  • Update March 10, 2019. I've made everything 100% free here: www.udemy.com/beat-anxiety-fo...
    Hey guys, I appreciate all the comments and emails over the years. I'm overjoyed to know that these videos, my book and other programs have helped so many others struggling with anxiety.
    I've taken down my website and decided to make my entire video-based program 100% free for everyone. You can get access here, all you have to do is create a free account:
    www.udemy.com/beat-anxiety-fo...
    This program is the culmination of all my years of hard work in creating something that can help everyone struggling with anxiety. I get too many emails and messages to ever be able to respond to all of them, just know that this program is flat out what works and get you to where you want to be.
    I wish you the best with your recovery, please just follow what I teach in the program and know that you can find peace in your life. I'm living proof. I was an absolute wreck with anxiety, and if I can have a complete recovery... anyone can.
    Those scary thoughts will likely never go away, and that's okay... you'll learn that they don't have any real power anyways, and that you're 100% in charge of your life and how you live your life.
    I believe in you and know that you're going to come out of this just fine. Stick with the program, keep pushing yourself, and I promise you won't believe how amazing the freedom feels on the other side.
    I wish you nothing but the best, and know that you're going to be just fine :-)

    Thank you so much, I've suffered from anxiety attacks from a young age, and they keep happening. As soon as I watched this video I burst into tears, since almost all videos I've watched on anxiety tips talk about how the brain works and no actual answer. But I feel better now that I'm not alone. I'm so happy I've herd it from someone else who knows what it's like, and a simple go to answer. So thank you.

      I just had a really bad anxiety attack and was trying to calm myself down like I always try to afterwards... But it was really not working this time so in my panicked state, I looked up how to calm an anxiety attack and here I am...
      I tried it and I started to tear up because it actually worked. Something about this guy's voice was really soothing too...
      So glad I looked this up.

  • @missgirl1000
    @missgirl1000 5 ปีที่แล้ว +47

    I don’t know how to explain it but I always get stressed out and anxious from everyday things. For example, sometimes the night before I make a list in my head of what I’m going to do the next day. Such as cleaning my room, I want to get it done because I’m a neat freak, but then I get lazy and don’t do it. Then I start getting a panic attack and procrastinating even more just because I didn’t clean my room. Usually this happens on the weekends, and then when I don’t do it, it becomes the week. And I have even more things to worry and stress about like school. Which piles onto my things to do. Fml

    • @MoroFullmetal
      @MoroFullmetal 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Make it the first thing you do in the morning. No breakfast, nothing else. Wake up and clean! That way you won't lose sight of it, even if you clean for just 5 minutes.

    @SuperRebelKitty 6 ปีที่แล้ว +32

    Thank you that helped SO much. I know to some people, this may seem like an obvious technique, like many techniques for anxiety, but when my anxiety is bad it's easy to forget to focus on something as simple as breathing. I'm sure I can't be the only one that finds themselves holding their breath in all day unintentionally.

    • @michaelr.6065
      @michaelr.6065 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Hi Steve,
    I've spent the last 3 hours wide awake feeling stressed when I should be asleep. I searched 'how to calm down' and clicked on this link. I tried the technique and felt instantly better!
    Thank you so much. Good night!

    It's quite simple but I never really thought of it, and it did help me just now when breathing techniques alone didn't do much. That tension feeling inside my body is one of the most frustrating things I've experienced. I really appreciate you sharing your tip, thank you so much :)

    I get very anxious when I'm going to eat out with my friends or on a date, cause I get really nauseous and sometimes I have to run to the restroom and throw up. It really pissess me off, I can't start a relationship cause I get so anxious around people I'm dating and I feel like throwing up everytime.

      You have to wait to see how is the date going on and be yourself, don't to it automatically bad. Just try this once to see how good can your life be. 👌

    • @ReeseWMartin
      @ReeseWMartin 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My advice is to be honest. If you communicate with your potential date over the internet (like tinder or something), let them know you have anxiety if you feel comfortable with sharing. Letting them know you may need to take some space to calm down does two things: it sets expectations so the person knows they haven't done anything wrong. And it also allows you to gauge their reaction to your mental health struggles. If they are accepting and kind, you may have find someone worth being with.

    This is so frustrating, I'm wondering if it even is anxiety I suffer with anymore and not something worse, my anxiety is extremely physical, that's the part I dont like, I don't mind feeling a little mentally worried about something, that's a breeze compared to what I go through, but when I'm on the edge of a panic attack (which is most of the time) breathing is the last thing I want to be thinking about yet everyone seems to say breathing techniques are the best option, deep breaths make me feel much worse because I just feel like I'm breathing in empty air, taking conscious control of my breathing at all makes everything worse, what the hell is wrong with me? Honestly It's been many years now, no matter what I try nothing works and Im actually going insane, and I'm becoming someone I don't like because of my frustration, I really feel so close to the end now.

      +ProjectMoff When you feel it physically it means your body has a build up of Cortisol. Exercise helps reduce the amount of Cortisol. I hope this helps. Please don't give up. There is a supplement called Inositol. Buy it in powder form and 3 doses/day up to 2000 mg per day.

      I know most people disagree with heart math but their freeze frame technique works really well for me. Another technique I use is exhale as much air as possible and hold for a count of ten then inhale and hold for ten then exhale slowly and hold for ten. After that you should be calm. You could even combine the breathing exercise with heart maths freeze frame technique.

    well, theres 1 thing that ve been bothering me alot. and thats speaking in front of a group. today i was at this group with 40-50 people, and we were gonna present ourself 1 at the time. and god i got nervous, my heart started to beat like crazy, i felt the blood rushing to my head making my skin red, and i was just shaking. and that was just when i was waiting for my turn. well the presentation didnt go that well, but i dont really care about that. i was laughing at myself for being an idiot at the way home, even told my friends how stupid i looked and sounded. so yeah i dont care if people laugh or not.
    i think i have a fear of anxiety, meaning that i fear the fear (if that makes sense). i fear that people can see my fears, like when i was completely red, i feared that people saw that i was red. oh and after u presented myself (or tried to) the anxiety level fell down and was gone in 45 seconds or so.
    but yeah, am gonna go there tomorrow too, and present myself again. and am gonna try this technique and see if it works :P
