How to Stop Anxiety and Panic Attacks


peace and Finnick waters diving deep
once again we are out here with nature
we got lots to talk about how to handle
your awkward anxiety and panic attacks
when even had breakfast yeah can I get a
Hello the breathing in that good ass
prana baby so we got a question in from
a woman who wrote in she wrote this my
mind is running the show and I’m losing
control
well you better buckle your seat belt
honey because Kansas is going bye-bye
can I get a hello there she say she’s
got a lot of anxiety coming up from her
past she’s afraid of what’s gonna happen
in the future the unknown and I get tons
of questions on panic and anxiety and
guess what I had a lot of panic and
anxiety growing up and yes what did I do
well since this is the 7 day vegan
challenge what have I got right here oh
yeah let’s start with food and anxiety
right cuz this I just plucked this out
of my garden
no I didn’t I just bought it in a shop
never mind right watercress 100% the
most nutrient dense vegetable in the
world now the reason why I’m going to
share with you right when I was having a
lot of panic attacks a lot of anxiety I
was just drinking a lot of coke right I
was eating a lot of spare ribs right and
a lot of Cheetos and I was really
anxious and then I met this my little
friend right the cat down the road
introduced me to watercress and this is
full of magnesium right which is the
ultimate natural chill pill you need so
you’ve got to start looking at your diet
and how nervous or not nervous you are
right how anxious or not anxious you are
right so watercress leafy greens Swiss
chard
Kayle you want to look at the dark
chocolate the tryptophan gonna increase
the serotonin make you feel better but
what else right you got to look at the
Omega threes from the chia seeds right
you got to start looking at the
chamomile tea you got to start looking
at the tumeric right
the curcuminoids right the antioxidants
which are going to help relax your
muscles right so let’s start with a food
there right because if you are drinking
a lot of caffeine well that’s why Yanks
just can I get a hello there it’s that
simple right I am gonna share with you a
little story about I write the Deep
Diver growing up my mom would always
have lots of guests around the house and
sometimes I would have to entertain them
while she was in the kitchen right what
would happen I would go into her I would
go into a room full of people I’ve never
even seen before and then I’m gonna have
to act like I know them like we’re best
friends right and I’m not really a small
talker I’m a Deep Diver so what would
happen I would go into the room then I
would hear the door lock three
statements all people with anxiety say
to themselves and panic attacks what is
the first one something bad is about to
happen and that’s what happened to me
cuz I said what are those can I get a
Hello they’re right we have an impending
doom of something bad about to happen
and then the second one is there’s not
enough time right
so I’m in the room in the living room
with a bunch of faces I’ve never seen
before and I’m like gosh time is running
out to get out of here and the third one
is there’s no way out and I heard the
door lock behind me and I’m like why do
you do that mom can I get a hello there
there’s no way out right but actually
let’s review those three statements
every
body with anxiety high amounts of
anxiety and panic attacks have so
something bad is about to happen well
show me the proof right now what is
happening nothing just something bad is
about to happen right so no proof there
isn’t enough time well we don’t have any
watches on we got we got turquoise baby
can I get a hello there no proof and
there’s no way out well I just said
excuse me
and open the door well my mom slid the
key in the door under the door I got the
key and then I went out right but you
see anxiety is not a negative thing
here’s where it gets really interesting
because you see what if I told you that
you are gonna fly out to Fiji I’m gonna
pay for it all-inclusive five-star hotel
keep dreaming right now you might have
anxiety but it’s good anxiety right it’s
that good nervous feeling but you see a
lot of our panic attacks when you have a
panic attack don’t tell someone to snap
out of it because it really does feel
like a matter of life or death right it
feels so real that I used to get panic
attacks and I would have a sharp pain in
my chest I would say mom called the ER I
would go to the ER and they’ll say
nothing’s wrong with you and I was like
yes there is there is something wrong
with me right because it feels like your
world is literally coming to an end and
then you realize you wake up to see
another day and you’re like woohoo right
so you got to start looking at it like
that that many times growing up we have
equated anxiety with something bad what
happened when you went outside you
stayed outside for a long time
you broke your curfew you were supposed
to be in at 8:00 a.m. no 8:00 p.m. right
and you came back at 12 o’clock right so
you had a anxiety because you thought
something bad was about to happen and it
probably was then you realize gosh
that’s not enough time because ice
already 11 o’clock and then you realize
yes there is no way out so can you see
how the Triad works right now I talk
about total body awareness that’s what’s
helped me along my journey I’m always
whoa breathing in that good ass prana
baby right allowing myself to tune into
myself what we call checking in the
mental check in being grounded in the
present moment because a lot of us we’re
afraid of the unknown well that hasn’t
happened and we’re afraid of the past
well it’s already happened so you can’t
change it we can’t control what’s
already happened or what’s about to
happen
mmm slow motion hmm right all we can
control is what is taking place inside
of ourselves at this present moment and
we don’t even control that can you
control your breathing yeah the cat down
the road says you know right now you
can’t because it’s automatic you will
breathe whether you want to or not it’s
a survival mechanism deal with it can I
get a hello a lot of us who have a lot
of anxiety we have a lot of focus right
we’re very focus on the external
check-in right you’re seeing what’s
happening you’re hyper aware but this
time it’s not serving you why because
now you start analyzing everything you
start creating imaginary scenarios which
probably aren’t going to happen that’s
what happens with a lot of people who
are great expert Nobel Prize winning /
thinkers clap for yourself can I get a
Hello the the secret to stop
overthinking is to let go of who you
think you are so when I had a lot of
anxiety I was very conscious okay I was
conscious because I’ve been to and lived
in all kinds of environments I thought
gosh
I’m like the weirdest mix I was born in
London some people will say I’m a black
man I’m a planetarium right and I just
have Honda round so many different kinds
of people so growing up it was hard to
deal with because I would be placed in
all kinds of environments and I thought
gosh I was the odd one out right and
then I started to actually see gosh this
is really showing me a lot about myself
so you got to realize anxiety does serve
a purpose right anxiety does serve a
purpose right because now when you
realize this secret when you stop
allowing fear to hold you back you can
now allow fear to push you forward mmm
slow motion mmm right if you are anxious
and having a lot of anxiety it means you
are stepping moving to the next level
you are getting ready for the big jump
right I was afraid of lions until I
threw myself into the Lions Den and
became a lion can I get a hello there
I’m not afraid thank you mmm right I am
though right it’s okay to have anxiety
you see the reason why a lot of us have
anxiety all of us have anxiety for
goodness sakes but a lot of us have it
to the point where it doesn’t serve us
anymore right and it’s because of this
we have a panic attack let’s just say
it’s at the most inconvenient time when
your friends are around maybe someone
you fancy is around the cat down the
road is around you’re giving a speech
right the president is watching you your
favorite singer is watching you Drake
and Rihanna
right or Tom Jones and you have a panic
attack
go on you just have a panic attack when
you really want to relax you see when
you want something to happen it usually
doesn’t right when you say I want to be
calm I want to be calm you create a lot
of resistance a lot of people say I
don’t want this panic attack to happen
it happened right so you got to start
releasing those thoughts which say this
is bad
allow it to come have a very less affair
approach and that’s what helped me along
my journey I said look if I’m gonna get
a panic attack at least I’m gonna go
down swinging can I get a hello there
you got to learn how to exaggerate your
panic attacks and that’s what really
helped me because a lot of us we’re
really anxious we’ve got a lot of panic
because we are taking ourselves way too
seriously
the secret to stop overthinking is to
let go of who you think you are but no
you don’t want to do that forget about
that you’ve got this whole identity
you’ve constructed which now you have to
celebrities we look up to pop stars
models you yourself i myself write a lot
of people with anxiety generally right
it’s because we have a lot to lose right
ever been around town with lots of money
hung around the cat down the road right
a lot of people get anxious when they
have a lot to lose but what happens if
you’ve got nothing to lose when you can
be vulnerable right when you’re not
afraid of spilling the beans tell me a
secret Ralph I’m left-handed
can I get a hello there no anxiety there
no anxiety because I write with my left
hand
I’m not trying to say I write with my
right hand right so when you start not
feeling guilty about who you are
the panic resides and the anxiety
resides but when you can start this is a
great technique to start going through
the panic attack right before it happens
right prepare yourself before it happens
and a lot of the times I used to do this
in front of the mirror like pretend I
was getting a panic attack like what
would I do like right and it’s kind of
fun because it feels great right and
then when it actually happens you’ll be
good you’ll be going into the panic
attack like oh my gosh your heart is
beating really fast and then you you you
think of when you’re pretending to have
a panic attack and you’re like oh you
can start burst out laughing right and
everyone’s watching you like what the
hell just happened
nobody knows have it right Harvard
Harvard did a study about how yoga helps
with anxiety right and also the
University of Utah so many studies have
shown how yoga helps with anxiety
because I talked about total body
awareness and that’s why if you’re
talking about panic and anxiety I always
ask people where is your panic and
anxiety well they say it’s up here I say
you know snot they say yes it does say
no snot they say yes it is I say no it’s
not they cut down the rosin I know right
so hey what happens when we forget to
realize our anxieties all over our body
that’s why you got to become aware of
your body you got to check into your
body how relaxed or tense are my muscles
right now right I have what I call the
moment of anxiety M Oh a
not m.i.a no we didn’t go into Miami not
today probably go on the weekend right
okay
em Oh a moment of anxiety you need to
locate your moment of anxiety a lot of
people are anxious and have a panic
attack at the same place every single
day for me it was being in large crowds
of faces which I was like who the hell
are you can I get a hello there I’ve
learned to deal with it right when you
locate the moment of anxiety and
oftentimes the same place it’s the same
situation the same circumstance now
here’s the real secret you’ve got to ask
yourself what are you doing in the
moments you want having panic attacks or
anxiety well Ralph I’m just lying on the
beach can I get a hello there well do
that can I get a hello there right can
you hear that dog barking right there
dogs animals are wonderful teachers to
learn from how to deal with anxiety they
don’t hold in their emotions if they
want a buck they’re going to buck if the
cat is going to mirror is going to do
that but a lot of humans we’re hiding
away when we talk off the moment of
anxiety now here’s how it works what
you’ve got to do is let’s just say there
is a trigger lots of people’s trigger
could be it could be someone else you’ve
never seen before all of a sudden you
feel anxious so you got to realize that
you don’t want to run away from your
anxiety you don’t want to run away from
your panic attack you want to feel it a
hundred percent
until you become immune to it mmm slow
motion mmm and once you become immune to
it then you get another anxiety
challenge maybe it’s the even scarier
person you don’t want to run away you
want to stay put and you want to feel
all of those uncomfortable feelings and
allow yourself to feel them without
guilt or shame without trying to run
away right and then it’s gonna feel
really really really really really
really really really really really
really uncomfortable but afterwards
you’ll be smiling right or not probably
throwing up anyway
the longer you can sit with your anxiety
and not being resistance to your anxiety
as saying things like oh this is
negative when in fact it is just
highlighting an unresolved issue within
yourself that is the moment my friend
that you free yourself of having an
awkward panic attack when you’re just
about to meet someone you really love
right they wouldn’t even judge you
anyway don’t worry about it
so look for the triggers look for what
triggers you and then see what you are
doing when you are not anxious do more
of that and then sit with the anxiety
anxiety panic attacks aren’t negative in
fact they are the greatest gifts in
disguise for helping you become your
greatest version whoa breathing in that
good ass Prada and yes when you are
breathing deep from the base of your
spine you are relaxing your
cardiovascular system see how calm I’m
talking right now find the right music
