In this episode of Off the Cuff with Danny LoPriore, the guest is none other than yours truly, in the flesh. Join me as I take a moment to talk about my mental health and thank all of you, my fans, followers, friends, supporters, who have made such a positive impact on my life. 

 

“I have been more active. And by active I mean not as much as exercising. Yes, I have been doing that. Eating healthier. I have been eating healthier for my wedding that’s coming up. So, I am trying to do that. But the thing is being creatively active and what I mean by that is that I have been in this kind of whirlwind of creating.” Danny (02:02)

 

I have discovered that one of the best strategies to tackle anxiety and panic attacks is to simply keep yourself busy and your mind occupied. For me, constantly creating something unique that can benefit others has helped me tremendously over the years and I believe it can help others as well who are suffering from these conditions.

 

“My creative juices flowing has kept me from thinking about my anxiety and panic, if that makes any sense. It’s kind of gotten me into a point where I almost can’t worry about it as much as I used to. I think one of the biggest contributors to anxiety and panic is having a stagnant mind.” Danny (02:45)

 

You will see a very personal side of me in this episode. I talk a lot about my private life and touch on a variety of topics. This includes my struggles with unhealthy eating, my blood test results, getting married in a few months, creating new content and much more. I conclude the episode with a message of hope and positivity.

 

“Take those small moments, even if they are short, and champion those moments. Don’t champion the bad moments. Champion the moments that are good. Keep those at the forefront of your mind. Keep those at the forefront of your spirituality. Keep those at the forefront of your regiment. Keep these things close to you. Because those small victories, they add up.” Danny – (20:23)
