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.
Empathy is crucial in fostering understanding and compassion in society. By practicing empathy, we can build stronger connections and support systems, ultimately creating a more harmonious and caring community for all.
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.
Overall, taking care of your mental and emotional well-being involves engaging in mindfulness practices, surrounding yourself with positive people, practicing gratitude, and prioritizing self-care activities. By incorporating these habits into your daily routine, you can improve your overall sense of well-being and lead a more fulfilling life.
I love how Dr. Suzuki talks. Undoubtedly the contents of the talks are great but I feel instantly better just listening to her because of her enthusiasm and energy. Thanks, Dr. Suzuki!

Same! I drink decaf because I love the taste of coffee and the ritual of it. But since I quit, my anxiety has improve by 60%. I have had crippling anxiety since 11.

Remember that it's okay to not be okay sometimes, and reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

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
Take care of yourself by focusing on activities that bring you joy, seeking support from loved ones or professionals when needed, and making your mental health a priority. You deserve to feel happy and healthy.
I was anxious and landed up in this video. By the time I finished watching, especially her gestures and body movements, really helped me calm down. Thank you
It is amazing! We need School lectures like that! Thank you Upwork, a lot of useful tips, sometimes people pay for $400 bucks and do not get the tools mentioned. Thank you Upwork!
Make sure to prioritize your well-being by making time for activities that make you feel good, whether it's exercising, meditating, or simply relaxing. Don't be afraid to reach out to friends, family, or a mental health professional for support, as they can offer guidance and help you through tough times. Remember that it's okay to prioritize yourself and your mental health. You deserve to feel happy and healthy.
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.
yeah 100 years ago all we could worry about was our little town and the few dozen people in it. now we get immediately 24/7 access to the problems of 8,000,000,000 people
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.
Remember to practice self-care by engaging in activities that bring you happiness, reaching out to your support network when you need help, and prioritizing your mental well-being. You deserve to feel emotionally and mentally healthy, so take the time to care for yourself.
Mindfulness helps to reduce stress, increase mental clarity, enhance focus and concentration, regulate emotions, and build resilience. Incorporating mindfulness into daily routines leads to greater satisfaction and fulfillment in life.

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.
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😊
Hey l was there. But l changed (gradually though ) when l realized it's all in my mind. I forced myself to change my thoughts to more beautiful things when l started to be anxious and afraid. Try it. You can. Find something that gives you joy and switch your thoughts anytime you are in that mood
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.
I really wish more people would look up calming herbs and excersise and breathe... the whole world is anxious and everybody wants a convenient fix that doesn't require THEM to do the work for themselves. I am so grateful for people like this.
I have had to be hospitalized for panic attacks that come out of nowhere. Had to take meds! Only Klonipin worked but now working to stay off meds. It is hard because am claustrophobic too but will work on all this. Good luck to you too. 😅
That makes perfect sense.......external focus is good becuase we also connect with others at a far deeper and meaningful level. It may feel a little painful initially....but that feeling does subside.
Everyone is talking about how to help with anxiety but nobody talks about why anxiety is skyrocketing in the society. If we don’t start questioning the system we live in which is causing more and more people to be anxious all the time, we will solve nothing.
This is a general statement that's often applied to every medical issue. There are professionals who've talked about why anxiety exists as a natural function and how it's different from chronic anxiety as well as its causes. There are some exceptionally accessible explanations by psychologists on UA-cam itself. Also this is a myth that anxiety wasn't a serious issue several decades ago. Some of the environmental factors that contribute to chronic anxiety have existed for centuries. Not all of those factors have been a new creation.
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
Does anyone here with anxiety actually feel that deep breathing helps?? I have tried every version of it and have never found any reduction in my anxiety, yet every book and article is like, “take slow, deep breaths.” It doesn’t help in real world application, or even if it temporarily calms me, the anxiety floods back as soon as the breathing exercises are finished…
I find it helps me to calm down but it has to be belly breathing which I learned from a kids video believe it or not. When you breathe in your nose your belly goes out, not your chest and shoulders it has to be done through the stomach for it to activate the parasympathetic nervous system which then calms the body.
I try to do box breathing for a minute or two, two times a day. It seems to help my baseline anxiety. But when I’m having an anxiety spike it’s sometimes too strong for the box breathing to make a huge difference in the moment.
@@nomsaledwaba8931 absolutely... Also I have experienced when I eat clean and soft ( except spices, extra sugars and saturated fats), I feel myself better mentally. Free to try.
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.
1a. If anxious bc OVERWHELMED: lower workload somehow. 1b. If anxious bc INSECURE ABOUT SKILLSET: delegate to someone who has the skills, gain the skills, or inspect if insecurity is valid here. 1c. If anxious bc UNSUPPORTED: get support. If you have no one? Then idk.. 🤷♀️ 2. Dance 10mins to music
When I get really bad anxiety I can feel it in my chest and feels like I’m going to have a heart attack. When I feel that way it makes my anxiety so much worse😞
Sorry for your loss. I recently watched as my friend wasted and died of ALS. Very sad. However, if this can help in any way, I choose to focus on the fact that I am alive. My friend would have wanted me to take advantage of the years she was robbed of. As Albert Camus wrote, life may be absurd and meaningless, so let's enjoy it. Lavish yourself with all the wonderful sensations of having a body alive today. It makes me enjoy the short life I have and try to make the world a happier place for those I share it with. Thus also giving me a purpose, which also helps bring joy. My condolences. I hope this could help even a little.
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.
So true !❤
Agreed! And the breathing and movement creates that space to help cultivate that empathy.
Sounds like you have no idea what anxiety is.
@@schmonsy can't you just be glad empathy works for other people? I'm sorry it doesn't work for you. It's almost like you lack empathy...
Empathy is crucial in fostering understanding and compassion in society. By practicing empathy, we can build stronger connections and support systems, ultimately creating a more harmonious and caring community for all.
1. Deeep breathe
2. Move your body with positive affirmations
3. Empathy ❤

Hugs and deep breaths to you, Wendy!
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.
That is, if you are allowed to get up from your desk. Chances are you will be fired.

Thank you!
Helpful video, thank you.

"move, you will feel better" **** off. Moving 8 hours every day outside +physically active and I'm still ******* stressed for no good reason
She is so lovely 🥰
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.
You are amazing 😊
Breathe and move around🎉❤
1a. If anxious bc OVERWHELMED: lower workload somehow.
1b. If anxious bc INSECURE ABOUT SKILLSET: delegate to someone who has the skills, gain the skills, or inspect if insecurity is valid here.
1c. If anxious bc UNSUPPORTED: get support. If you have no one? Then idk.. 🤷♀️
2. Dance 10mins to music
Thank you!!!! I'm gonna try this.
Love wendy suzuki

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOD BLESS
When I get really bad anxiety I can feel it in my chest and feels like I’m going to have a heart attack. When I feel that way it makes my anxiety so much worse😞
Focusing on certain points reduces my anxiety
I had another close relative die from breast cancer recently. I'm honestly having such an existential crisis its making my stomach cramp.
Sorry for your loss.
I recently watched as my friend wasted and died of ALS. Very sad. However, if this can help in any way,
I choose to focus on the fact that I am alive. My friend would have wanted me to take advantage of the years she was robbed of. As Albert Camus wrote, life may be absurd and meaningless, so let's enjoy it.
Lavish yourself with all the wonderful sensations of having a body alive today.
It makes me enjoy the short life I have and try to make the world a happier place for those I share it with. Thus also giving me a purpose, which also helps bring joy.
My condolences. I hope this could help even a little.
Society in terms of work is not made for people but for profit.
We have made a society that triggers anxiety
Thank you ❤
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. ♥
Thank you !
Thank you for sharing this info with us its very useful
beautiful
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.
its harder to cope when it’s not a email but the sight of your bed or the thought of going to sleep
Watching this video is making me anxious about how I'm going to fail to calm my anxiety
Thank you ❤
Thanks Mam 🙏❤
Summary: breathe, mobility (move your body - 10 minutes of walking or try to be creative) - connect with your body,
