    I'd have to say I'm mostly numb. On the positive side, it gets a little bit better sometimes. I'm learning how to laugh again. I'm not giving up, and encourage people not to give up either. We all have value. I'm going to apply the ideas in this video.

      You are a special person, you have value and you are important. Learning and applying positivity is helping me tremendously and it’s really staved off my depressive episodes for months and months now since I started this. I’m 55 and only really started to do this and have suffered with depression for most of my life. I am far from there yet I guess it will take the rest of my life. But seek to learn what it means to love yourself and learn to seek to do good, forget grudges and i forgiveness, hatred and negativity. They will eat you alive and negativity which we seem to practice by default, keeps us locked into a negative cycle. Avoid saying things like, ‘I am useless at this or I am worthless’ change what you say and replace the negative phrases with realistic BUT kind phrases. You will find even when your negativity is screaming at you to dwell and go into say, self pity, the last thing you will want to do is say something positive. But give it a go, don’t think it’s all jumbo try with very small goals and audibly speak to yourself and tell yourself that you are going to do x, y, z and you want good to come out of it, for someone else, for yourself and just say it… do t analyse it don’t strive to make it come true, just say it the once and just give it over … remember, try to be kind to others, don’t feed your ego, keep your kind acts secret if you can and don’t do anything out of vanity…. JUST BE … BLESSINGS PEACE and HAPPINESS to you

    • @freevirtualhypnosis
      @freevirtualhypnosis 3 роки тому +13

      The solution lies in finding the reasons why you go back to bad patterns and in writing down the opposite, like what you would do, think, feel or say differently before repeating bad decisions. Then practice, not all the time, just in one small situation at a time. Soon it'll become your constant reality and you won't have to "try."

      When you go to one therapist after another and leave thinking they weren't helpful, it's because you go in there already picturing in your mind that they will not help you. Instead, you need to convince yourself that each of them is going to make you a better person. The secret lies in writing down notes, that's how to be better, and then practice each step. Because if you leave without notes, you will not have learned anything. Our conscious mind refuses to change and will do whatever it takes to remain the same. You can create mindfulness to change by writing down notes and making a conscious effort to practice the new ways.

    My therapist has been working on mindfulness with me but I really struggle bc I overthink things. I felt crazy bc until I watched this…I couldn’t tell when I am mindful, overly focused on the present, not mindful enough, etc.
    This video is AMAZING!!!! I finally understand mindfulness. Best parts:
    1) example of mindfulness experience at the beginning
    2) creating joy in the present moment
    3) “it’s just being aware”
    4) acceptance- but actually a good definition
    5) “the goal is not to make you feel better, it’s to get better at feeling….it’s not relaxation” WOW!!!!!
    6) “the purpose of this activity is NOT to change your breathing” as a chronically ill person, i get distressed focusing on my body because I know I should be breathing differently and that keeps me from being present
    Caveat- ADHDers please don’t feel bad if you need some level of distraction. Try white noise.

    Hello everyone. I enjoy this channel and God bless this lady that puts all this good information up and out there for us.
    I want to suggest what helps me greatly whenever I get a negative thought.
    Whether it's just a negative thought or anxious thought this is what I do and it helps me greatly more than anything that I have tried.
    And here it is:
    Whenever I get a very negative thought or an anxious thought or a thought that is just not helpful to going forward- you know those thoughts, where you're always looking back on the negative things that have occurred- well here's what I started doing and it helps so much!
    I instantly think of something to PRAY to God for. Just one thing, pray to God for just one thing, or up to three things, EVERY TIME you get a negative thought. THIS HELPS SO MUCH!
    And while my mind is thinking of who or what to pray for I realize simultaneously, that I am doing more good by transforming the negative into an action of positive that will have a helpful and eternal effect on me and the things I'm praying for.
    While I think of what to pray my mind is alleviated completely of the negative thought and usually never comes back when I'm done with the prayer.
    You can do this silently while standing or sitting or laying in bed at night nobody knows you're doing it and it works!
    At least for me it has proven to be the most effectual help to completely alleviate the negativity and anxiety.
    I also feel that my inner spirit is lifted, (to love and be gracious toward others afterwards) AND I have a much * clearer, "more sound mind" to share that love.
    I hope this helps at least one other person as it has helped me.
    God bless you all.

    We just moved to a new house and I could not sleep because my anxiety came back. I did not feel safe even though I know the house is very secure (locks and everything) . We also have a dog outside. I kept having thoughts about how someone could break in and I kept buying those thoughts. Yesterday, I searched youtube for "anxiety over safety" and that's how I found your videos. I watched them and did the mental exercises. Guess what, I had a good sleep last night!

    12:15 Thanks so much for this part in which you explain the purpose of mindfulness. I have been suggested so many times to do it, and I have tried, and I definitely always felt worse because I would notice my anxiety etc. I am definitely the sort to avoid my emotions and bottle them, and no one ever explained to me that the point is to experience your emotions and sensations to get better at coping with them. I thought the activities were supposed to make me feel calm and so I never really got into mindfulness, but I would be willing to try again now that I actually understand the purpose.

    These skills have helped me so much and I want to thank you! I had a huge downward spiral of mental health 5 months ago and it sent my body into a whole new level of physical discomfort and emotional numbness which targeted my passions and interests that I have learned to start feeling and working with. The progress has been slow and even now I’m still a little stuck on how to feel the sensations or emotions without letting them overcome me. Sometimes it seems like my mind thinks focusing on my breath or other things to relax is a way of me “denying” those sensations. But I am more than happy to see how much I’ve improved and even with my current struggles I know better how to feel these things with kindness and understanding. ❤️

    I'm so glad to be depression and prescription drug free, 20 years after I almost didn't make it past a severe depressive episode. At the time, about to complete school, I was horrified then relieved at my diagnosis. Dismayed because of stigma and fear, then glad. It finally explained the preceding ten years: which the psychiatrist quickly and accurately described: long-term, low-grade depression. After a few years of Prozac, to get out of the black hole, I rebounded and was delighted to discover CBT to help manage my emotions. "Boundaries" by McCloud and Townsend was eye-opening as well. Most recently I've added to my mental health toolbox with daily meditation with Headspace and learning about attachment styles with Thais Gibson and healing my insecure (dismissive avoidant) style in her school. The final key has been learning about and truly embracing my unique introverted personality style. The gift of faith undergirds it all, and I thank God for that, every day. Blessings to everyone on this channel and in this thread. 💕

      But isn't it interesting that when you are focusing on walking through plants, that you are not paying attention to where your hands are? Take right now for instance, without thinking about it, which foot is more forward than the other? We are only 2% Mindful and 98% floating around in our creative imagination. And this is good. It is that subconscious not-mindfulness that helps us to evolve and solve problems and to build better mousetraps and to sleep peacefully.

      We all carry the burden of making those that we love feel less pain. And when we cannot, we feel responsible for their misery. We feel that we didn't do enough or we should have done something differently. This causes us stress and anxiety, feelings that we don't need or should want in our lives. Rather than fight these emotions and find alternative ways of coping, we should learn to accept them as what makes us a real human, a loving, giving, nurturing human being, the DNA part that God has given us. It's time now to relax and be happy and know that you did your best.

    It helps to think of something you like or find really interesting. if you like cars just imagine seeing or being in your dream car on the road. if you like aliens or space, just look at the clouds and imagine if a giant UFO flew across the sky. I’ve learned that that is a way for you to turn off your fight or flight response completely because it distracts and intrigues your brain at the same time.

    I have been multitasking while eating since 2 years now and after watching this video I think that is the reason behind my weight gain. There was nosignificant change in my diet but I gained a lot of weight over time. I will try to focus on my food now and won't watch any vidoes while eating. Thank you so much Emma :) Sending love

    My friend Judy, went to mindfulness training. She has Autism. She is so amazing. She has these skills naturally and taught me. She lives in the present moment. I know all levels of Autism is different. She knows this by instinct. She taught me not to obsess about weather disasters.
    She took me to park and help me stay focus in the present moment with God. I think it’s important like Judy, did. Let me feel, but not judge or advise. Autism are awe insightful.

    Wow since I am not in the mood to write on my journal. Might as well just right here on my little tiny note pad aka the comment section.
    I had an experience where I noticed the tiny details about my surroundings. I went outside and I saw my cat under the table, on the ground beside the plants. I sat on the chair table and I noticed how the sun rays is so bright that it shines on my cat with the plants around him, it’s so aesthetically pleasing to see so I was smiling at how crisp it is. His with and orange fury with the green scenery, it’s something I could only saw on ghibli movies or in animated game I play before about cats. Then I raise my hand and see how the sun shines on it, everything so vibrant and crisp. I thank God for that day, and I feel blessed to be able to witness it

    Thank you so much for your efforts to bring out such a well thought-out and rigourous course on emotion processing that is still so easy to understand and relatable. I feel my life changing with every video and have already started checking myself when I catastrophize, stray away into worries about the future and forget to stay grounded in the present moment. The tapping skill has helped me a lot and it surprised me how easy it was. This is just a minute fragment of all that I have learnt from my course. I feel like I understand where my therapist is coming from now and it helps me absorb what he is saying so much better. Very much looking forward to more of your content!

    I used to vent & use avoidance. It did make things worse. Much worse! I became agoraphobic because I taught myself to be afraid of going out in public by avoiding it & worrying about it. I started using mindfulness after discovering the anxiety guy's channel. Now I've converted to Buddisim, I'm so into it & feel so much better! I'm reading an excellent book titled, "Living Buddah, Living Christ". Jesus taught mindfulness too. I just find it interesting how most Christians don't realize this or see it. It becomes plain as day when you practice mindfulness.
    It's crazy how my anxiety & panic attacks just left after I stopped resisting it & just let it go. It wasn't instant or fast at all. Took some practice, but I haven't suffered a panic attack in over a year! I was having them daily before.
    When we rely on drugs alone, we are teaching ourselves that it's not in us but an outside source. The peace really does come from within. It's not the pills, it's YOU. You do have the strength & willpower!
    If you're using pharmaceuticals like antidepressants or benzos, that's okay too, sometimes we need help, but please don't rely on those alone. That's all I'm saying. Once you learn these your skills you can maybe attempt to wean off your helpers, when you're ready of course.
    I had the help of Zoloft, so there's no shame in it, but telling yourself it's ALL the pills isn't healthy. I've been there before & there is NO out with that method. Once you run out of pills it comes back. It's an endless cycle.

    I dreamed I was being attacked by a huge tiger, and, from watching your video (before bed) I learned the tiger's "sweet spots" and tamed it into petting it's face and it was happy. That was the overview of it anyways. Thank you for sharing this with us! 👍💯🙂

    Yesterday I approached a candle, I felt attracted to it maybe because most of the time I am free I just decide to overthink but at that moment I chose to be in present, I gazed at the candle and sat on my knees, it was on a table, I greeted it and put my hands on top of it's light. I felt real, I saw every dynamics of a candle and felt it deeply and then is when I understood the need of this video...

    This is very helpful. This showed up in the email newsletter. Additional benefit, a suggestion from the her lead me to the best video I have seen on ADHD. That 13 minute video by Dr. Russell Barkley had me going; OH! That describes me so accurately. EXPECIALLY where he has a lightening bolt dividing the two halves of the brain ... that is EXACTLY where I feel, in my head/skull, that my head is splitting in two, at times. I will be following that doctor as well.
    Thank you very much for all your help. Listening to motivational speakers still leaves you wondering if what they are saying is scientifically accurate or not. Listening to a qualified expert puts your mind to rest.
    Thank you once again.

    The vital first step is 'noticing'. No intervention can be effective if you don't work on noticing when your response is unhelpful. The great strength of mindfulness is practising noticing that your thoughts have strayed and gently binging them back. The human brain is born to wander (default mode) so the practice of mindfulness strengthens your 'noticing' muscle. THEN you can chose where you go next

I would like to hear you talk about the mindset that needs to be cultivated to find the right partner and how to process rejections. Processing rejections has been a hard thing for so many people. If you can talk about that in the context of dating and approaching woman, that will be great. Thank you

    I find the idea of acceptance super confusing. Accepting my feelings in the moment when I feel nothing but sadness and fear feels horrible so my mind is constantly looking for a solution, a way out. I like the idea you mentioned of seeing what other feelings are there. Had never heard that before and I’m going to try it. Anxiety feels like it blocks everything so I’m constantly trying to get rid of it so my brain can focus on other things but most of the time I feel stuck in a loop, waiting for it to return at any second. Maybe there is a way to accept and look for cracks of light. Thanks for your videos…make me hopeful I will find peace and happiness.

      Acceptance is the only way to fix it. When you stress your brain pays attention to it, when you don’t stress it doesn’t. When you accept you’re telling your brain to let it go
