When a neuroscientist says more empathy is what society needs most today, you listen... Everyone is too self focused; and of course, when you only think about your problems, they become huge and anxiety inducing. Just be kinder, truly listen, give your mom a hand. Just look a little beyond yourself. Breathing and exercise do wonders, but it's empathy that really reframes your mind.

The "move your body" is so, so true. If you think about it, what else can you do when you heart suddenly starts beating super fast? Make it beat faster. Do push-ups, go running, anything to move your body. When I get caught off guard, that's what's been working for me

I love this woman! Her voice and speaking presence. Super cool human

I love this woman. I watched her TED talk years ago about physical movement and it’s a great one.

the less i know about what is happening around the world - the calmer i feel. Meaning that knowing everything, immediately, constantly is not good for your health.

I agree….That’s why I mostly stopped following the news about a year ago. I get daily email summaries of the news from the AP and the New York Times, but I almost always just glance at the headline of the emails and don’t open them. If I do open them, I only glance at the headlines inside. I also found a way to disable news stories showing up automatically on my Google search page. It’s a huge change from when I used to be way too consumed and affected by all the suffering and negativity in the world. I’m very sensitive and empathetic, and it was causing me tremendous stress, anxiety and sadness to be aware of every horrible thing happening all over the world, in excruciating detail, the moment it happened. We’re not meant to live like that!! Not to mention, I could have been spending that time doing something more productive for my own life. The media knows negative stories draw more attention, so that’s what they flood us with. It seems like the world is about to end every day for a million different reasons…but it’s been like that for as long as I can remember. There is value in being aware enough of societal issues to be an educated voter and to contribute however you can to causes that are important to you. Beyond that, I think it’s important, especially for sensitive people like me, to realize there is absolutely NOTHING most of us can do about the things we read about in the news, and to trust that there are people out there who CAN do something and are doing it.

This is true! The moment I get up and stretch and move away from my desk I feel better. It also helps release tension in my muscles.

When I have panic attacks, i immediately stand up, put my phone on the bed, and start walking around the house nonstop for hours. It works dreams. My anxiety is strong so I have to walk for hours on end but even standing helps. Best thing you can do. Walk, and get outside or look outside.

Thank you

This was very briefly mentioned at the start of the video but feeling stressed is not clinical Anxiety. The distinction was then buried in some already fairly well known techniques for reducing stress levels. I have professionally diagnosed Clinical Depression and Anxiety (GAD, Social). I also get stressed about every day things like running late for appointments, having to make an awkward phone call, etc.. These are two very different things. My Anxiety ( before treatment) was a persistent feeling of 'something' being wrong, I'd made a mistake, being judged, I'm not good enough..... . These thoughts were there from as far back as I can remember and I needed more than just breathing or moving to reduce the symptoms. I don't work in the medical field, but there seems to have been an over-correction to the supposed over prescription of antidepressants. This could be putting some people at risk of not seeking professional help for clinical depression and/or anxiety.

Thank you for this! :)

What about crippling anxiety, and genuine fear that keeps you up all night, and completely robs you of your much needed sleep?

@rocky_wang

Жыл бұрын

How "genuine" is your fear? If that's because of something realistic like how to pay the bills for this month, it's better to solve the problem. If the fear is not a realistic one even though you feel it genuinely, like the ET will invade the earth, you may need therapy. I went through both types of fear and that was my opinion😊

This is more than anxiety. Please see a therapist because you deserve to understand what's really at your core of these feelings. Understand that our mental, physical, emotional, and sexual health are ALL connected. It's always our brains, and then it's our immune system. A couple of great books to read or listen to: "The Body Keeps The Score" By. Dr. Bessel Van Der Kolk. " No Bad Parts" By. Dr. Richard C. Schwartz.

yep, identify something you can control about the situation, anything at all, and put your focus on that. dwelling on what's out of your control doesn't work, has never worked, and is completely ineffective and will ironically will make the situation even worse.

Well stated...

The wrong thinkings everyone often meet. First: anxiety is bad, reality, anxiety help people stay safe. Second: don't have anxiety in body. Anxiety both good and bad. We should balance to it is help our. How to way help calm anxiety: breathing exercise, move (15 minute is good). When you do it you can control it, empathy with orther people, happy life. I will practice everyday.

Awesome information!

Breathe and move around🎉❤

Rather than empathy, I prefer compassion. I found that as an empath, others’ feelings became my own and as someone who already struggles with anxiety, that wasn’t helping. If someone struggles to feel empathy though, empathy all the way. But for those of us that need to keep a layer of distance to help us help others, then compassion

Breathing works to calm down and going out into a green space can also help reduce anxiety. At least walk away from your desk for a while. ♥

Watching this as I’m anxious working. 😂

Meditation is playing a huge role in lowering my anxiety... there's a millenia worth of knowledge about meditation and mental health in the east.

This is true. I always do walking when I have got an issue. It supremely helps to melt down high rate anxiety in your mind.

Focusing on certain points reduces my anxiety

Summary: breathe, mobility (move your body - 10 minutes of walking or try to be creative) - connect with your body,
