Here is a lesson I learned one week ago brother. Most habitual anxiety comes from fast mouth breathing. Seriously. This has helped me immensely. Shut your mouth. Inhale through your nose. SLOWLY. About six second controlled inhale, six second controlled exhale, five breaths a minute for 10 minutes. And set a timer and repeat every night as you lay down to sleep. And tape your lips closed before you go to bed. Train yourself to breathe through you nose. Like we were designed to do. Most of your anxiety will vanish as you activate your parasympathetic nervous system which calms and relaxes you. Breathe hard and fast to activate your sympathetic nervous system which is for fight or flight. Hard and fast, still through your nose, depletes CO2 raising the ph of your blood, and that makes hemoglobin grip tight to oxygen. Breathing slow and holding your breath lowers ph resulting in greater release of oxygen from hemoglobin. That desperate need to breathe is not from lack of oxygen but a buildup of CO2, and that can be trained so you handle it longer. A Russian doctor back during WWII figured out that the most effective treatment for an asthma attack is to breathe slower and softer through the nose, asthma is literally a panic attack. That doc won great acclaim in the USSR. And very few Americans know about him.

Breathe slowly through your nose, exhale twice as long as inhale, and activate parasympathetic nervous system and calm down. Which changes how you stand and walk and think.

We need more role models like Jason to emphasise the importance of men expressing our emotions. Especially during times of hardship. Crying isn’t giving up, it’s your way of processing the pain. God bless this man. Edit: fuck the arguing in the replies. The real focus is the mentor here. Regardless of whatever was actually said, the way this mentor interacted with this young man will turn him into a goddamn superhero, full of love and respect for others. Whether it’s about anxiety or anger or depression, we need more men like Jason who will explain to young men the importance of expressing themselves healthily so as to process the emotion. That’s the key issue here. And if you can’t recognise that, then I hope you figure it out someday

@@IsraelCountryCube I totally agree. I even agree on that there indeed is a bit of distraction between genders based on natural attraction, but that is something that can be regulated and has to be regulated in society anyways. So I don't think it HAS to be that way. Often natural attraction doesn't have as strong of an impact on smaller children either and the only differences are generally based on the society in which you live in. I would argue that women should be more encouraged to be tougher or masculine and even men should be more encouraged to be more feminine and open with emotions. I don't think those things should subtract from what it means to be a "Man" or being a "Woman" either. And it can be a bit unhealthy when a Man feels like he should never feel or display emotions while a Woman might depend too much on her emotions and the sympathy of others. These are more often than not subconscious roles that we adapt to but don't necessarily have to hold onto. I mean, if gender roles of only Man or Woman were entirely biological from birth or were not meant to be flexible then Gays, Bisexuals, Intersex and Transexuals would not exist, but they have existed all throughout time and history. I'm not advocating one way or the other to live your life by the way, just discussing what I believe I am observing as a reality.

From your comment, I can tell you are skilled enough with the English language to make something worth reading. Try not to see your emotional trauma as a hindrance. What you have is not a shortcoming, but an array of ammunition. All the pain, agony, vexation and suffering is real and it belongs only to you. Use all of it to create.

Ironically, when any kid is shamed for crying when things get too hard, they get more and more oversensitive and less resilient as they grow up because they’re desperate for that release and self-acceptance. I’m 20 and I’m just now starting to go through the emotional process I should have been allowed to go through when I was this kid’s age 🤷🏻‍♀️

Nobody's perfect. We must all carry one another's burden and we'll be fine. Wish you the best. God bless.

This is to all father out there who are doing everything possible to teach their boys it’s ok to cry and making them stronger with love! Keep going always spend even 5 minutes a day with your son whether is talking or teaching him something. You are doing just fine, results won’t happen overnight but you’ll be glad in the future.

This man is such a good teacher, He not only teaches the child about emotion and pushing thorugh it, but also the metaphorical weight of him being a small child until he hits 16 cause hes going to be alot heavier both physically and emotionally/mentally to take care of.

Some of my best memories as a child was when an adult talked to me one on one and explained a lesson in life. Helping us make sense of all of it is the greatest expression of love.

No matter how many dialogues he gives, I love how he accepts reality and decides to fight rather than protesting them.

I can relate to the boy. Life punched me in the face every day but I still kept going. Why? Because my parents are amazing people. I came to the US as a kid without knowing any English. I lost my friends and belongings and had to start over. I had to learn a new language from the ground up. Then I had to be the first in the family to graduate from high school. I did it. Then as I was trying to be the first to graduate from College I got heart failure. I had to stop my College plans and go to the hospital for treatment. I went through an artificial heart implant and a heart transplant. If it wasn't for my family I wouldn't have survived these major surgeries. Today I'm going back to school and finishing up College, hopefully, without complications. Always love your family because they're the ones that will always carry you when you're down and show you how to carry yourself and your kids later in life.
