Today I talk about what I’ve learnt from the happiest group of people in the world - Buddhist monks. I talk about their views on purpose and serving other people as well as how they deal with problems by sitting with them rather than trying to rationalise them. These concepts have helped my life and maybe they can help yours. We finish with a meditation activity that I do myself regularly

We all make mistakes. Last night I tried to add a new opening to my live event without enough practice and it wasn’t watertight enough for the presentation. I began and couldn’t remember exactly what I wanted to say and I started to feel anxious. I talk through how I handled that and how I was able to ‘ride it out’ and then turn it around really quickly and then continue on to perform the best presentation I’ve ever done. This is a real life example of how I cope with serious anxiety. We finish with a humming activity which is super calming for anxiety

Today I’m excited because we have our 5th live event in the Perth CBD tonight where we have a special guest speaking for the first time. We talk about that, I go through some of my favourite books on anxiety and why I liked them. I talk about the Buddha and his story of living as a prince to living in the slums to finally finding peace within himself. We finish with a neck stretching activity that you can do at work to calm yourself down

What is the purpose of life? Is the fact that we’ve gone so far away from our true purpose the reason we have a mental health crisis that is gripping the planet? I talk about how babies are scared of spiders before they’re born and how we can use how we have evolved to be happy. We finish with an activity that you can do to better self-regulate your emotions

Today I talk about why we all subconsciously feel like we need to succeed more than we used to. Our obsession as a society with celebrity and fame and fortune is eating away at our self worth. I talk about where anxiety starts and show you that it’s not a conscious process. We finish with the find the fibre breathing activity

Today I discuss how it’s hard wired in us as human beings to have problems so we need to stop trying to solve them all and find a way to be happy amongst the chaos that is life. When we solve one problem in our lives we are experts at immediately finding another one. I talk us through the whole mind/ body concept of anxiety and then we finish with my favourite at home activity which is the body scan

Today, I throw my opinion out there on why we aren’t happy and why our mental health is deteriorating. I look at micro v macro happiness and how this has evolved throughout history. We dig into what I call propagation and how people only showing the highlights of their life is hurting society. We finish with a face scan which is a fantastic activity for getting us out of our heads when we’re anxious

Today is the last day of ‘my story’ as we go through the years from 2010, all the way through when my life spiralled out of control between 2013 and 2018, and finish with the reason for starting this project. I talk about the years of research, and 150+ books, that went into Mr Anxiety and talk about the line from psychiatrist Dr Bessel Van Der Kolk’s book ‘The Body Keeps The Score’ which changed everything for me. We finish with the humming activity today

Today we dig deeper into my story and how far I’ve come since my days of having chronic anxiety. We go back to 2010 and look at the scariest moment of my life; the day I decided to take twice the prescribed amount of my anti-anxiety medication. We finish the podcast with a breathing activity that you can use throughout the day to calm yourself down

Today we go through the ‘Yes … Actually No’ period of my life where I got super excited about finding out that I had anxiety. Finally I had the answer to what was causing me to feel so average for so long but this excitement quickly turned to disappointment as I tried medication after medication and nothing seemed to fix it. We finish the podcast with one of my favourite activities - humming.
