Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey everyone, Leo Weston here and welcome back to anxiety,
Meet discipline. If you're anything like me, and let's be honest,
who isn't, Sometimes then anxiety can feel like that uninvited
guest who just shows up, crashes on your couch and
hogs the remote. You know, that feeling right, that not

(00:20):
in your stomach, The racing thoughts, the urge to hide
under the covers and binge watch Netflix for a week straight. Yeah,
we've all been there. But here's the good news. Anxiety
doesn't have to rule your life. And guess what, you
don't need a fancy therapist or some crazy new diet

(00:40):
pill to feel calmer and more in control. Just ten
simple habits can make a world of difference. Think of
these as your secret weapons against the anxiety monster, your
personalized tool kit for peace of mind. So let's dive
into those ten game changing habits. First up, movement is magic.

(01:05):
I'm not talking about running marathons or becoming a yoga guru, though,
hey if that works for you, rock on. Just getting
your body moving, even for fifteen minutes a day, can
do wonders. A brisk walk, some dancing in your living room,
even just stretching at your desk, anything to get those
endorphins flowing and break the cycle of stress. Next up,

(01:30):
prioritize sleep. I know, I know. Sometimes it feels like
a luxury we don't have time for. But trust me,
consistently skimping on sleep is like running your body on fumes.
It fuels anxiety, messes with your mood, and makes everything harder.

(01:50):
Aim for seven eight hours of quality sleep each night.
Think of it as an investment in your mental well being.
Now let's talk about food. You are what you eat right,
and that includes how you feel. Processed junk, sugary drinks,
and excessive caffeine can actually spike your anxiety levels. Swap

(02:14):
those out for whole foods, fruits, veggies, lean protein. Fuel
your body with goodness, and don't forget hydration. Water is
essential for calming the mind and body. Ever, notice how
certain situations or people tend to trigger your anxiety, Well,
it's time to take control of those triggers. Practice mindfulness

(02:38):
and learn to recognize those early warning signs. This doesn't
mean avoiding everything that makes you nervous. It means becoming
aware and developing strategies to cope effectively. Remember connection is key.
Don't isolate yourself when you're feeling anxious. Talk to a friend,
family member, therapist, anyone you try trust. Sharing your feelings

(03:02):
can be incredibly therapeutic, and knowing you're not alone can
make a world of difference. Speaking of support systems, don't
underestimate the power of community. Join a group, find online forums,
or simply connect with people who understand what you're going through.
Building a network of support can provide valuable insights, encouragement,

(03:28):
and a sense of belonging. Next up, we have gratitude.
It might sound cheesy, but taking time to appreciate the
good things in your life can shift your perspective and
help reduce anxiety. Make a list of things you're grateful
for each day, big or small. Remember those wins. Celebrate

(03:49):
your successes and focus on the positive. Now here's one
that often gets overlooked. Boundaries. Learn to say no to
commitments that drain your energy or add unnecessary stress. Protect
your time and prioritize your well being. It's okay to
put yourself first sometimes. Finally, practice self compassion. Be kind

(04:14):
to yourself even when you're struggling. Anxiety is a common
human experience. It doesn't define you. Acknowledge your feelings without judgment,
offer yourself support and understanding, and remember that you are
worthy of love and care just as you are. Okay,
let me paint you a picture. Imagine this. It's Monday morning.

(04:38):
You wake up feeling that familiar nod in your stomach.
Deadlines are looming, emails are piling up, and the thought
of facing traffic is enough to send you spiraling. But
hold on. Remember those ten habits we just talked about
this week. Try incorporating even just a few of them
into your routine. Take a quick walk during your lunch break,

(05:02):
Swap that sugary coffee for a calming herbal tea, and
practice some deep breathing exercises before tackling that mountain of emails.
You might be surprised at how much calmer you feel
by simply making small but conscious changes and deck. So
there you have it. Ten simple habits to reduce anxiety

(05:23):
and reclaim your peace of mind. Remember this isn't about
being perfect. It's about progress, not perfection. Start small, celebrate
your wins, and keep moving forward one step at a time,
and don't forget you're not alone on this journey. Share
