I am learning this the hard way. My job managers volunteered to help another office meet their goals by taking on their backlog and current claim interviews by adding them to us workers. They still demand we meet all the deadlines. To look good they want us to take the last minute issues of clients that walk in without appointments. The only thing the top person looks at is the numbers. We are rushed during interviews so we can take as many as possible. Interviews are not cookie cutter type. It seems so rude to rush clients no matter what their dilemma. To get the high numbers of claims means less time to process them and follow up with details. All the stressing to do a super job and meet ridiculous deadlines created by the job to make them look like the super office. When you get sick they just want to know when you will return to work. Yes all workers there have spoken up with ideas to do things better but none applied. At my age hard to just let go and get another job. Have to find a way to pace myself. Will try some of the suggestions in this interview. My health first.

Going off coffee is the last step for me, because it's not just the coffee, it's also the sugar AND the flavored creamer I add. I used to jokingly say, "Hi, my name is Tiffany and I'm a flavored-creamer junkie." To be honest, now, it's not such a joke, and I just wanna eliminate it. BUT one thing at a time: I'm 51 and have recently started riding a bicycle again (haven't ridden a bike since I started driving at age 16, lol!), AND I gave up weed three weeks ago, after DECADES of use (been using weed longer than ☝️ that, even). :-) So, yeah, I'm conquering my demons, one vice at a time. Exercise (weight training, beyond just bicycling), stuff (that hoarding demon, tho!), sugar :-)

N.K.B. I’ve been adding fruits but a lot of them I hate lol I use to eat a pint of ice cream a day then I slowed that up I eat it once every two weeks or so but it’s almost any sugar now just tough I guess.

After I watched this video a month ago, it inspired me and I started thinking deeply about why do I eat so much sugar (I've been binge eating sugar since I can remember). I have tried in the past multiple times to give up sugar, but with no results. I was starting to feel that sugar was controlling me, but the reality was different. I came up with the conclusion that I was using it as a coping mechanism for stress, boredom and also loneliness. Sugar actually helped me to feel better in moments when I wasn't feeling good. So I decided that next time I want to eat sugar, I will ask myself, "What do I feel like I actually need right now?" Is it connection? Is it relaxation? And after I decide which one, I will go meet that need directly. I would go on a walk or call a friend for example. In the past, instead of taking the "hard road" to resolve those problems or needs, I was choosing the easier part, and that was eating sugar. This mentality changed me a lot. It's been exactly one month since I've been sugar free and not only have I lost 2 kg (without any exercise), but I feel more in control of my life and I feel no need whatsoever to get back to it. If there is anybody who identifies with this, please give this a try. Ask "What unmet need am I meeting through sugar in my life?". It is definitely worth it. This video was the one that urged me to get back in control of my diet. I thank Sarah and Tom deeply for it. If it hadn't been for this video, I would never have addressed this issue in the way that I did. Lots of love

Our emotions are action signals. Many times we try to mask our emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger, and boredom, with external tools like sugar, smoking, drugs, drinking, and TV. When you begin to befriend your emotions you can deal with them in more control which can put you in a better state to make decisions and actions that will serve you and not disempower you.

I am pretty good at challenging the story, but I am still working on making sure my needs are met.

Things like not wanting to take actions that I need to take, my room being messier than it ever has been before, my head being my own worst enemy. Feeling frozen from moving forward. I didn’t realize that this was anxiety. I used to meditate regularly and all last year I walked just about every day and I was fine. I was starting to worry about what I was feeling and what was happening in my head and in my body. This interview helped me realize that all I need to do is start meditating every morning and walking every day, like I used to. Thank you so very much for this!!!

Instead, you should watch the video, *at least* part of it if not most of it, then do the thumbs up. That if you do it too quickly the system will not count your 'like' because you did it too fast and it knows you couldn't have watched it yet.

Yeah. No

YES! I get anxious and I've had 3 panic attacks in my life. When I felt them, after the first of course, I went to a quiet place and sat still for 20 minutes and then went back to work. I use anxiety as a tool, the rush of adrenaline gets used to power through something and celebrate small wins.

I recently went on a Vipassana meditation retreat where the same principles of bringing back the awarenesses and not reacting to any physical sensation were taught. I can now simply observe my emotions and feel them deeply without lashing out or reacting in negative ways. If the problem is universal, the solution has to be universal: just our breath. Thank you Tom for the gift of such an amazing content!! Much love and success.

Love this video! One thing that has greatly helped me...actually from Emily Fletcher's interview on your channel, I believe, is to fall out of love with the outcome. So many times for me, the anxious thought stems from performance expectations, judgement or evaluation. Remembering to enjoy the journey and leave the outcome as a byproduct, my anxiety melts!

What was spoken in the last section "Sit through the pain" is very much alike to how I have combatted my anxiety over the years, and I see it as expanding my comfort zone. I feel anxiety becomes more present the smaller my comfort zone is, and it is triggered by the fear of the unknown outside of it. Committing to expanding my comfort zone has been the greatest thing I could do for this. The more it expands, the more comfortable you can become in more of the world nad yourself. "Sitting with the pain" until it is no longer painful. Thankyou for this conversation, I enjoyed it very much.

This was very relatable. From the meditation to diet to 'metaphors that mean so much', everything made so much sense. Thank you, seriously.

I have learned my anxiety is related to my diet big time. And that walking has always helped as well. Walking looking for beauty is another trick. Trying to meditate is just as good as being good at it for you.

This video answered many questions for me. Tom, love your show. I agree selling my auto enhanced my health.

Tom, I love how you and Lisa talk and gesture guests so similarly as you interview people. Sarah Wilson is real and beautiful. She is also wise and so easy to read and hear. Thank you for this show. XOXOXOX

This is incredible. Thank you so much for being so relatable and I understand all of the things that you’ve gone through with your illness and I walk all the time to. Thank you so very much and I am so excited to read your book.

The best thing I felt that helped me when I was anxious was to increase my breathing when I feel panicked and overwhelmed. I never realized before how much I held my breath and took in short breaths when I was anxious until I had to start recognizing it.

I quit sugar for a month. All my allergies and skin sensitivity went away. My skin was always red patchy and irritated and I had breakouts. all that went away and my skin was so smooth and even. I could put all my skin products on with no reaction. I decided to add small amounts of sugar back but big mistake. Now I'm more addicted and my skin has gotten worse. I have painful acne that leave scars. So I'm trying to break it again. I'm constantly having sugar cravings. I can't believe all my skin issues and allergies are because of sugar and gluten. Once you break the withdrawal after like two weeks you are good. You feel sick and right after you feel so much better. Sugar makes me feel tired and sluggish. I had so much more energy. I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the cravings.

Hi! I was in the same exact situation as you for years. I have tried in the past multiple times to give up sugar, but with no results. I was starting to feel that sugar was controlling me. But I came up with the conclusion that I was using it as a coping mechanism for stress, boredom and also loneliness. Sugar actually helped me to feel better in moments when I wasn't feeling good. So I decided that next time I want to eat sugar, I will ask myself, "What do I feel like I actually need right now?" Is it connection? Is it relaxation? And after I decide which one, I will go meet that need directly. I would go on a walk or call a friend for example. In the past, instead of taking the "hard road" to resolve those problems or needs, I was choosing the easier part, and that was eating sugar. This mentality changed me a lot. It's been exactly one month since I've been sugar free and it feels great. Ask "What unmet need am I meeting through sugar in my life?". Trust me, after you answer this and you go for what YOU ACTUALLY WANT, and you get it, afterwards you will not feel the need to go to sugar. This worked miracles for me. I hope this helps you and best of luck !!!

For me, I noticed that watching many talks/podcasts about the dangers of sugar cut my addiction, also for some reason sparkling water cuts my sugar cravings

I love that you tell us that we can thrive with anxiety ❤ so often we are told we just need to survive it.

Once again such valuable interviews and guests. Well done !

Her comments on being a crap meditator truly made me breathe a giant sigh of relief. I, too, am a crap meditator, and have stopped meditating regularly as of late because I figured "it wasn't working for me." But this has given me such a desire to get back into it, even if it doesn't "work" and I don't get better at it. I can't describe how amazing that feels.

If you liked this video, you may also want to know that For overall health and preventative care, it's beneficial for everyone to keep added sugar intake under the World Health Organization's (WHO) recommendation of 25 grams per day added sugar. This is the same as 6 teaspoons per day!

I am a toucher so that one really resonated with me. I also realized I have a bit of anxiety which causes me to lash out if I can't control the situation but most situations are %100 controllable. I tend to panic like she said. Having a routine really helps. Contingency plans help. I do believe I will be adding her book to my list of must reads.

Having had debilitating anxiety at one point in my life and being trained in how to manage anxiety and neurobiology as a social worker, it’s been very helpful to know and understand firstly that anxiety is normal and serves a function but can become triggered in situations where it is not required. Secondly it produces hormones that can take days to dissipate so there’s no quick fix but a process, and thirdly there are some simple behaviours you can engage in wherever you are to help this process to occur sooner than later. Lastly, therapy to help thoughts and behaviour change and developing awareness of triggers or early signs of anxiety are great strategies to prevent anxiety re-emerging. I have used all these successfully.

I thought she was 30 years old. No! She's 46! I'm sooooo listening to her advice!

I love her advice about reading a book, because I never finish one, I listening my mind when I start reading. I will discipline myself. Thank you Tom and your guess 🙏🏽

What a fabulous episode and so interesting everything she had to say. I hate to say I came in with preconceived notions, beautiful, smart woman, yes... but then learning she didn’t own a purse while working and cosmo and rides her bike or walks everywhere. I just love this. I love hows she’s just living her authentic self and not seeing diagnosed disorders as problems, but potential for greatness.

I completely agree with her. Tom has THE MOST IMPACTFUL AND RELEVANT INTERVIEWS! THANKS

Everything about Sarah's story resonated!

Re-wiring the brain, fight or flight...many wonderful remedies in this chat. Well done! “Wherever you are STOP, it’s a wonderful opportunity to practice resilience” LOVE LOVE LOVE~~~

Beautiful….the simple truth. The power is that it is accessible to ALL, thanks Tom and Sarah ❤️

I just loved listening to Sarah Wilson. She really is my role model...what an inspiration

I have recently found that foods actually give me that anxious feeling of butterflies in my stomach doing an elimination diet I carried out myself. Sugary dairy and breads eaten alone after fasting and by themselves will immediately give me feelings of anxiety. It is like the food goes for my gut to my brain in less than 20 minutes. Working on gut health now to help my brain!

I havent had sugar for 7 years. #proudofit

Loved her newspaper column with her 'experiments' for a better life; I only read the weekend paper so I could get to her column! Thank you, Sarah, some of the advice and results stuck with me!

I really love the way it is structured! Great interview!

Mel Robbins was the guest that also mentioned turning anxiety into excitement with her 54321 Rule. Her content is great too.

Katherine DeSantis Simon sinek kind of says the same..giving example of athletes before a big game.

Main topics: 1) More about anxiety. 2) Do meditation . make Walking habit. 3) Avoid Sugar completely. Avoid Package foods. Cook your own foods. 4) Human touch .

So weird I was just watching her video on quitting sugar and now she's on impact theory the next day :D

She is genuine and authentic.So practical human being.

Hi Tom, I love what you and your team and wife have created. You guys have influenced me TREMENDOUSLY and have changed the way I perceive life. I see there are a lot of videos on anxiety, depression, and stress etc. but I haven't seen any (although there may be, i might just have not seen it) on how to control anger and fix an attitude problem. My anger and attitude has cause so much arguments and problems with so many relationships in my life. It's so hard to re-wire my brain because it's such second nature to me. Is there anyone (anybody) or you can recommend that specializes in this area? LOVE AND RESPECT!

Get your liver checked by a TCM practitioner. The Liver processes anger. There is an imbalance in your chi.

My son has your anger problem and one of my nieces. They can’t control their anger and cause havoc in the family. They find therapist that yes yes them. At least you are aware - I suggest listening to Jordan Peterson - he has a program you can do on line. Start from there and my son (sorry if it’s unpopular) calms down when he goes to church.

this is so precious. I have anxiety depression for years, but this year I can't stand it anymore, I finally going to see psychiatrist starting 2moro (13.11.2019)

Brave? She makes a living by constantly talking about herself.

What an amazing interview🙌🙌👏👏👏 Tom the entire time:😃😃

This was my favorite episode in a long time! Related to too much of what she was talking about. Currently going through some of that now. I'm 34 which is close to when her journey begun I believe.

Thank you for all the helpful info on how to deal with anxiety. I'm about to quit sugar! Definitely buying Sarah's cooking book!

I got a lot out of this interview. Thank you!

Wonderful episode!! Love her authenticity and her excellent way of speaking. Confirming things I've suspected for years! I've had much better success with a healthy diet than with any pill !!

Any advice on a healthy diet?

@Jamyn1996

Jay Troche the best advice I could offer is to start eating real food. Food that came out of the ground or walks on the ground, or that swims. Getting away from processed foods is a great way to start a journey towards a healthy diet. You can venture into figuring out which macros work best for you and all that down the line. Don’t make it too complicated when you first start out or it could seem a bit overwhelming.

23:41 - 24:11 - "Just trust it's going to lead Somewhere!" wow love it

I totally agree with the hiking advice!. I always feel renewed after finishing a hike. The feeling of stillness & gratefulness from being a part of something as grand as nature is indescribable.❤️

I find that anxiety seems to be right on the edge, the peripheral of my mind, and it actually "knocks" on the door when I catch myself (acknowledge) that I'm having a good time - smiling, laughing - and then I settle myself down, and sort of take a neutral state just to avoid tipping over into panic. So, I found it very illuminating that excitement (a positive feeling) is the same brain-work as anxiety. Meditation has helped a lot, and I've decided that being in a peaceful, neutral state is the best place to be. I often question my perception of things if I'm too excited or too negative. Am I being skeptical enough of this experience or situation to have such a profound regard or emotional response? Peace seems best for awareness and control, though sometimes lackluster. Still working on finding a balance :)
