    • How To Deal With Anxie...
    Noah Elkrief
    This video is for people that are really having a hard time dealing with anxiety. It is about how to deal with anxiety, and it meant to give you instant anxiety relief.
    In order to get anxiety relief, you first have to understand what is causing your anxiety. It may seem as though anxiety is created by your situation, but if it was, then you would be forced to have anxiety in every moment that your situation was the same. But, that's not the case.
    You are only dealing with anxiety in any moment that you are thinking about the future. More specifically, in any moment that you think about the possibility of a "bad" outcome in the future, you feel anxiety. So, how to deal with anxiety? How to get anxiety relief? You have to discover that whatever outcome you thought would be "best" or "bad"... you don't actually know whether it would be, because you don't know the future.
    I hope that this video about how to deal with anxiety gives you the anxiety relief you are looking for.

      Noah Elkrief Hey Noah, you're videos are really great! I just love them. I'm thinking of setting up a consult with you one of these days to absorb some more of your wisdom. I am wondering if you have a specific video, or will be making a video, on this concept that there is no such thing as "bad" or "good". I do understand the concept of disproving thoughts and recognizing that we don't know outcomes in life (because of uncertainty); however, I get a bit lost when you start to describe the "i don't know scenarios". In some of your videos, you might say something like this: "I don't know if taking me the dream job will make me happy...if I don't take it, I might find the love of my life or meet my best friend instead". But isn't that still saying that we should "let go" or "be with what is" in order to discover something else might be "good"?

    • @bendietrees
      @bendietrees Před 9 lety

      Hi Justin, obviously I'm not Noah but I might be able to help clarify? He is using examples of what you might perceive as "good" or "bad" outcomes to help us wrap our heads around the concept of no good or bad. Like the first step, if you will. Ultimately experiences are simply experiences and we're the ones assigning "good" or "bad" labels to them. When he says you get fired from your job which might lead to you finding the girl of your dreams, well what if that later leads to divorce? I think that ultimately the seed of Noah's videos is about how things just "are" and it just takes a little building up to get to that concept. Without good, there is no bad. Without bad, there is no good, therefore they are the same thing and cancel each other out. He also mentions it's ok to experience things as good or bad, it's only when you want to not feel suffering because of it that you can question your thoughts and stop seeing things as a dichotomy.

    • @edwinmpeguero
      @edwinmpeguero Před 8 lety +1

      +Justin Pritchard I agree, I'm still confused with "bad" and "good" concepts. I think that what he actually means is that no goal can ever lead to happiness, so we should stop believing thoughts like: "it would be best if I got X," since neither "X" nor "not X" will lead to happiness. Thus, we should not seek happiness through goals, but through being present.
      The way he phrases it, it seems like he's saying that there might be a goal or complex series of events that could lead to happiness (for example: lose my job -> become a hobo -> fall in love with hobo princess -> happiness), but that we shouldn't trust our minds to find it. If that's what he's saying, then that would be an anxiety provoking reality since we can only hope to find happiness through chance.

      ***** I go through the same thing. There is time in my life when I am physically fit and anxiety doesn't bother me at all but when sometimes when i get depress, i start to smoke, eat unhealthy and stay at home that triggers anxiety and in worst case scenarios even panic attacts that can turn in to nightmares. I always try to keep a good balance and control in my life and keep myself busy in studying and work to avoid those nast anxiety attacks. I am sure that u too will be able to kick ur anxiety by finding ur special way

    I just want to say to all the people who have social anxiety, I give you a huge hug. Because it's horrible to always hear the 'it's all in your head' or 'just stop being shy' or 'just go out more'.
    It truly is like a prison, but I promise you're not alone, you're not 'pathetic' and it's not your fault to be feeling this way.
    If you try your best, you'll get better, slowly but surely. /hugs/ ♥

At this point, I am happiest in complete solitude. No stress, and the only stupidity I have to deal with is my own.

Somehow watching you was really soothing. It's weird how having someone basically point out your thoughts makes it feel like it's not you that has to deal with a problem solely. A lot of people feel the same way. The solidarity helps somehow. Thank you so much for this video!

      @shyaaammeneen63 Před 2 lety

      Patricia, How are you? To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, in school, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce negative media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

      My list of fears is so long: fear of war, car accidents, not seeing my loved ones again, fear of war, fear of losing my temper.

    This is probably the best video I've seen on youtube with regards to attacking anxiety as a whole. Bravo!! Your arguments are logical and your explanations are clear. I've been plagued with the problem of not really being able to decide which outcome may be better for my life or my happiness and eventually constantly over analyzing things. It's such a relief to hear from someone else that it's not only OK but actually more realistic and accurate to simply admit that "I don't know" and that you just have to try things out and live life. Any other preconceived notion of an outcome is a fantasy as you stated. Thanks so much I really hope more people watch this.

    • @NoahElkrief
      @NoahElkrief  Před 10 lety +3

      Diego Alonso You're welcome Diego! That's it. And also, the emphasis we place on the decision is due to the misunderstand that our happiness is on the line. As in, if we make the right choice, we will be happy, and if we make the wrong choice, we are doomed to unhappiness. However, our happiness is not dependent our circumstances, but only by our relationship to our thoughts.

I am 28 years old and I'm all but paralyzed by the fear that there simply isn't any direction I can go in with my life that won't just lead to more misery.
    The voice in my head is constantly screaming at me that I'm wasting my life and I have no idea what to do to silence it. I can't sleep, I have panic attacks and I feel like I'm falling apart.

    @tonilivingston8054 Před 8 lety +10

    Wow!!! This was exactly what I was thinking... I 100% agree. I get..it
    For example I quit my job because of my anxiety. I had so called a good job that paid well but I was miserable. I wasn't happy with myself. I totally shut down and felt worthless. Now a year later unemployed no one understands that the job was not the measurement of my happiness.
    In fact nothing could motivate me to want to work until I started to feel more happy and hopeful internally. Hardly no one I talk to understands this concept that you are talking about.
    Why is this? It's incredibly hard for people to understand this and meanwhile they just look at me crazy or like a loser...
    I think maybe one reason why people are not quick to believe this concept of true happiness is that they are hanging on to concept and they fear letting it go... I'm guilty of it too I just have not gotten to that stage to fully let go....I have the awareness though.

    This was outstanding cognitive introspection. I was so tired of the same advice, sleep more, eat better, exercise more, be more social, all of those advices only added more anxiety. This addresses the psychological root. At the start of the video, my whole body was so tense all my muscles started to burn and atrophy, my heart was pounding, I couldn't breathe and my head was full of air. By the end of the video I was breathing calmly and completely relaxed, my headache went away and the tightness disappeared instantly. Amazing

I know you have helped so many people. I don’t consider myself an anxious person, but in the last year I’ve lost my mom, my grandmother, major ups and downs with family and friend relationships and this has affected my way of thinking and rethinking of myself. Thank you so much for sharing this love of self and understanding with us all.

    Can you make a video on death anxiety and the anxiety related to losing loved ones? Or can you link a writing or an article based on this, I've been suffering from such anxiety lately and the worst part is that it is coming in the way of me doing every work, also in the form of existential crisis, whenever I start doing something, thoughts like "why am I doing this? What'll this do to me, I'm going to die anyway" start hovering over my mind and it makes me really upset. Thank you for this video though, your videos have helped me a lot!

      Yes, this is my problem. I live in terrible fear of something happening to my children, my spouse, or myself. All I want is all four of us to live to a ripe old age. The odds that any of us dying would lead to an ultimately better outcome than all of us living are so small that it simply is not compelling enough to reduce my anxiety. My children need me. There may be another mother for them out there that would be somehow even better, but 1) I'd be dead and 2) I am a really good mother and my children have been raised carefully by me in a unique way.
      I need my children. Yes, if they died, I might...say...adopt a child that I have an even more wonderful relationship with...but, again, the odds of this are infinitesimal. My children are my children and my whole world.
      The least anxiety is about my spouse, but, again, the chances I could find someone better for me are infinitesimal; we are an excellent match, very much in love, and have been together for over 20 years.
      How am I supposed to live with this fear? It eats me alive sometimes.

To know that they were finally free of the invisible shackles put on us.....that they were free.....and instead of thinking "whats the point if we are gonna die anyways"......think of how you can make someones day brighter.....try to help atleast one person everyday..... It will keep your mind busy and give you a rewarding feeling....maybe volunteer at a non profit to help people in need.....hope it gets better....and always remember there are other people feeling and thinking the same way you are..... They just dont want to admit it cause they dont want to be judged.....

    Anxiety is just a lifestyle now. I constantly feel like I might pass out or like there’s cotton in my head and I can’t think straight. My muscles are weak and my body shakes constantly, and I always think I can sleep it off, but when I wake up in the mornings it’s still there. I started skipping things I really need to do just because I literally have no energy anymore and I’ve convinced myself I’m dying of some horrible disease and just don’t know it. It’s awful.

    I feel like sometimes my anxiety helps me to feel more alive. That when I overcome a anxious moment I feel a rush of emotional well-being, that I am being what I should be in that moment. On the whole though anxiety is a nightmare, repetitive circumstances of unfocused fear. Fear of hurting people or animals is what triggers me the worst; or fear of enjoying the suffering of others. This is a great video, thanks Noah.

    • @shyaaammeneen63
      @shyaaammeneen63 Před 2 lety

      Deidra, How are you? To feel better reduce negative thoughts with a simple practice. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives good relief from stress-anxiety. To relax sit on a chair or lie down, neck straight, eyes closed and observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. Don’t fight your thoughts. With daily practice the mind will relax. No deep breathing needed. Do the practice without any expectations. When taking a walk, at office, on mobile, when reading, before sleep etc observe your breath sensations. Like me, make this a lifetime daily habit to have a good life. Reduce negative media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind instantly. Best wishes--Counsellor.

    I've noticed there are background noises: the chirping birds and the sound of nature. In turn, I realize that the lens in which i view the world is becoming less and less clogged with distracting thoughts. The lens is much clearer now than when i first started viewing your videos. I NEVER would have been in the present moment enough to notice the simple bird noises in the back; I would have been thinking about something else and every now and then my attention would come back to your voice.

He saved the picture and he keeps deleting it and getting it back. He is posting the photo online and sending it around and everyyime he deletes it off of his phone he gets it back to embarrass me. He is no longer my friend because of this. I have trouble falling asleep at night because of the pain in my chest and stomach and the anxiety that he will send it around and it's going to get out there. (I used to have really bad anxiety when I was skinny but going to the gym and going to the therapist made me get over it but lately it's been coming back) what should I do to get over this anxiety, he says he deleted the photo but he has said this 4 times before so I don't believe him
