    I tip I was told, is to offload your thoughts into a voice recorder (or app on your phone). Listen to them back as though it's your best friend telling you their worries. Then record what you would say back to them as advice. This is great for creating distance from your thoughts, perspective and re-framing concerns.

    Needed to hear this so bad. Thank you for this video. Ever since I started my new job 5 months ago I realized that I have slowly developed anxiety over the months. At first it started with negative thoughts which only happened at worked but soon stopped. But now everytime I came home I wouldn't feel like my usual self. I felt tired and stressed out and I would get anxiety attacks right before sleeping. I thought I had developed a mental disorder but then I realized that it was because I wasn't doing anything to relieve my stress and it just kept building up to the point where I started feeling anxious whenever I came home. Add some sleep deprivation and you can see where this led me. This man right here pretty much confirmed what I've been feeling.

    His suggestion about changing clothes is real. I never get out of my pajamas and my mindset is about chilling 24/7.

    In his autobiography, “Grinding it Out,” Ray Kroc said he would clear his mind before bed by picturing a blackboard full of writing, and imagining himself erasing all the writing off the board. He said that process really cleared his mind.

    We stress about work not at work, we're too busy, we stress about it after, at home. Active thinking doesn't activate stress, but ruminations (I have too much work) do - they slip out uninvited.

    If using the same computer for work and for leisure, have to accounts, one for work, one for personal use. Your mindset will be associated with the setup for each.

    Just knowing someone else struggles with what I struggle with is a more than good enough reason why I listen to these types of Ted talks. ❤️🧡💛💚💙
