borderline suicidal thoughts have crept into my mind. It makes me feel vulnerable and weak, but seeing that so many other people struggle with it makes me feel a little better. Just hearing one of the “relax your muscles” ads really helped me reload before typing this. And I’m so glad to have friends and family, and am thankful to god for my life. It’s hard right now, but at this very moment I’m feeling a lot better. It will probably be hard, but I will not give up. To anyone else reading who may feel the same, or even worse (I’m sure there’s a lot of you out there) STAY STRONG! 💪 Even if it doesn’t feel like it, there are people who love and care about you, and whether or not you believe in god or not, I still know that he loves you. Ok rant over thanks for reading and wish me luck, because I’m wishing it to you! :)

      STLCODPS3123. In life there are only 2 problems -mind and the body. To feel better reduce negative thoughts. 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. Observe your breath sensations without any expectations when taking a walk, at work, when reading, before sleep etc. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a better life. Reduce negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes- Prayers--Counsellor.

    Conclusion- strategies to cope with anxiety
    1. Do it badly- thus helps avoiding setting perfect high standard goal and gets you going. Improve as you go along
    2. Forgive yourself/be kind to yourself- for mistakes you think you have made
    3. Having a purpose that some one else depends on your accomplishment/work

    A helpful TedTalk. Olivia Remes is such a good and patient speaker. She got my attention this way. Her suggestions for coping with anxiety are helpful 1) Do it...badly...Do it! Because it gives you a sense of control and eventually an avenue to accomplishing things. 2) Forgive yourself. Big for me. I don't think I lack self-forgiveness - but I (probably do) because it keeps me stuck on the wrong choices I made millions of years ago - like never finishing graduate school. I feel such shame and anger and unforgiveness because it trickled into other problems and got me "stuck" and afraid to make other choices. Yes, I will work to forgive myself. 3) Purpose. Find YOUR purpose. This is the least encouraging to me...because the heavy thoughts leave me feeling empty. Nothing - these last 10 years matters to me. Try as I may - I do start (Do it). I do forgive myself - sometimes. Yet, my mind is a big blank...try as I might - I am not able to connect. The fear, the anxiety, the unforgiveness (perhaps) makes me "think" - feel nothing matters. Still what Olivia Remes said reminds to "I must" find purpose. I'm glad this talk will help others. peace.

Fear of death crippled me and fear for my family was worse than fear over my own death. Always hearing the news, death after death only wickedness and no hope. I spend months with panic attacks, times with difficulty breathing and other times with just a sense of doom and death around me, sometimes even just hoping for death so i dont fear it anymore just wanting everything to be over. Cry out to Jesus and he will deliver you from your fears. He took away my fear overnight which i knew i couldnt do myself. He will help you, he sees your heart. He is the one who overcame death to bring us to eternal life in him.

    I must say, she speaks beautifully. I've had anxiety for 13 years or so. At the moment I'm really suffering with it. I cant go anywhere without a family member accompanying me. I've lost all my independence. Its crushing me. It takes over every aspect of my life. I just wish I could feel normal instead of being hyper aware. It's like I know something that no one else does. I'm afraid too often. No one should have to live like this.

      Hey there Paul, I agree! If you're dealing with anxiousness, I want you to know that hypnotherapy can really help. It works by accessing your subconscious mind to address the negative thoughts and beliefs that contribute to anxious feelings.
      As a hypnotherapist, I help clients with hypnotherapy as an effective and natural treatment option that can give you back a sense of control and confidence.
      So if you're struggling with anxiousness, consider giving hypnotherapy a try. It might just be the breakthrough you've been looking for.

      Mental health during the pandemic is super super hard. Maybe try talking to your mom and letting her know whats going on. I don't know how old you are but when I was in high school I was super scared to tell my mom about my bad mental health, but it got so bad she found out anyway. I regret not telling her sooner because there was really no reason to be afraid. Its okay to ask for help from others, and if you find yourself in a situation where you feel in danger, message a teacher and let them know :) much less scary and that's what I did. Anyways, sounds like therapy and psychiatry could be good for you. I hope you're a bit better now at least

      not all phones cause anxiety, it depends what you are doing on your phone, if it distracts you, that's good. let it distract you, if it helps why not do it? if anything phones are used even during social anxiety, sometimes when walking past strangers i need to have my phone just to look at something other then them. it sucks when i don't have my phone cause i can't use anything to distract myself, especially if i'm walking alone and can't chat to my friends, i'd rather have something as a distraction then walking past them all awkwardly.

      Fear
      Be one with fear and you master it.
      Fear Is Not Wanting
      Fear is ultimately rooted in not wanting things, like thoughts and or feelings, to be the way they are. The inner "no." We think fear is something to be condemned and overcome without even knowing what fear really is. But in reality, we don't want many of the things we think we need to overcome. In reality, we need to lovingly acknowledge and integrate the not wanting and realize that fear is what we don't want, and that the goal of overcoming fear is not necessarily to overcome fear, but to lovingly acknowledge and integrate the not wanting in order to ultimately find peace. Everything unwanted is fear. So being against everything is the ultimate fear. The way to make peace with fear is to acknowledge and integrate what we don't want. To want what we don't want. That is the path we must take to find peace. I hope you can gain understanding from this. It really helps me. I used to think I was weak or not good enough because I hadn't overcome certain fears in my past. But now I know that I didn't want those things and that's why I hadn't done them. So the fear is not necessarily there to be overcome. Because we don't want a lot of those things and that's okay.

Also I have a friend that I used to talk to but he moved away. He recently followed me on Instagram and nothing else, hasn’t even tried to reach out, and I have.. nothing back. So there’s an example. It makes it unnecessary to even reach out, cuz you don’t have to. A follow is the same! 😐

I lived for 15 years of my life with daily fear, worry and feeling like I wasn't in control of my own life and thoughts. Until, one day I healed. I found mindset work and personal development and it changed everything for me. No meds, no therapy, just deep inner healing through my own personal power - it works. So my message to you today is: Know that healing is possible for you. I know it's hard to believe now, but I used to think healing was impossible, until it happened for me.
