On this episode, I will describe another anxiety story of mine. I go back to my experiences being in public places such as: operas, symphonies, movie theatres, and having panic attacks during my time at these places. It is important to know why you are experiencing this panic, which may seem out of the blue, and the parts of your brain that are involved in triggering this panic.

One bad habit can snowball into another. The subconscious loves habits and when we start to adopt new empowering habits into our lives, we will experience resistance to this change. It is important to recognize the current bad habits in you life such as: negative friends, television, junk foods, and to start going against that pull. When we replace a bad habit with a good habit and practice it day-by-day, remarkable changes start to occur.   

Popular thinking is going with the norm. Automatically accepting other peoples opinions and ways of thinking can influence your own thinking and identity. It is important to adopt your own way of thinking and to put yourself in uncomfortable situations so that you can create a new empowering identity. When we start using our rational thinking and begin challenging what others say or think, we are then going against the grain of popular thinking. 

A simple two-week workshop that wasn't so simple in my eyes. I go over my struggles dealing with severe anxiety in a college workshop I decided to take back in summer 2017.

On this episode, I discuss what your symptoms of health anxiety (hypochondria) could mean and how to face them. The subconscious mind/body, meaning the mind and body are both connected, store past traumas and experiences, that haven't been dealt with yet, somewhere in your body. This can cause body zaps, heart palpitations and pains (plus many other sensations). I go over how we can start looking at your many sensations in a different way. 

I discuss handling a panic attack the right way. They are scary and and very overwhelming. If you ride the wave of panic and resist the urge to run away or call up a loved one, then you have already began inner change. If you can start facing your fears head on, then you can start rewiring your brain. It is about proving to your subconscious that the environment you are in is safe and not dangerous, thus activating the rational mind in us rather than the irrational mind.

An anxiety sufferer has no control over their negative thinking. There is no conscious guard in your mind that provides rational facts toward the negative thoughts that pop in. I discuss the ways we can start taking control over our minds, and lesson the amount of negative thinking that we encounter daily. Remember, when we give those negative thoughts emotion, we entertain them.
