Transcripts
[Music] How's your relationship with anxiety? Does it drive you crazy? Does it get in the
way of living your life? Do you get stuck worrying and feeling sick to your stomach
or sweaty? When you get all codependent with anxiety, it can really mess up your life.
Have you ever had an uncle or a coworker, the type who tried to convince you that the
world was flat or something? Maybe your relationship with anxiety is a bit like that. Oh, hey,
hey. Oh. [Music] Hey. How you doing? Did you know there's going to be a massive cheese
shortage, and it's gonna send the markets into a Great Depression. Now is a great time
to invest in cheese stocks.
No there's not. Oh, no, yeah. Yeah, this is a conspiracy from the cheese barons, but first
they've gotta increase market share by taking out the potato farmers so they can destroy
Coca-Cola. Like, where did you hear that? Like, where where are you getting your information?
But first they have to take out the potato farmers with cheese-scented laser beams. And
if you try to debate him with facts, he only gets more persistent. Okay. Are you serious?
Cheese-scented laser beams? Have you ever seen one? I've got a friend who works in the
silos in Idaho, and his brother's the governor and says that they're putting mind-altering
drugs in the water. No, listen, listen. I'm sure that if they were putting mind-altering
drugs in our water it would show up in the wastewater studies. Like, I know someone who
works with the DWR. Look, I - you have been a little bit brainwashed. Come here, come
here. Give me a hug. Only with anxiety, it sounds a little bit more like: Oh, hey, hey.
How's it going? Oh, hi, anxiety. Didn't expect to see you here. Well, I guess I shouldn't
be that surprised. Hey, um, did you know everyone's looking at you? They're all looking at you.
They're they're all wondering why you're here. Like, where did you hear that? Like - Yeah,
I mean, I I heard, I heard Megan and Bob talking about you over there. They're they're probably
just looking at me because I dyed my hair, and it looks great. Oh, I'm glad you like
your hair. I mean, uh, yeah, I mean I guess it's - I better not say what other people
might be thinking. Okay, they probably think it sucks. Sarah invited me here. Why why would
she invite me if she didn't want me to be here? Maybe she was just trying to be nice.
Like, she didn't actually want you to come. Yeah, well, maybe everyone's staring at me
because I'm arguing with myself. Now, maybe your uncle - or in this case, your anxiety
- makes you so uncomfortable that you just stop going places. You stop going to parties,
you stop seeing the people you love because you just don't want to be around him (your
uncle) or it (the anxious voice in your head). Maybe you've created a life where you avoid
anxiety, but you've had to cut out a bunch of things because of that. Now, in this course
I'm not gonna promise you that your anxiety will go away or that you'll magically never
feel fear or worry again, but in 30 days you can learn to transform your relationship with
anxiety. Now, anxiety itself is not a disorder. It's what we do with anxiety that determines
the quality of our life. When we believe the lies that anxiety tells us, when we let it
make choices for us, when we let fear run the show, an anxiety disorder can make us
miserable. And when we struggle against it, when we try to like force the anxiety to go
away, it often gets louder. So like a relationship with that overbearing family member, I'm going
to teach you the skills to set boundaries on your anxiety - like texting before dropping
by. Oh, wait, that's for family. You'll learn things like knowing what to say to anxiety,
how to spend less time with it, and how to not let it bother you so much. And as you
build this healthy relationship with anxiety, you might even find that occasionally it has
something good to say. Not often, but occasionally it helps you just a little because anxiety
serves a function. And learning how to relate to anxiety can give you back your life. In
this course you'll learn how to transform your relationship with anxiety. You'll learn
how to drop the struggle with anxiety and set boundaries on your worries so that you
can decrease your worry by 75% or more. You'll learn how to stop overthinking and get back
to enjoying yourself. You'll learn how to handle that inner critic so that you can maintain
your sense of self and you can let go of doubt and work through fears. So just like with
that difficult family member, you can learn the skills to show your anxiety compassion,
to listen to what it has to say but not believe everything it says, and to live your own life
the way you choose - a life that you value that is rich and meaningful. [Music] Oh, hey,
hey, you're probably ruining your children.
Oh, oh, hi there, worry. Um I don't have time to talk about this with you right now, but
I do have five minutes later. Uh let's talk at five, okay? [Music] This just in. Breaking
news. Um everything is awful, and it is going to be awful forever, and it's probably actually
going to get worse, regardless of all the advances in science, medicine, technology
. . . Okay. Well, you can say what you want, but I don't have to believe you. It's just
terrible. [Music] Oh my goodness, oh my goodness, darling, don't jump off that diving board.
You could fall. Basically, you're gonna learn how to be the Mahatma Gandhi of worry management:
peacefully holding your truth, standing up to lies and oppression, and gaining independence
from the trap of anxiety. In this course you'll learn 30 skills to have an entire toolbox
of options for managing anxiety. And when you practice them, you can learn to take your
life back. So here's how the course works: I'll be publishing all 31 main videos to YouTube,
but you can watch the entire series with the extra skills, ad-free, with a workbook, with
bonus resources and access to Q and A's with me on my website. I'm publishing one video
per week to YouTube, but I'll publish the videos to the online course as soon as they're
ready. The first section is all about changing your mindset around anxiety, changing how
you think about anxiety, learning how it works, what you're doing that feeds it, and how to
drop the struggle with anxiety. Section 2 teaches you about the thinking patterns that
you're doing that make anxiety stronger and louder and, of course, how to adjust how you
think, to set boundaries on anxiety, and drastically decrease it. And then in Section 3 you'll
learn how your nervous system's response creates this feedback loop that either calms anxiety
or exacerbates it. You'll learn how to lean into your sensations, to lean into the wisdom
of your body, and turn on its natural ability to soothe itself. And then in the last segment
of the course, you'll learn how to take back the confident and meaningful life that you
really care about. You'll learn how to get back to doing the things that you care about
and bring back the joy and purpose that you used to have in life. So this section is all
about moving in your valued direction. Now, this course isn't just academic; with each
lesson there are actionable skills and practical exercises to retrain your nervous system to
be more resilient and centered. It's like lifting weights for your calmness muscle.
And like I said before, the course comes with a workbook, bonus lessons, Q and A's, and
lots of body-calming skills and resources to help you feel confident to know what to
do when anxiety does pop up and how to set boundaries on it so that it doesn't impact
your life anymore. Everyone feels some anxiety, but you don't have to let it run the show.
You can really learn the skills to change anxiety. So here's your first somatic skill:
let's start by having you curl up. Put your head down, shrink yourself down into like
a hunchy little ball like this. Okay. And then say, "I can do this. Okay. I can do this.
I can do this." Notice how that feels. Your body is sending the message to your brain
that you're actually not capable. Now, put your shoulders back, chest out, chin up, and
just say, "I can learn new skills. I can learn new things." Your body is sending you the
message that you are competent, you're capable to learn the skills to manage and work with
your anxiety. Now, I know you can do this. Let's go.
