"neurons that fire more want to fire more and neurons that fire together will wire together" -- I like that! That's a handy way to motivate people to do what their therapist told them to do! ... I'm not quite explaining what I'm thinking at the moment, probably because I really like it and want to tie it into other things. Thanks for the videos!
"Gets rid of memories you don't need" *gets rid of the equations I need for the physics test tomorrow*
No noooooo wait till tomorrow for that =)
could you talk about how to mitigate trauma induced anxiety?
I'm in my mid 40's. I have never, in my life, felt an endorphin rush from exercising. From practicing martial arts (way back when I was a martial artist)? Yes. General exercise? No. I feel awful every single time afterwards.
then maybe get back into martial arts, or if you can't maybe just work on practicing your forms.
The Alphabet game works! I was shocked m, put me right to sleep and made me come up with creative ideas!
Also thank you for talking about the cognitive recognition we should practice when dealing with anxiety, I tend to forget and now that I look at my home it makes perfect sense.
YAY happy you liked it
Never had anxiety until 2020. Is there a term of lockdown-induced, complete government failure in face of a global crisis generated anxiety? And does it just go away when the world stops ending? :)
Literally a year ago today is when I started on my downward trajectory into 2020 anxiety. When Apple news sent me the alert that Kobe Bryant died in helicopter crash. For some reason that hit hard.
probably not. you might have some trauma too. might want to seek therapy if you can afford it.
This helped A LOT. As a person with Generalized Anxiety Disorder and OCD, my brain often finds something to obsess over for a long time. And it usually goes by relevancy for some reason. When I am in school, I worry about my grades an unhealthy amount. Then, I will go onto my relationship. “This persons tone is off, They must hate me.” Or, even worse, “This person is not happy right now, so it must mean they are not happy with me.” Which is KILLER because my partner has Bipolar Disorder and Schizophrenia. It’s all about a hook for me, and whatever seems to have even the tiniest bit of truth behind it, my brain latches on and refuses to let go.
Thank you for these five tips. I admit to reading and listening to advice from other sources similar to the first four items. I had never heard or read advice on “the contagion effect.” Blew my mind! 🤯 So right on!
awesome thanks for it
Well Georgia...I can be graded A++++ on exercise...a "C" on sleep...A++++ on laughter...."B" on eating...."C +" on avoiding stressful people (I try but...they're everywhere! =) I am SO VERY FUN to live with. Theoretically.
CBD oil worked wonders for my anxiety issues. Not sure how it works but I haven’t had any anxiety issues since October 10th, 2019... which is the day I started taking CBD oil.
And exercise is amazing for a anxiety and my ADHD. I spend 1 - 1.5 hrs on my elliptical machine every single day. If I don’t do that, my brain feels mucky foggy.
And I have ran a marathon... barefoot. Best. Thing. Ever.
keep up the good work and may you keep feeling better
Hi ! Cannabis is wonderful in many ways. After a trauma, I had panic attacks and I realized I needed help. Sadly, I had a crazy incompetent and mean doctor that druged me and my system almost broke down, I started losing sense of reality and my whole personnality looked like gone away. My father came to save me and took me to a private clinic and I had my chance to recover. After some time, I was almost healed but my mood was still low and the medications were giving me horrible sensations and side effects. I decided to stop them and I slowly started to smoke weed again, or drink some infusions, mostly legal CBD flowers.
Mood swings and anxiety were gone. I wasn't able to remember my dreams anymore but it's ok, I sleep more and feel more energized in the morning now !
After a year I see a real change, and I am really happy that this plant so precious but badly judged, despised and incriminated, was able to help you like it helps so many people in the world that sttuggle with depression or desease.
On saturday, a friend stayed all night at my home but forgot to bring her medication. She lost sleep for more than 40 hours ! She has huge anxiety issues.. I gave her a fresh fruit juice I mixed with a tea of herbs, cannabis sativa and CBD. It was 06'am and I had a black out, I litterally crashed on the bed when I gave her the juice. After trying every natural pills, oils and sleep-stuffs i could find, doing meditation and massages all night long.. And you know what ? It finally worked 😂 she did'nt feel the high but when I woke up she told me she had more than 2 hours of sleep. Her dad came by and gave her a ride back home, and she had her pills again. Too soon to say ''happy ending'' because it must be legalized...
I hope one day in France we're gonna be safe to produce or allowed to find some high medical quality, without any arm and no risk of gettin' for years in jail, when we just want to take care of ourselves or just bring a little bit of pleasure, a tiny spark of joy in our life when we can !
I've been doing these basics for a while. And it helps. Really. The last one was hard to implement, but avoiding toxicity and trying to be fun to be with is helping way more than I expected on my anxiety!
I hope it keeps getting better
Thanks for the ground work!
Thank you for this video!
Your voice is very calming.
Love listening to Georgia. Always amazing and practical advice! She helped me deal with my anxiety and make one of the hardest decisions in my life. Thanks Georgia...Andrew
Ive been trying to start figuring out the stuff that makes me feel better, and specially on the contagion effect; this also applies to your online life! Ive been cutting back how much time i spend online and also try to stop following people that don't leave me feeling good, dw Georgia, your channel definitely 'sparks joy' as they say so ill definitely be sticking around, its also important to be aware of that things like gossip and tea channels, it may feel good to listen to them in the short run, possibly because of that 'in group' feeling you get, but at least in my experience those things niggle away at my brain and leave me less happy in the long run
And to add a 6th little thing on, we need to be patient and show ourselves empathy, especially if you also struggle with other mental health issues on top of the anxiety
Thank you so much for these. Your videos are extremely helpful. And I’ve been in a bit of a funk where it’s been hard to stop overthinking, my anxiety has been controlling me for weeks, and it’s been impacting my work as well. So I’ve been on thin ice with the people around me, and with myself with my negative self talk. My self deprecation has been stronger than normal. The person I’ve been romantically seeing has been oddly distant. And I know they have reasons, and they’re not super active on their phone which I understand and respect. They told me they would try to get better about consistent communication but I’ve talked to them 3 times In the last 2 weeks. When I’m in the process of planning a Christmas date for us, and need to know what day and time works. But I just haven’t heard from them which is immensely painful.
I struggle with abandonment issues and I’m the type to chase after someone. I’ve gotten so much better about it than I used to be when it first started. But I know I can be better, I have my bad days where I text too much and I’m still working on myself. But it’s so hard when the anxiety kicks in and says I chased too hard, they don’t want me anymore. They’re avoiding me. It’s gotten to be too strong for me
Great advice beautifully presented :)
I have chronic insomnia and anxiety. Sleep issues are well controlled (mostly) these days. When I don't sleep, my anxiety is wayyyy worse. If you don't have issues sleeping and you do have issues with anxiety, jeez please do yourself a favor and sleep.
Many thanks for this upload! Anxiety is terrible but we can beat it!
Brilliant video!
oooffff yes this is a goood one watch it defo all the way !
👀 Very helpful tips. I am presently working on eating well. Blessings on your day 👍🏻
Very good video. I like it 💕! Good work 👍
Me: anxious
Her: get sleep!🌸
Me: haha (is watching this video at 4 AM)
Thank you for the video! Love watching your content!
I got anxious around professors (probably because I had the feeling I wasn't studying enough - although this was just my perfectionism), and now I often feel anxiety because I am staying with my boyfriend and his family. I'm 26 and I've been staying with them for a few years now. I realise that my lack of space, control of my environment, meals and personal space along with his parents being gloomy and negative, is what is causing this anxiety now. I also think I do have a problem with trying to please people too much, but I'm not sure what to do about this as I've struggled with this my entire life. Anyways, I don't think I can do much about this except what you suggested, but since I am doing all the first 4 as much as I can, the 5th one remains a problem. So as I see it, we need to move away and hopefully, I get better.
i hope you do and feel more at ease.
doubt anyone will see this but i hope someone does,i have terrible anxienty and i found doing 3 30 second planks a day works wonders simply because most people can do it,if you try to increase the time slowly its very rewarding and its good for your whole both plus just very accomplishing
It's funny that people don't want to exercise when they're anxious because all I want when I am is going on a walk with really loud music to escape for a few minutes... When I am really really anxious, if I can, I can go on 3 walks a day just to breathe and have loud angry music to relay on hahaha
I honestly tought it was the case for most people.
By the way, I love how you talk about the brain, it's super interesting!
I agree a walk could be far better than any cardio session.. Because the changes in the environnement helps to clear rhe mind, and the places where you may go can distract you sometimes from your worst thaughts !
Music is also the best help I ever get, when I find myself in times of troubble ❤
@@yhvacant7959 Absolutely! Music can make me have all kind of emotions and adventures! It's a wonderful help and I love it ❤️
Will push back a little on a favorite topic for disagreement, that being food. More and more evidence is mounting that insulin resistance is a primary or strong secondary cause of many diseases. A good book about this is "Why we get sick" by Benjamin Bikman PhD (Insulin Specialist researcher BYU). Is currently studying how Alzheimer's and Dementia could be type 3 Diabetes. He is a large proponent of creating some fasting moments to reset/promote our cells sensitivity. As a base level rule, it is a good idea no matter what food choices or meal frequency within to keep all calories consumed be it liquids or solids under 10 hours. It is also good to mix in a few days a week of much shorter time windows to shock the system. If you are Diabetic, then possibly a couple times a month to also eat Breakfast one day and Dinner the next could also be considered as well. You will also find your body heals much better when the insulin is allowed to clear. Time based calorie consumption does wonders for mood, mental clarity and energy regulation. Dr Jason Fung's books "The Obesity Code" and "The Diabetes Code" are good reads if one is above ideal their ideal healthy weight.
neither are mutually exclusive
I'm very glad Bob came up and actually had me laugh. I didn't even noticed I'd gotten sucked into my own anxiety, while you were discussing how to beat it, until the name "Bob" pulled me out and made me laugh. Lmao
Hey Georgia great channel! When are you and Rena going to do some martial arts videos?
good idea
Blow - I thought the big E word was going to be EAT🤣 Good video Georgia
Hi ! Thank you very much for your tips ! Very usefull !
I just wanna say that I disagree with the ''CARDIO'' thing.. Maybe it works for some people but.. It really doesn't for me. It's painfull and it can drive me close to hell with my asthma and belly-fat, leaving me hot an breathless !!
Exercise is great of course, but stress hormones can make you store a lot of fat and the CARDIO may be too hard to practice when you're already tired if you climb the stairs.. And CARDIO is really stressfull for the body, and even more when you spend hours on it. It may burn some calories but doesn't really helps the metabolism, and ''in the long run'' it may be worse for your hormones levels.
The best way to exercise AND calm down, is to just take a WALK !
With or without music, with our own rythm, without any goal... It helps to clear the mind and the presence of trees can sometimes make your stress go away. They feel us, and they can ''balance'' the energy around you, purifying the air and producing some benefic fragrances for your brain.
And YOGA is great too. Movement and relaxation, it helps to focus on your energy and brings some peace of mind. It's good for mobility, and helps me fall asleep !
I'm a woman but I LOVE musculation and how it improves body shapes and self-esteem, remaining accessible to people with obesity or disabilities. Quick moves. Quick rests. At your own speed, you build your body and more your mussles grow, more you burn fat and may look lean. When you get anxious, you can take any heavy stuff and throw it away, or smash it on the floor, you can give punches and kicks in bags or smooth surfaces, knowing that you're getting stonger doing it. Giving the idea to your brain that you can fight back, remove obstacles or resist to attack !
If you only do CARDIO, you will have a strong heart and you're surely will be able to run away, but is it the only way to deal with daily problems in life ? I KNOW you don't think so.
Thank you for all your videos. I haven't seen a lot of them but I really like your personality and I wish I had a therapist like you. I think I need one but I can't find any.. All those I seen never could trully understand what the hell is fucked up in my wonderfull brain.
let me know how it works out ! good luck
Brain poop. Is that what comes after a brain fart? 😁
🧠💩 Well Done Georgia.
Let me get this straight, now a saber tooth tiger is after me? Can I not hang around with you? Bob.
Poop? Does your brain only do the cleaning out during deep sleep? I have severe obstructive sleep apnea and rarely get deep sleep. Is there anything else that will help clean the poop out?
You can get it also from meditation and flow activities which I will have a video on. Breathing deeply and being calm and happy. So still hope =) And Sorry Bob the videos are now going to be about you a lot =P
Georgia Dow thank so much for your response! I got an Oura ring after seeing it on TWIT, and my deep sleep is usually about 2 minutes., so it concerns me! I’ll take your advise and start meditating again! I do get a good laugh about watching intently a video to help with my anxiety, then hearing my name used with an example! Hah! You go right ahead using it. Thank you so much for doing this, you are helping a lot of people!
Geez, Bob!! 😂 don’t be a Debbie downer !
