https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7EX1Xnvvk5c<\/div>I don’t know about you but for me 2020\u00a0 has been a bit of a stressful year\u00a0\u00a0 so i thought i’d share with you some of the things\u00a0 that i do every day to manage stress and anxiety\u00a0\u00a0 but in this video i’m also going to explain a way\u00a0 of thinking about stress that can transform stress\u00a0\u00a000:00:18<\/a>from something that is you know just something bad\u00a0 that happens to you into something that you can\u00a0\u00a0 channel to be more productive and also help you\u00a0 feel calmer so in this video you’re going to learn\u00a0\u00a0 10 daily habits to reduce stress and anxiety and\u00a0 don’t worry i’m not going to tell you to meditate\u00a0\u00a000:00:45<\/a>this video is sponsored by better help where\u00a0 you can get a professional licensed counselor\u00a0\u00a0 who can personally coach you through anxiety and\u00a0 stress for around 65 dollars a week so check out\u00a0\u00a0 the link in the description for 10 off your\u00a0 first month so i’ve been reading the little\u00a0\u00a000:01:02<\/a>house on the prairie books to my daughter and in\u00a0 book three we’re reading a story about almanzo\u00a0\u00a0 and his farming family in the 1800s\u00a0 and they survived off of what they grew\u00a0\u00a0 and in one of the stories right before the fourth\u00a0 of july they’ve got their corn starting to sprout\u00a0\u00a000:01:16<\/a>in this in the fields and the weather starts\u00a0 to get weird so it seems like it’s going to\u00a0\u00a0 freeze so before they go to bed the parents\u00a0 start to worry a little bit about the crops\u00a0\u00a0 and they they don’t go to sleep they stay up and\u00a0 they watch the temperature and sure enough it does\u00a0\u00a000:01:33<\/a>start to freeze so they get all the kids out of\u00a0 bed in the middle of the night and the only way to\u00a0\u00a0 save the corn is to pour water on each of these\u00a0 tiny little stocks before the sun comes up and\u00a0\u00a0 if they don’t their corn is going to freeze and\u00a0 they’ll have no harvest that year so every member\u00a0\u00a000:01:46<\/a>of the family anxiously runs through the night\u00a0 hand watering each little corn sprout in their\u00a0\u00a0 acres and acres of fields and by the time the sun\u00a0 rose they’d managed to save most of their crop\u00a0\u00a0 they were exhausted but they were also content\u00a0 and after they did the rest of their morning\u00a0\u00a000:02:03<\/a>chores they were able to sit back and relax\u00a0 and appreciate the hard work that they’ve done\u00a0\u00a0 so the stress response is your body’s activating\u00a0 response when you sense a threat in almanzo’s case\u00a0\u00a0 this was their livelihood about to be destroyed\u00a0 your body turns on this sympathetic response it\u00a0\u00a000:02:21<\/a>sends out some adrenaline to spur you into action\u00a0 it heightens your breathing and your heart rate\u00a0\u00a0 to prep you for performance and almanzo and his\u00a0 family they use their stress response to spur\u00a0\u00a0 them on the worry helps them to be vigilant to not\u00a0 sleep to take this you know impressive physical\u00a0\u00a000:02:40<\/a>action and this stress response potentially saved\u00a0 them from complete crop failure so anxiety isn’t\u00a0\u00a0 just something bad that happens to you it serves a\u00a0 function but our modern language confuses anxiety\u00a0\u00a0 with anxiety disorder and it’s given this\u00a0 negative connotation to the word anxiety\u00a0\u00a000:02:58<\/a>but anxiety isn’t out to get you it’s your body\u00a0 and mind’s performance mode so the stress or\u00a0\u00a0 the anxiety response can help you have more energy\u00a0 and get more done and then it’ll naturally resolve\u00a0\u00a0 if you know how to channel it so i’m going\u00a0 to teach you some daily habits you can use to\u00a0\u00a000:03:14<\/a>naturally resolve your anxiety when you think of\u00a0 anxiety as a motivating energy to resolve problems\u00a0\u00a0 anxiety can become a powerful tool instead of just\u00a0 something bad that happens to you that you want to\u00a0\u00a0 avoid and even if you do have an anxiety disorder\u00a0 these tools will help you reduce your stress\u00a0\u00a000:03:31<\/a>levels and get healthier so let’s talk about a\u00a0 modern problem that we all have one of the reasons\u00a0\u00a0 that so many people struggle with stress and\u00a0 anxiety is that we face a few modern problems that\u00a0\u00a0 make it a lot harder for us to deal with stress\u00a0 than almanzo and his family back in the 1800s\u00a0\u00a000:03:49<\/a>because our anciently evolved brain isn’t so good\u00a0 at dealing with modern stressors we all need to\u00a0\u00a0 take an intentional approach to managing anxiety\u00a0 so the first problem that many of us face is that\u00a0\u00a0 so many of our modern stressors are connected\u00a0 to problems that we can’t solve physically\u00a0\u00a000:04:09<\/a>so in almanzo’s case when they were worried\u00a0 they got that jolt of adrenaline and cortisol\u00a0\u00a0 and they were able to use that physical energy to\u00a0 solve a physical problem they didn’t feel stressed\u00a0\u00a0 afterwards because they burned off the adrenaline\u00a0 and cortisol when they were running around solving\u00a0\u00a000:04:24<\/a>the problem so for many of us our modern stressors\u00a0 are things like deadlines and assignments\u00a0\u00a0 traffic noise and our crops are sitting\u00a0 at a computer instead of planning corn\u00a0\u00a0 so if i’m stressed about a problem at work i may\u00a0 not sleep and i might even solve that problem\u00a0\u00a000:04:41<\/a>but the adrenaline and the cortisol stay in my\u00a0 system until i physically burn them off so this\u00a0\u00a0 is where exercise becomes clutch daily exercise\u00a0 is an essential part of reducing pent-up anxiety\u00a0\u00a0 five minutes of exercise has been shown\u00a0 to reduce cortisol and adrenaline levels\u00a0\u00a000:04:59<\/a>exercise can decrease overall levels of\u00a0 tension it can elevate your mood it can\u00a0\u00a0 improve your sleep and it can improve your\u00a0 self-esteem so aerobic exercise you know where\u00a0\u00a0 you’re breathing really hard that tends to be\u00a0 the most effective type of exercise at reducing\u00a0\u00a000:05:14<\/a>stress but really any kind of movement is helpful\u00a0 so going for a walk or a bike ride or even just\u00a0\u00a0 doing like wall sits or stretching for a minute\u00a0 in your office those can all be helpful so the\u00a0\u00a0 first thing i’m going to encourage you to do is\u00a0 just find a way to add some movement to your day\u00a0\u00a000:05:33<\/a>now let’s talk about your morning routine how\u00a0 you start your day is going to set the tone for\u00a0\u00a0 your entire day so if you’re like many people the\u00a0 first thing you do makes your anxiety worse so um\u00a0\u00a0 this is what it looks like for a lot of\u00a0 people you’re tired because you went to\u00a0\u00a000:05:48<\/a>bed a little bit late and the first thing you do\u00a0 is start scrolling through your phone you look\u00a0\u00a0 at social media or the news and then you drink\u00a0 some caffeine now caffeine is the most widely\u00a0\u00a0 used psychoactive drug in the world it crosses\u00a0 the blood-brain barrier in seconds and it makes\u00a0\u00a000:06:02<\/a>you feel more alert by reducing adenosine but\u00a0 adenosine is a relaxation chemical in your brain\u00a0\u00a0 caffeine can also increase adrenaline and it can\u00a0 make you feel more irritable more anxious and\u00a0\u00a0 more agitated now you can develop a tolerance\u00a0 to the alerting effects of caffeine meaning\u00a0\u00a000:06:19<\/a>you’re going to need more coffee the next time to\u00a0 feel alert but you don’t develop a tolerance to\u00a0\u00a0 the anxiety effects of caffeine so caffeine\u00a0 use can impact your sleep and your anxiety\u00a0\u00a0 for up to 48 hours and caffeine has been shown\u00a0 to contribute to anxiety and depressive disorders\u00a0\u00a000:06:36<\/a>so if you’re serious about decreasing your anxiety\u00a0 try getting caffeine out of your system for at\u00a0\u00a0 least three days and see how how that impacts\u00a0 you i personally don’t use caffeine because\u00a0\u00a0 of the impact it has on on my anxiety levels\u00a0 if you feel tired one thing you could try is\u00a0\u00a000:06:53<\/a>getting more sleep sleep helps your brain\u00a0 function better which makes it so you can\u00a0\u00a0 better solve problems and resolve situations\u00a0 that bring you anxiety so if the idea of\u00a0\u00a0 making these changes seems overwhelming um i’m\u00a0 just going to encourage you to start slowly just\u00a0\u00a000:07:08<\/a>make one little change every month there there is\u00a0 no quick and easy fix for anxiety like if you’re\u00a0\u00a0 looking for some magical cure you’ll have to\u00a0 check some other channel because that’s not what\u00a0\u00a0 i’m selling but you can drastically reduce your\u00a0 anxiety by making small and sustainable changes\u00a0\u00a000:07:27<\/a>okay so now let’s talk about your\u00a0 media consumption so our ancient\u00a0\u00a0 evolved brain is much better adapted to the world\u00a0 of little house on the prairie than it is to our\u00a0\u00a0 modern media almanzo and lara may have gotten a\u00a0 newspaper once a week or heard the news from town\u00a0\u00a000:07:41<\/a>occasionally but that news was often about\u00a0 local events the news was brief and infrequent\u00a0\u00a0 and actionable so stress about the news could\u00a0 be resolved by taking action so for example\u00a0\u00a0 if a couple in town got married they could make\u00a0 them a present or if a barn burned down in town\u00a0\u00a000:07:57<\/a>they could go help their neighbors build a new\u00a0 one this is the opposite of what we have today\u00a0\u00a0 so these 24 7 streams of disaster around the\u00a0 world these trigger our stress response as if\u00a0\u00a0 as if we’re in physical danger but they they\u00a0 don’t give us any place to act to create safety\u00a0\u00a000:08:15<\/a>so if you wake up in the morning and you just\u00a0 start scrolling through your feeds or you start\u00a0\u00a0 watching the news you’re basically giving other\u00a0 people the power over your adrenaline glands\u00a0\u00a0 i do not recommend starting the day off with the\u00a0 news instead sit back for a second and think what\u00a0\u00a000:08:30<\/a>do you want the tone of your day to be for me i\u00a0 want it to be upbeat calm self-assured peaceful\u00a0\u00a0 and powerful now what kind of media does that for\u00a0 you for me it’s prayer and scripture study first\u00a0\u00a0 thing in the morning for you it may be meditation\u00a0 journaling uplifting music but the important thing\u00a0\u00a000:08:51<\/a>is that the first thing you do is something you\u00a0 choose so i don’t i don’t just bury my head in\u00a0\u00a0 the sand when it comes to the news i choose to to\u00a0 check a couple of of straightforward news stations\u00a0\u00a0 um once or twice a day but i don’t do it first\u00a0 thing in the morning i also i also choose to focus\u00a0\u00a000:09:10<\/a>more of my time on areas that i can take action\u00a0 on instead of on areas that are out of my control\u00a0\u00a0 the stress response is supposed to help you\u00a0 it’s about performance and taking action but\u00a0\u00a0 it’s also supposed to be the short-term reaction\u00a0 so it’s healthy for bursts of speed but it becomes\u00a0\u00a000:09:26<\/a>unhealthy when it’s chronic and when that stress\u00a0 remains unresolved so if you take the little house\u00a0\u00a0 of the prairie story they worried they didn’t\u00a0 sleep they took action they did what they could\u00a0\u00a0 to save the corn and some plants lived and some\u00a0 plants died but then they relaxed our body has a\u00a0\u00a000:09:42<\/a>natural balancing reaction to the stress response\u00a0 this is called the parasympathetic response but\u00a0\u00a0 most of us don’t know how to turn it on so you can\u00a0 choose to turn on this parasympathetic response\u00a0\u00a0 through grounding exercises or breathing exercises\u00a0 which i’m going to talk about later but the most\u00a0\u00a000:10:02<\/a>natural way to resolve the stress response is\u00a0 to simply complete a task so if you feel worried\u00a0\u00a0 about an assignment and then you turn it in ah you\u00a0 feel that stress go away and this is one of the\u00a0\u00a0 reasons why coping skills can only go so far in\u00a0 helping anxiety because anxiety is best resolved\u00a0\u00a000:10:21<\/a>by doing one of two things either taking\u00a0 action to resolve the problem or threat or\u00a0\u00a0 whatever it is or practicing active acceptance\u00a0 so letting go of things that you can’t change\u00a0\u00a0 but in our virtual world even when we do complete\u00a0 a task or we resolve a problem it can be hard to\u00a0\u00a000:10:39<\/a>see the results so my next tip is that you find\u00a0 a way to acknowledge when you can set down a task\u00a0\u00a0 you you make it concrete so for me i really like\u00a0 checklists um i’ll even like if i complete a task\u00a0\u00a0 and it wasn’t on my checklist i’ll write it on\u00a0 my checklist and then i’ll check it off so that\u00a0\u00a000:10:57<\/a>i can um feel that sense of completion now there\u00a0 are lots of ways to do this but find some way to\u00a0\u00a0 mark off or to acknowledge when you’ve completed\u00a0 a task mike boyd just made a really interesting\u00a0\u00a0 machine that does this or simone yertz gertz i\u00a0 wish i know how to say her name right um they also\u00a0\u00a000:11:14<\/a>have some interesting ways to kind of mark off\u00a0 when they’ve completed something so i encourage\u00a0\u00a0 you to find some way to give yourself some\u00a0 physical tangible way to celebrate your success\u00a0\u00a0 now this can be really hard to do with\u00a0 long-running stress or long-term projects\u00a0\u00a000:11:31<\/a>but you can learn skills and practice them to\u00a0 turn off the stress one skill that i learned from\u00a0\u00a0 michael barrett who was the director of the center\u00a0 for change this is an eating disorder treatment\u00a0\u00a0 program is to every day when i leave work to make\u00a0 a conscious practice of setting that work aside\u00a0\u00a000:11:48<\/a>so for me i just say a little prayer about my\u00a0 clients i say lord i’ve done the best i can\u00a0\u00a0 i’m leaving them in your hands now there is a\u00a0 lot of different ways to do this but the basic\u00a0\u00a0 idea is choosing when to carry something mentally\u00a0 heavy and when to set it down so this could be as\u00a0\u00a000:12:03<\/a>simple as turning off notifications on your phone\u00a0 or setting boundaries at work about when they can\u00a0\u00a0 and when they can’t contact you when your job\u00a0 is mostly mental or mostly emotional or virtual\u00a0\u00a0 i also really find it helpful to choose something\u00a0 manual to complete it can be really nice and\u00a0\u00a000:12:21<\/a>relieving to see physical progress on a task so\u00a0 this could look like cleaning something mowing\u00a0\u00a0 the lawn fixing something physical there’s just\u00a0 something about physical tasks and completion\u00a0\u00a0 that seem to click that like ah switch in the\u00a0 brain it triggers that parasympathetic response in\u00a0\u00a000:12:39<\/a>our brain that says okay you’re all right you’re\u00a0 safe now and it turns off that stress response\u00a0\u00a0 now managing anxiety is about being intentional\u00a0 and in control instead of reactionary so i have\u00a0\u00a0 this picture in my head of me as a little kid\u00a0 coming home from playing at a friend’s house um\u00a0\u00a000:12:57<\/a>you know it’s evening it’s starting to get dark\u00a0 and i i grew up in a super safe town but when it\u00a0\u00a0 started to get dark and i was walking home um you\u00a0 know how it feels like there’s like that tingle\u00a0\u00a0 in the back of your neck and maybe you wonder\u00a0 if there’s something behind you in the dark\u00a0\u00a000:13:13<\/a>um now of course in every single situation there\u00a0 was nothing back there but if you start running\u00a0\u00a0 then you get more scared and you get you\u00a0 get more and more scared the faster you run\u00a0\u00a0 and then you get through the door and you slam the\u00a0 door whatever you look out the window and there\u00a0\u00a000:13:27<\/a>was nothing behind you now that is how i visualize\u00a0 daily low level stress and anxiety it’s like you\u00a0\u00a0 start to feel that tingle in the back of your neck\u00a0 and your impulse is to run so if you’re at work\u00a0\u00a0 and you start to feel a little bit stressed you\u00a0 try to work harder you try to work faster and you\u00a0\u00a000:13:43<\/a>try to get more things done but that doesn’t\u00a0 make you more effective i have the tendency\u00a0\u00a0 to try to fill every waking moment with busyness\u00a0 you know checking your email or just keeping busy\u00a0\u00a0 all the time by always staring at your phone so\u00a0 just like me as a little kid we perpetuate anxiety\u00a0\u00a000:14:00<\/a>when we run from it when we run from ghosts\u00a0 so instead of running like stop slow down\u00a0\u00a0 turn around and look around you and\u00a0 you’ll see that there’s nothing there\u00a0\u00a0 so what does this look like in my day-to-day\u00a0 routine this looks like taking the time to breathe\u00a0\u00a000:14:18<\/a>taking the time to slow down to do something\u00a0 calming or to do something grounding\u00a0\u00a0 this is this is how you regulate your nervous\u00a0 system throughout the day you may feel like you’re\u00a0\u00a0 getting more done by just going faster but you’ll\u00a0 be a lot more effective and less stressed out\u00a0\u00a000:14:36<\/a>if you take a minute every hour or so to\u00a0 just clarify and to breathe and to slow down\u00a0\u00a0 our brain is not very good at multitasking that\u00a0 can trigger that sympathetic that fight flight\u00a0\u00a0 freeze response so another way to help strengthen\u00a0 your parasympathetic response is to monetise so\u00a0\u00a000:14:56<\/a>our brain gets super overwhelmed by multitasking\u00a0 basically interprets too much stimulation as\u00a0\u00a0 being unresolved threats so close those tabs do\u00a0 one thing at a time and then just you know one\u00a0\u00a0 of the things that i do throughout the day that\u00a0 helps me calm down is to just notice where you are\u00a0\u00a000:15:14<\/a>so just notice right now that you are watching\u00a0 this video now i promised that i wouldn’t tell\u00a0\u00a0 you to meditate but mindfulness is different it’s\u00a0 just slowing down and noticing the present moment\u00a0\u00a0 noticing that you are doing what you are doing and\u00a0 then you can move on and get back to you know your\u00a0\u00a000:15:28<\/a>work or whatever so another essential skill to\u00a0 manage anxiety for your daily routine is to do\u00a0\u00a0 what i call big picture small picture so stress\u00a0 is not the problem chronic unresolved stress is\u00a0\u00a0 the problem this is the problem of the brain not\u00a0 knowing how to sort and manage all the stimulation\u00a0\u00a000:15:48<\/a>and all the triggers and all the threats that come\u00a0 at it and when we feel too many things coming at\u00a0\u00a0 us our brain interprets that as if we’re being\u00a0 attacked as if we’re in danger if if you’ve got\u00a0\u00a0 so many things that feel urgent but you can’t\u00a0 do them all your brain can go into shutdown mode\u00a0\u00a000:16:06<\/a>so what do we do with this right no one no one has\u00a0 the time to do everything they want or need to do\u00a0\u00a0 so so how do i manage this i personally take\u00a0 the time to intentionally sort out and choose\u00a0\u00a0 what i’m going to work on what are my priorities\u00a0 and and what i can let go of and this i really\u00a0\u00a000:16:23<\/a>believe can help clear up that chronic unresolved\u00a0 stress so for me i don’t know whether it’s anxiety\u00a0\u00a0 or whether it’s add but i am i constantly\u00a0 feel like my brain is overflowing with ideas\u00a0\u00a0 and tasks and to-do lists and then on top of\u00a0 that there’s the screaming children so the way\u00a0\u00a000:16:38<\/a>that i i manage this is i’m constantly throughout\u00a0 the day writing down my to-do lists so i’ll write\u00a0\u00a0 down a list of everything on my mind and then\u00a0 i’ll just choose one or two things clarify\u00a0\u00a0 what is most important what are my priorities\u00a0 and then i just get to work on a couple of them\u00a0\u00a000:16:55<\/a>and that helps me manage my stress and anxiety so\u00a0 for some people clarifying looks like journaling\u00a0\u00a0 and this can really help with anxiety because it\u00a0 helps your brain sort through the confusing mess\u00a0\u00a0 and and to get clarity and then to get going\u00a0 again um another thing you can do like i do is\u00a0\u00a000:17:11<\/a>these priority or to-do lists but then just make\u00a0 sure to highlight only the few that you’re going\u00a0\u00a0 to work on or journal the journaling skill of\u00a0 a brain dump or journaling about your locus of\u00a0\u00a0 control each of these things can help you you know\u00a0 clarify and manage your stress throughout the day\u00a0\u00a000:17:29<\/a>now i’m going to jump ahead here to sleep you\u00a0 know you think going to sleep would be my last\u00a0\u00a0 daily routine but sleep is really\u00a0 important so to be able to sort through\u00a0\u00a0 all these tasks you really need the executive\u00a0 functioning part of your brain to be working\u00a0\u00a000:17:43<\/a>and for that part of your brain to\u00a0 work well you need to get enough sleep\u00a0\u00a0 so when your mind is rested it can\u00a0 better manage all that excess stimulation\u00a0\u00a0 and it can resolve anxiety when it comes up but i\u00a0 know it can be hard to sleep when you’re anxious\u00a0\u00a000:17:57<\/a>i have a hard time sleeping sometimes so if\u00a0 you’re not getting enough sleep or you’re having\u00a0\u00a0 a hard time sleeping i would say just choose\u00a0 one small step you can take to sleep better\u00a0\u00a0 now in order to manage anxiety another skill\u00a0 that i’ve had to learn was to get a little bit\u00a0\u00a000:18:13<\/a>better at saying no so resolving anxiety is about\u00a0 regaining self-control so if you want to resolve\u00a0\u00a0 anxiety you may have to say no to the occasional\u00a0 party so that you get enough sleep so that you\u00a0\u00a0 don’t need coffee in the morning so that you’re\u00a0 not stressed out and anxious throughout the day\u00a0\u00a000:18:28<\/a>choosing a sustainable path instead of a frantic\u00a0 one requires like a careful sorting of priorities\u00a0\u00a0 in your life so when we consciously choose\u00a0 to not overload our brain it can handle these\u00a0\u00a0 tasks with more composure so this is something\u00a0 i have to work on all the time is just saying\u00a0\u00a000:18:45<\/a>no to a lot of things that i want to do but\u00a0 i know are not going to be helpful for me\u00a0\u00a0 now next one i want to talk about is getting time\u00a0 in nature i’m not going to spend a lot of time on\u00a0\u00a0 this but there is a bunch of research that nature\u00a0 is really good for anxiety and i personally love\u00a0\u00a000:19:00<\/a>it so i’m going to encourage you to try to get\u00a0 some nature into your day-to-day life i am blessed\u00a0\u00a0 to live in an area where i can get out in nature\u00a0 every day but you can get a dose of nature even if\u00a0\u00a0 you’re trapped in the city so go for a walk look\u00a0 at the sky water a plant keep a fish visit a park\u00a0\u00a000:19:18<\/a>or even just watching a documentary or looking\u00a0 at pictures of nature can be really soothing\u00a0\u00a0 for your brain so i’m gonna encourage you to make\u00a0 nature a part of your daily routine the last part\u00a0\u00a0 of my daily habits that i use to reduce stress and\u00a0 anxiety is i make sure that my day is not too full\u00a0\u00a000:19:36<\/a>i make sure that i turn off at some point during\u00a0 the day so take time to wind down in the evening\u00a0\u00a0 so that you have time to get ready to go\u00a0 to sleep and and get a good night’s rest\u00a0\u00a0 and and wake up ready to take care of yourself so\u00a0 for me my wind down routine looks like turning off\u00a0\u00a000:19:54<\/a>my phone taking a hot bath reading some random\u00a0 book and even though i’m super busy with three\u00a0\u00a0 little kids and a job and a business i make it a\u00a0 priority to get a few minutes of peace most nights\u00a0\u00a0 so comment below what are you going to do for\u00a0 your wind down routine what helps you manage your\u00a0\u00a000:20:11<\/a>day-to-day stress levels when you take the time to\u00a0 resolve problems and to work with your brilliant\u00a0\u00a0 ancient brain you really can learn to reduce\u00a0 anxiety and to get a lot of things done okay\u00a0\u00a0 that’s it i hope you find this helpful\u00a0 thank you for watching and take care
