305 | Anxiety Symptoms Understood
On today's episode, I talk about the many nasty symptoms and sensations triggered by our natural stress response. Some include: nausea, fatigue, racing mind, body zaps, and heart palpitations. The typical person easily misreads these symptoms as something life threatening, but they are a natural occurrence due to our body preparing itself to respond to threat. I hope this shines a light on the anxiety confusion you may have.

This is the beginning of anxiety recovery. I hope you enjoy.

I unravel the cycle of health anxiety - how it presents itself, how it triggers emotional reactions and how understanding this cycle is the first step towards breaking it. The next coms from Liam and he says: could continual anxiety cause harm in the future? This leads into a critical examination of societal norms, unhealthy living standards, and trends that conventionally induce a web of dependence and escalating health issues rather than promoting true healing.

One must move from their unconscious unawakened state to consciousness in order to live authentically and true.

113 | The NEED For Certainty
On this episode, I talk about 3 of the 6 human needs: certainty, variety, and significance. Certainty is the need for being in familiar territory. Anxiety sufferers are in the unknown (chaos) and seek to make their overwhelming questions answered. Variety (order) is the opposite of certainty. The unknown. This need is to seek out new information. Having too much order or too much chaos is not good, so the mediation of the two is the proper path forward. Then, there is the need for significance. I go over how this dependent need keeps someone trapped in ego (unconsciousness).

101 | Artificial Happiness

97 | Recovery: Step 5 | Positive Role Models
On episode #97 of The Anxiety Project Podcast, I talk about step 5 of the recovery journey: have a positive role model. This step is about subjecting yourself continuously to the person you are looking up to. Your potential lies within their knowledge because they went though the same thing as you and has gotten better. The more you are around that person (does not have to be physically), the more you mirror and become like them.

You will stumble forward toward that aim and feel like a fool while doing it, but at least you are further down the path than you were yesterday.

87 | 2 Techniques for Self Growth
On episode #87, I talk about 2 powerful techniques that help you to move forward in your recovery journey. These techniques are: the say it in past-tense technique and the out loud affirmations technique. Why these techniques are so powerful is because they speak directly to the unconscious mind (the 95% of who you are). The first technique (say it in past-tense), allows you to to disassociate yourself from your old anxious identity. The second technique (out loud affirmations), engrains powerful affirmations within your unconscious mind just by speaking them out loud with some emotion behind it. I talk about why these techniques are so powerful and much more in this podcast episode.

On this episode, I talk about the challenges anxiety sufferers face while going through their recovery journey. The question is, why do more traumatic memories present themselves after I release and resolve one? To answer this, I discuss the unconscious mind and how it stores trauma. I then go over the process of reframing and how we can release the baggage within our unconscious that is weighing us down. After, I explain why another traumatic memory replaces the old one and how you can resolve this continuous pattern.

On this episode, I talk about bad role models, the qualities of a bad role model, and how they can keep you stuck in your current limited identity. A role model can be anybody you spend most of your time with as well as actors, artists, or musicians you look up to. The saying: "you are who you hang around," holds a lot of truth to it. The best way I thought to tackle this topic is to talk about my past relationship with my former best friend, and his contribution on my previous anxious identity.

83 | Most Common Anxiety FEARS
On episode #83, I talk about the 2 underlying fears of a health anxiety sufferer: mortality and social judgment. Like myself, many people suffering from health anxiety remain in their safe zones because they fear having heart attack and dying out in public and making a fool of themselves why they do it. Then I go on to discuss other fears such as vomiting, the fear of a loved one dying, and the fear of developing a serious illness. I pick these fears apart and talk about ways to overcome them on this podcast episode.

82 | What is Health Anxiety?
On episode #82, I answer the question - what is health anxiety? Also known as hypochondria, health anxiety can take over your life. When I suffered from it, I would continuously obsess over different areas of my body for weeks thinking that this strange mark on my skin or sensation within my body was life threatening. Then I would seek out loved ones for reassurance, google my sensations, go to the doctors, or stay at home in my safe zone continuously. In this episode, I go over the reasons WHY people suffer from health anxiety and HOW you can overcome it, naturally.

81 | Anxiety Recovery SETBACKS
On episode #81 of The Anxiety Project Podcast, I talk about recovery setbacks and how to properly handle them. Setbacks are inevitable, they are part of the journey, but can be devastating to an anxiety sufferer. A obstacle has presented itself, the goal seems unattainable for a moment, and then anxiety is produced. The snowball of negative thinking is likely to begin at this point. The thing is, depending how you look at it, setbacks can be viewed in a positive manner. I go over why this is the case, and more, on this podcast episode.

80 | Motivations to Change
On episode #80, I list some very important questions that help facilitate the drive necessary to move yourself away from that anxious old you, towards that ideal you. If there isn't a big enough fire lit under you, then you may easily fall back into your old ways. When you connect pain to your current situation, that motivates you to move further away from that state. If you also attach pleasure to the future you you want to manifest, that will keep you on course towards that ideal. I also go over my motivations to change and talk the fire that helped me push through that resistance to overcome my anxiety disorder.

After my disorder, my life changed in many ways. My relationships changed, I had more confidence, I became braver, knowledgable, and less dependent on those around me.

Even if you are not currently suffering from anxiety, it can be easy to entertain those "what if" thoughts and spiral down into a sensitized state. For many people growing up, we were never taught how to handle life's challenges, so it is important to implement the techniques and strategies I suggest in this podcast episode so that you can be that rock for those who currently struggle with this pandemic.

Some include - sharing anxiety symptoms on blogs, relying on your partner for support, ALWAYS making excuses, and waiting for the right time. The question is - how badly do you want to change? When I fist discovered the many bad habits I was doing daily that only fueled my anxiety, I had a massive awakening. Discover your anxiety fueling habits here on this weeks episode.

This almond shaped part of your brain is over 150 million years old and has helped us protect ourselves from those predatory animals lurking around the corner. Understanding the operations of the amygdala helps you better understand the anxiety you are currently facing. You can then work with your amygdala to desensitize yourself and move towards a more neutral state in your emotions.

This belief that I held close to me, the belief I would never change, added more fuel to the fire that is my anxiety disorder. What can I do to eliminate this belief and move forward? Can I actually overcome anxiety fully and live the life that I want? All this and more will be answered in this weeks episode.

The self talk you provide yourself can alter the overall outcome of the fearful challenge are you about to face. When your anxiety systems become active, it takes over all other brain processes, and so now every part of you wants to avoid that perceived threat. I talk about what you can do to push through this extreme resistance and overcome the challenge you are about to face.

TAPP #71: 5 Things Anxiety Sufferer’s DON’T Want to Hear
On episode #71, I talk about the statements and phrases anxiety sufferers don't want to hear when battling their mental health challenges. I dig into such phrases such as: "you can't teach a dog new tricks, and just relax you'll be fine." To a health anxiety sufferer, saying that people are unable to change only engrains their belief that they will have to live the rest of their life in this anxious state. When I was told to just relax and calm down, I felt like that person had no idea what I was going through, thus making me feel more alone and fearful. The goal of this podcast is to deconstruct these statements and explain why they only further sensitize someone with health anxiety challenges.

If you enter the dragons lair without a proper sword and shield, you will be eaten alive (so to speak). You won't know how to handle the anxiety during the event, so you will most likely leave and thus worsening your anxiety in the future.

TAPP #69: Reasons to Overcome Anxiety
On episode #69 of The Anxiety Project Podcast, I talk about the reasons why you need to overcome your anxiety. If you want to successfully reach the goals you want to obtain, attach pain to not changing and pleasure to change. This will give you the drive to reach them. When met with that resistance, most people resort back to their old unconscious habits because it is just too painful to continue forward. The more pain you attach to staying in your anxious chaotic state, the more you will push yourself past that pain and towards that ideal person. Then by attaching pleasure to your desired future, such as living more mindfully with your family, the more you will manifest that outcome.

I will never forget that moment when I had my first paradigm shift (that "aha" moment). I was watching Youtube videos of others talking about health anxiety and it suddenly clicked, maybe I am not actually going crazy and maybe I don't actually have an illness. I then talk about about my journey to recovery and how I began developing the right tools (habits) to reduce my anxiety and live a more peaceful life mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and energetically.

When transitioning from anxiety sufferer to anxiety warrior you will experience a lot of resistance when you introduce new habits into your life. These new habits are things that you are not accustomed to - so of course it will be challenging to do them on a consistent basis - but its important that you do it. Anxiety recovery is about changing your identity 180 degrees, so don't expect an easy transition. In this podcast episode, I go over the habits I was running before my anxiety recovery and then the new habits I am running daily after my anxiety disorder.

TAPP #30 - 3 Ways To Mold The New YOU
On episode #30 of The Anxiety Project Podcast, I go over three things you must do in order to mold the new you. Anxiety recovery is all about creating a new identity and subtracting the old habits and patterns you used to run on a daily basis that kept your anxiety alive and your self worth low. To improve the quality of your life, you must expose yourself to new situations and patterns. I see people who are in their 60's running the same patterns as they would when they were 18 years old. People need to update their software, which is their beliefs and values, in order to change the way they act in the world. Once you change your internal world, then your external world changes.

TAPP #29 - 3 Techniques For Overcoming Anxiety
On episode #29 of The Anxiety Project Podcast, I go over 3 important techniques that will greatly improve, not only your anxiety, but the quality of your life. The three techniques are: a strong morning routine, reducing your speed, and the elastic band. It takes 30 days for a new pattern to become consistent in a persons life so make sure you do these on a daily basis. These techniques will be foreign at first, even difficult to get into because your subconscious will not like the change, but it is important that you do it.

TAPP #28 - Break These Habits To Overcome Anxiety

The habits I go over are: poor physiology, hanging out with negative friends, too much Youtube and TV, giving the negatives energy, and constantly avoiding challenges. Once we can recognize the habits we unconsciously run on a daily basis, we can start shifting our perspective over them, and break the cycle that keeps you stuck in anxiety.

TAPP #27 - 3 Reasons Why You Remain In Constant Misery
Our subconscious mind runs on habits and it loves familiarity. Breaking bad habits that keep you running the same anxious patterns daily in your life is crucial for overcoming anxiety. In this episode I go over the 3 reasons why you remain in constant misery. The first is that you constantly point out what you DON'T want in life. The second reason is you continuously magnify the BAD and not the GOOD. The third reason is that you are NOT updating your checklist. I go into all three of these reasons and break them down so that you have a better understanding of why you feel stuck in anxiety. It's time to start breaking down the walls that keep holding you back from living a fulfilling life.

Improving on these bodies will result in better rest and digestion. I then talk about important habits I do before sleep that really improved my life.

TAPP #25 - Agoraphobia
Agoraphobia is the fear of places and/or situations that may make you feel trapped, anxious, helpless, and embarrassed. On this episode, I dive into Agoraphobia and what it is like to experience this type of anxiety disorder. There are ways to overcome Agoraphobia such as: systematic desensitization and rhythmic breathing patterns and I go over them in detail on this podcast episode. People who suffer from Agoraphobia tend to avoid the places that cause them panic, thus growing that very fear bigger and bigger until they are unable to leave their house. It is crucial to not run away from an environment when panic begins to strike because you are then telling your nervous system that this place, and similar places like it, are deadly and should be avoided.

TAPP #24 - 6 Habits Of A Health Anxiety Sufferer
On this episode of The Anxiety Project Podcast I go over the six habits of a health anxiety sufferer. The six habits are: too much time in your safe space, leaving the event early, calling a loved one for reassurance, touching parts of your body, urinating frequently, and one word answers. Knowing the habits you unconsciously run on a daily basis can be a major breakthrough because you will start to shift your perceptions over them. Remember, do not let anxiety define who you are.

TAPP #17 - My Powerful Anxiety Story #3 (Starting Recovery)
On this episode of The Anxiety Project Podcast, I talk about the beginning of my anxiety recovery and what I started to do in order to detach myself from my old anxious self. I finally had enough of dealing with my severe health anxiety and living my life sensitized to everything around me. I decided to not live another day like this. I made the decision to educate myself on the what I was actually going through. I found influencers online who provided me with the tools and techniques I needed to overcome the challenges I was facing. The people that I decided to model after were people who went through the same challenges I went though and overcame them naturally. When I became completely dissatisfied with how my life was, change began to occur. When change began to occur, I was met with resistance. When I was met with resistance, I did not run away from the feelings but started perceiving them differently. I started looking at them in a more empowering manor. Remember to never run away from the fire, but to run towards it.

TAPP #14 - The Process Towards Anxiety
You first get placed with social labels, then placed with an identity, you have an idea of who you are, you feel a sense of significance, and then you feel a sense of belonging. Anxiety is practised. I practised anxiety since I was a little boy. To know the causes of your anxiety disorder means to go back to your childhood. That 10-year-old child is still screaming inside you and you are still walking around each day giving that child attention. It's time to say no more.

One bad habit can snowball into another. The subconscious loves habits and when we start to adopt new empowering habits into our lives, we will experience resistance to this change.

When we replace a bad habit with a good habit and practice it day-by-day, remarkable changes start to occur.

TAPP #11 - Going Against Popular Thinking
Popular thinking is going with the norm. Automatically accepting other peoples opinions and ways of thinking can influence your own thinking and identity. It is important to adopt your own way of thinking and to put yourself in uncomfortable situations so that you can create a new empowering identity. When we start using our rational thinking and begin challenging what others say or think, we are then going against the grain of popular thinking.

TAPP #9 - Understanding Your Symptoms of Health Anxiety (Hypochondria)
On this episode, I discuss what your symptoms of health anxiety (hypochondria) could mean and how to face them. The subconscious mind/body, meaning the mind and body are both connected, store past traumas and experiences, that haven't been dealt with yet, somewhere in your body. This can cause body zaps, heart palpitations and pains (plus many other sensations). I go over how we can start looking at your many sensations in a different way.

TAPP #8 - How To Handle A Panic Attack
I discuss handling a panic attack the right way. They are scary and and very overwhelming. If you ride the wave of panic and resist the urge to run away or call up a loved one, then you have already began inner change. If you can start facing your fears head on, then you can start rewiring your brain. It is about proving to your subconscious that the environment you are in is safe and not dangerous, thus activating the rational mind in us rather than the irrational mind.

TAPP #7 - Negative Thinking
An anxiety sufferer has no control over their negative thinking. There is no conscious guard in your mind that provides rational facts toward the negative thoughts that pop in. I discuss the ways we can start taking control over our minds, and lesson the amount of negative thinking that we encounter daily. Remember, when we give those negative thoughts emotion, we entertain them.

TAPP #2 - Recognizing Health Anxiety and Overcoming It
I hold this topic near and dear to my heart because I have had health anxiety my entire life. I remember when I was in grade 7 feeling a little lump under my jawline and thinking "Im dying." I even phoned up my mom concerned on what it may be. It would consume my thinking for the entire day. This is health anxiety.
Now, if you are like my old self, unable to leave the house because of this debilitating anxiety, then you know how painful it can be. I was confused, running on no sleep, and completely overcome by this feeling of hopelessness. I was unable to walk one block from my house before shaking into a panic state and then running back home scared of the sensations.
To overcome Health Anxiety was the biggest challenge for me. The symptoms I was experiencing such as; lower back pain, discomfort while urination, lower stomach pains, headaches, and blurred vision, were all caused by ANXIETY. I never had what I thought I had. The reasons I had these symptoms was because of my anxiety and the emotions I haven't dealt with yet.
Now when I say emotions i haven't dealt with yet, I mean our bodies store information that cause physical sensations. For example: When I think back on an embarrassing moment in my life that causes me grief, I will then feel that certain sensation somewhere on my body whether its my chest, lower back, head, and neck. Another common sensation is the lump in the throat feeling which a lot of anxiety sufferers get as well. The sensation's make us believe something is wrong and we constantly pay attention to the sensation for days. But if it doesn't go away, it must be something serious right?
Wrong. I kept thinking about this pain in my right side for days and days but it wouldn't disappear. I was giving it attention, thus, keeping the sensation alive. So how do you take your mind off of it and get over health anxiety?
