If you have anxiety read this

when you are out in public keep in mind no one gives a flying fudge about you. Not saying that Ina rude way. Sometimes anxiety makes you feel like you got a thousand eye balls on you in public. If you listen to anxiety it'll give you a whole bunch of bs mental chatter. Don't listen to it. Don't allow it to speak from the very beginning don't allow to built any momentum.Just tell yourself when you are out in public that everyone has there own life and own problems and aren't staring at you and saying bad things. Anxiety will give you thoughts and excuses that may seem very rational but are not. Anxiety will throw so much bs in your head at any moment if you let it.Sometimes the things that make sense in ones head can make zero sense in real life. Emotions can help us. Fear/adrenaline in most cases is a useless emotion that you should ignore. Take deep breaths sometimes people forget to breathe when stressed. People don't understand what anxiety is and probably think oh this person is anxious. Is he/she on drugs? Let them think whatever they want. It's ok to think deeply but don't live in you head. Do what you need to do and don't think too much I know it can make you feel like everything is on emergency mode and you gotta hurry up do this and do that. Theres nothing wrong with taking time off.

Most of us are stuck in fight mode. Fight mode is for emergency situations like when you need to uppercut someone until there head flies to the moon (self defense). This type of energy is for emergency situations when we run on this kind of energy all day it burns people out physically and mentally in the long run. Coffee activates and/or very closely mimics adrenaline. Get rid of it.Imagine taking a solider off of the battlefield right after a gun fight and telling them to play a game of chess. They will be too jittery and mind going wild to think straight. Turn off fight mode with meditation and avoiding caffeine drugs alcohol smoking etc.

Then there's fear programming that has been given to us by society. Which is pretty much fear of everything. Fear is always there in our heads ready to say a bunch of BS. Oh I'm meeting a new person what if it ends up awkward? What if I get ripped off at the car dealer? What if I buy a business and i end up losing money instead of gaining?Fear is always there ready to say things. Fear is not always being chased by a dinosaur.
Hesitation is a form of fear and So are doubt and worry. Now ofcourse sometimes your mind is right but you need to know difference between gut feeling and fear. Biggest fear is fear of being yourself. New ideas will never be born out of tribalism mind set and repeat what your told. It will kill creativity. What is culture anyway? ALL are man made belief systems ALL have good and bad. It's not a crime to be yourself. Turn off stress response and Start making your decisions from clarity patience rational thinking instead of pressure impulse and worry.

Basically if you notice a bad way of thinking or a habit try to figure out the source and set the intention to let it go. We hold on to a lot of stuff from the past and don't come to any conclusion with it and so its more likely to stay with us. Kava unlike other plants seems to encourage healing instead of blocking off emtional intelligence. Sometimes things in the "back" of our mind can manifest as problems in the "front"of our mind. Our emotional filters need to be fixed. Back to the healing technique. Example you may hate going to the park across the street but prefer to go to other park 10 min away. You really hate that park next to house and there is probably a reason. Maybe when you were a child you broke your arm in that park and it was a painful experience. Just say this was the past and it was a bad experience but I need to move on and I set the intention to let go of it. The more detail/analyzation and the closer to the source of the problem you get the better. example I know I acted like an idiot in high school and it was very embrassing now that I think about it but it really doesn't matter because it's the past and everyone did dumb things at that age totally normal and nothing to be embrassed about I was still immature at that time just like everyone else. This technique can be used for ANYTHING. Also there are memories that may keep coming back to your head. There is a reason for that too. Use same technique above. It also helps a lot lifting heavy weights and dropping by bombs on the punching bag punches kicks knees elbows

Emotions can tell us a lot. Your job makes you feel bad and so you quit it. Emotions are part of the reason you take action. Emotions are not something you should numb. You need to find a balance. Emtional enough to care but not too much emtional to a point where you are overwhelmed.

Sometimes for whatever reason emotions can be over whelming and we need to over come them. Connect with your emotions and know the source they come from. You can have many layers of emotions. Sometimes old emotions are stuck because of drugs. It's important to keep emotional filter strong. Emotions are not useless things. Both good and bad emotions must be accepted and analyzed. Don't ignore bad emotions. Problem is many people have foggy lens on there emotions. They know they feel bad but hav no idea why. Sit down and contemplate and meditate. Zoom in on urself by being honest and meditation and staying sober healthy. Also just because you feel bad doesn't mean there's a problem. Sometimes it's just old energy or from toxic environment. You must have a healthy emotional health and be Intune with yourself. Numbing yourself only blocks healing.Society wants you to be a numb robot. When you are healthy you are able to deal with emotions better. You should be attention to both good and bad emotions. Don't ignore bad ones and embrace good ones. Both are telling you something. Society always Shames emotions "oh are you cry baby" go under a blanket and eat a bunch of cookies. Not that there is anything wrong with crying like a baby under a blanket.Then there are those who are emotionally "numb". I don't think they are numb they are actually emotionally over loaded and being in day dreamy numb like state is a self defense mechanism because if they felt all those emotions it would over whelm. Not sure if this is true but it makes a lot of sense to me. Symptoms of paralyzed by emotion are

Feeling connected but same time disconnected

Motivated but not enough to do anything

Procrastination

Thoughts are clear Body is working but lack motivation and drive

Day dreamy like state

Anxiety and stress can make you feel like you are ona roller coaster. Some People get used to living with it. Don't do that. If you have anxiety or stress have Franky and the boys rough him up and then shotgun his head off and let him sleep with the fishes. I know this may sound like common sense but you don't know what you are missing out on until you cure anxiety. It's paralyzing but same time you can live with it. Don't live with it.life is so much better without it.

This is my short story gotten past Anxieties. I hope others learn from my my misteps in a good way. It starts bad but gets good. In short many years ago while at school/University getting a masters in what is now called Organizational psych. While on vacation between terms I was called and told the departments funding was changed and that no longer included having the masters I was finishing. Possibly for the best in retrospect as it was a pretty iffy program. I had the following day what might be described now as one of the worst panic attacks I've ever had, and never want to go through that ever again. It involved doing some dangerous and monumentally stupid things. Thankfull they failed comically horribly bad and I was just god awful sick for a while. and then deciding to go be on someones couch, and then taking to vauluntere work. I still do some of the clubs many years latter.

Turns out:Anxiety...specifically very unique form of it called feer of being out in public, and rejections plus a host of other weirdnesses that we now have a wonderfully simple thing to help manage in fancy speak Cogniative Asistance. In short because my whole world of the time came to a schreeching halt: First a friend of mine turns out he had some very conditions plus all the work I had done with the masters, and almost loosing 3 friends because of Anxiety and Panic.
Or
In much much simpler speek: just being their to listen, and having someones back and doing what's right, or what's joyful and simple and laughing at or about issues eventually helped me. It was not a overnight thing, like at all. I had to "unlearn what I had learned" and take more things 'instride', and just shake my head at silling things and not take myself so seriusly. I i
That and reminding myslelf and to shut the bleep up and just to ask questions: hey is this normal? is this supposed to do that? where do I do? where do I find? can someone point me to? etc. That and litterally get out of the house and and step out of my own head. In my case that's not letting myself be cooped up inside and go to some fun meetups" Listen to nice upbeat music, wach funny shows. and turn the depressing ass american news off. Nobody needs that shit! We know the world is bonkers, stop telling us all the fucking time that we're in bonkers world and start covering some of the kick ass things NASA's doing (for example).
I don't know when I diecided to say: I'll own what I am! I am Dyslexic! I just want to be the best me I can be, have fun and laugh till my ribs hurt and the smile on my face makes my cheeks go wonky and I can't breath from enjoying life.
I full own having dyslexia and that one of the awkward part of that. In addition to weird grammer and spelling is getting stuck in my own head rather than saying head.
That and having akward social skills.
I'll toss a small thing in here In Aikido and Tai Chi; Chi attracts chi and listen to the force. Ok so you're going out to get gas on the way home from work and start to get a case of the vibes or panic. Pull over asap get out of the car (if driving) and laugh and smile say to I am not afraid of you dark! You'll get some weird looks. WHO CARES! Oh and just go to a different gas station9If safe and possible) or just ask yourself: do N-nead gas now. I toss that out their as a tool because sometimes. Not always a vibe, the force if you will is telling you something you're picking up on ques that might be important.
The kind of anxiety I got over eventually was getting creaped out at stupid shit to much and having to unlearn some of that.
It's normalish to get weird vibes or frustrations or whatever (just as examples) What is not normal is panicking about them laughing about being creaped out about a gast station is possibly healthy.

I hope my story of what anxiety if you let it helps people learn from my mis-steps. I am very happy to have ERMG, a non-proffit prototype might work out! I just get up and laugh (litterally who cares if it looks or sounds weird!) possibly a little KavaKava, get some fresh air and then go back to bed feeling all yummy and eager to take on the day.

Don't live in your head. It's ok to contemplate deeply but sometimes we can create bs in your head may start to make sense. I don't think you have bad social skills. You are probably just really anxious which causes you to think about every letter that comes out of your mouth. OR you are just a unique person who hasn't found people to vibe with. The machine has drained the life and creativity out of most people and anyone who is not affected by Social engineering is gonna come across as weird. Anxiety can be caused by living in the toxic city filled with materialism selfishness evil. A bunch of bullshit floating in the air. We're means to be around trees and water not millions of cars blasting out pollution all day and factories and peoples poisonous mind fuck energy. Off grid living is better than this mind fuck.Yea staying inside too much ain't good for ya. Try to go to the park every day for a few hours. So what if you have spelling and grammar problems. I understand what you are saying and that's all that matters. Little jimmy you used colon instead of semi colon omg triple space before each paragraph ooo were so trendy lol. It's ok man. There's nothing wrong with being dyslexic. Be careful with laughing too much. I've heard people going crazy by laughing too much no joke. Don't be too serious. Its ok to take a break. The news wants us to be Ina state of fear. All they talk about is negative stuff and it's all by design. Don't let it get to your head. It's actually worse in real life.the stuff they cover on the news is only the stuff they know about. plenty of stuff that the news isn't covering so yea don't let it get to you. The news wants you to feel like the sky is turning red and all the buildings are burning down.

Sometimes your anxiety is a lot less or zero but you can voluntarily make yourself anxious because you are so used to being anxious. If you have anxiety I bet you also have bad social skills. It's kinda hard to be social when you are so anxious. Anxiety makes you think about every letter that comes out of your mouth and so it can make conversations weird. You may feel like you are saying weird stuff when your really not. Relax.
