Summary: In this episode I talk to Megan Gallagher about her experience with anxiety. She talks about how she suffered with anxiety as a teenager and many of the things that helped her overcome it. From ages 6-17, Megan struggled severely with chronic anticipatory anxiety and panic attacks. She craved a place where she could go and feel heard and seen for her struggles. After starting therapy at 13 years old, she began down the path of journaling, EFT tapping, meditation, exercising regularly, establishing morning/nighttime routines and seeing therapists. Now, at 23, she is the role model that she always wanted to be for others. After starting her business at 20 years old, she went to toastmaster public speaking meetings, started a blog, made a Youtube channel and spoke for free at every YMCA and Boys&Girls Club she could find! After three years of hard work, things took off! She landed a TEDx talk and currently travels the Country and speaks at Middle Schools and High Schools about anxiety, loving yourself and being your own advocate in life. She believes that our pain is our purpose and hopes to inspire the younger generation by sharing her story.

Summary: This fable really speaks to being patient and being balanced which I think is really important at this time. Day by day. Keeping positive. Doing what we can. Investing in ourselves. Not getting to high on hope or to low in despair. Not focusing too far into the future. -——————————————— A farmer had only one horse. One day, his horse ran away. His neighbors said, “I’m so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.” The man just said, “We’ll see.” A few days later, his horse came back with twenty wild horses following. The man and his son corralled all twenty-one horses. His neighbors said, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!” The man just said, “We’ll see.” One of the wild horses kicked the man’s only son, breaking both his legs. His neighbors said, “I’m so sorry. This is such bad news. You must be so upset.” The man just said, “We’ll see.” The country went to war, and every able-bodied young man was drafted to fight. The war was terrible and killed every young man, but the farmer’s son was spared, since his broken legs prevented him from being drafted. His neighbors said, “Congratulations! This is such good news. You must be so happy!” The man just said, “We’ll see.” Links:  Get The Anxiety Journal here: http://www.timjpcollins.com/journal/ Become an Anxiety Podcast supporter: https://patreon.com/anxietypodcast Subscribe to my Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/timjpcollins?sub_confirmation=1 To get my Toolkit to Overcome Anxiety go to - http://timjpcollins.com/free Please click here to leave a review -http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1031117023 Join the Less Anxiety More Life community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/lessanxietymorelife/

Summary: In this episode Clint Malarchuk shares some truly amazing stories about his life.   Malarchuk is best known for having survived a life-threatening injury during a 1989 NHL game when another player's skate blade sliced his carotid artery and jugular vein, causing immediate massive blood loss. We discuss his time as an NHL goaltender, how he nearly died 3 times and how he suffered from Anxiety, depression and OCD.  Clint's story is massively courageous and today he speaks publicly about his struggle for the benefit of others. No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating and as stress-ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. Standing in the crease facing one-hundred-mile-an-hour slapshots, the entire game riding on your glove hand, standing on your head when necessary-all job requirements for those wanting to be the best goalies in the world. Now imagine doing that job while suffering high anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder, and having your career nearly literally cut short by a skate across your neck. The Crazy Game takes you deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, Washington Capitals and Buffalo Sabres. Even as a boy, Malarchuk faced such deep anxiety that he missed school and acted out at school and with his friends. His OCD changed the way he trained, and he was almost always the last player off the ice. When his throat was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head.

Summary:  In this episode, I talk about how we can use exposure and disclosure as part of our recovery from anxiety.  By leaning into fear and not feeling the pressure to keep it locked down we can begin to release its grip.

Summary:  In this episode I talk about how typically all our needs are met.  I believe this ties into anxiety in a big way as we're often focused on what we don't have instead of what we do have. Links: Get my End Anxiety Tool Kit here: http://timjpcollins.com/free Please click here to leave a review: http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1031117023 Here is a link to the Leo Babauta article:  http://zenhabits.net/tsukubai/ Here is the link to the Mark Manson article: https://markmanson.net/everything-you-need In this particular episode you will learn: - Things in life will come and go but it's important to believe that things will work out in the end - If you lost everything today and had to start again you'd actually be ok - It's not the people or objects in life that make you happy, only you can do that - We are often looking externally for a solution but it's actually within us - How our needs are met with food, water, people and shelter etc - Why a gratitude practice is so important - Do we really need all the stuff we consume  Here are the rituals from the Leo Babauta article:  Wake up and say a little prayer of thanks for what you have in your life. Keep a one-paragraph gratitude journal every evening. When you meet someone, bow to them (in your mind) out of respect. You might touch your heart or offer them a smile if that helps. When you eat, say a little prayer of thanks to everyone who made your meal possible (farmers, cooks, transporters, their families, etc.). Appreciate every bite if you can. Before you start a new activity (a work task, a workout, a meeting), pause and ask yourself what your intention is for this activity. Is it focused on helping others? When you are done with an activity, show respect for others, your environment and your equipment by respectfully and mindfully cleaning up, instead of rushing to the next activity.

Summary: In this episode I talk about what it means to hold space for someone. I share some insights from a recent meeting I had with a friend, and give you some tips on how you can hold space for someone yourself.

Summary: In this episode I speak to Dave Asprey from Bulletproof.  We discuss diet, coffee and controlling your biology to stop anxiety. Dave Asprey, founder of Bulletproof and author of New York Times bestseller The Bulletproof Diet, is a Silicon Valley investor and technology entrepreneur who spent two decades and over $300,000 to hack his own biology. Dave lost 100 pounds without counting calories or excessive exercise, used techniques to upgrade his brain to an IQ over 150, and lowered his biological age while learning to sleep more efficiently in less time. Learning to do these seemingly impossible things transformed him into a better entrepreneur, a better husband, and a better father. Dave is the creator of the widely popular Bulletproof Coffee, host of the #1 health podcast, Bulletproof Radio, and author of the New York Times bestselling book, The Bulletproof Diet.   Through his work Dave provides information, techniques and keys to taking control of and improving your biochemistry, your body and your mind so they work in unison, helping you execute at levels far beyond what you’d expect, without burning out, getting sick, or allowing stress to control your decisions.

Summary:  In this episode I talk about the 3 C's and how you can start using them today. What do I do when my Anxiety Shows up? Curiosity, Courage & Compassion.  Do the 3 C's Write the 3 c's on your hand in the morning when your doing your journaling as a reminder.   It's essentially how I ask people to respond to anxiety when it shows up.  CURIOSITY  i.e. what's the message here ? Am I safe ? I wonder why it's here ? This engages your pre frontal cortex.  Anxiety is kicked off by your croc brain (amygdala) and this allows us to pattern interrupt and bring a question to the table.   This breaks the fear cycle. COURAGE   Be prepared to feel the feelings and be uncomfortable until it passes.  Get to know your anxiety, embrace it.  COMPASSION Anxiety sufferers are amazing at beating the shit out of themselves with guilt, shame, worry and embarrassment. Realize it's not your fault, be gentle on yourself.  And let it pass.

Summary: This week we chat with Robert Whitaker about the myths and science behind psychiatric drugs. Robert is the author of five books. In 2010, his Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness won the U.S. Investigative Reporters and Editors book award for best investigative journalism. Prior to writing books, he worked as a science reporter at the Albany Times Union newspaper in New York for a number of years.

(23:51) "I don’t know any other area of medicine where you can say ‘you have this problem’ when you don’t have it.” (26:00) “Every day you are taking a pill that says you are not quite right.

Summary: In this episode I outline some of the key takeaways from being present last weekend at the retreat. I also share a poem which really resonated with me this week. Here is the poem: The Guest House This being human is a guest house. Every morning a new arrival. A joy, a depression, a meanness, some momentary awareness comes As an unexpected visitor. Welcome and entertain them all! Even if they’re a crowd of sorrows, who violently sweep your house empty of its furniture, still treat each guest honorably. He may be clearing you out for some new delight. The dark thought, the shame, the malice, meet them at the door laughing and invite them in. Be grateful for whoever comes, because each has been sent as a guide from beyond. — Jalaluddin Rumi, translation by Coleman Barks Links:  Get The Anxiety Journal here: http://www.timjpcollins.com/journal/ Become an Anxiety Podcast supporter: https://patreon.com/anxietypodcast Subscribe to my Youtube Channel: https://youtube.com/timjpcollins?sub_confirmation=1 To get my Toolkit to Overcome Anxiety go to - http://timjpcollins.com/free Please click here to leave a review -http://getpodcast.reviews/id/1031117023 Join the Less Anxiety More Life community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/lessanxietymorelife/

Summary: In this episode I discuss how being flexible can help us be less anxious. When we optimize and set up routines this keeps us confined and doesn’t allow us to change plans and adapt. This episode was inspired in part by this article from zenhabits.net "If your life is optimized, it’s easy to break. To give you another example … let’s say you have an optimized sleep routine. It’s amazing, and you get great sleep this way! But then you have to fumigate your house, so you have to sleep at a relative’s house. Your entire optimized routine is thrown off, so you get horrible sleep for a few days. Then you try to optimize your sleep for travel, getting a great setup for sleeping on the plane and trains. Then your favorite sleep mask, ear plugs (or noise-canceling headphones) and travel pillow get stolen. No sleep! The most optimized thing to do, then, is to not optimize — get good at dealing with everything, from sleeping on trains without any kind of setup to sleeping on the ground. Unoptimize your life by getting good at dealing with unoptimal situations. Throw randomized craziness into your life. Forget about optimizing, and learn flexibility, learn to deal, learn to let go, learn to adapt."

Summary: In this episode I relate to how we often won't have all the answers before taking action.  And that we can't have a safety net in life.

Summary: This week I chat with Justine regarding her amazing recover from a traumatic brain injury.  She talks about how she really used writing as a way to rebuild her confidence. Written by Justine: In 1990 (I was 19 and living in San Diego with my husband of three months) my car was hit by a city bus as I was driving home from work – I sustained a severe brain injury, I was resuscitated, in a coma, paralyzed, and the doctors thought I wouldn’t recover. Within a few months I was walking again and my husband and I moved to Iowa where we started our family of 7 kids (doctors also told us we would never have kids after my crash). After we moved I began writing to cope with my severe PTSD, and I began my story about Alexander the Great a few years later. In the mid 2000s I started college part-time – with my first course being world religions, which helped me understand Alexander’s motivations and was also therapeutic for my mind (I've felt that learning has been calming). I had become interested in Alexander’s story in the mid '90s after watching a documentary about him because I identified so much with his persistence and perseverance. I kept researching until I was able to integrate his soul into the story I had been working on. I continued college, earned my BLS from The University of Iowa, and I’m now working on a Master’s Degree in Literature through Northern Arizona University.

Summary: This week we chat with singer/songwriter, Leeroy Stagger about his latest album, Love Versus. We get into talking about everything from Buddhism, to alcoholism, to self-love.  "Born in Victoria, British Columbia and raised on a little island on the very west coast of Canada, Stagger spent most of his youth with his grandparents who exposed him to the world of country music. Having collaborated with one of his icons, Danny Michel, Stagger found commercial success in the song, "Just in Case", which was featured twice on the television hit, Grey's Anatomy. The life of being on the road and touring at a fast pace did not wear easily on Stagger, who at age 26, realized he had an alcohol problem that was affecting his ability to perform with the commitment and heart his songs demanded. Clean and sober since, Stagger has a strong desire to inspire young musicians that they do not have to succumb to the pitfalls of substance abuse, which can be prevalent in a musician's touring lifestyle."  Check out his album here: https://www.leeroystagger.com/ In this episode you will learn: Leeroy’s formative years for his music Started drinking in his early teens How Leeroy faced his past The music industry drinking culture It took a long time for Leeroy to fully get comfortable on stage When did Leeroy start playing music?

Do you remember the week leading up to the event? You were not there, but it also appeared that I was not there either. My emotions appeared to be non-existent. No excitement, no nervousness, not a thing. I assumed it may be a new way of thinking or a found stoicism. As it turns out, it was not. It was the calm before the storm. Or, was I in the eye of the storm? Said ‘see you later’ to my small family, packed my luggage and then I felt a drop. Maybe it was just the dew from a nearby tree. You know how trees can be, rooted with tears at times. I had a hard time sleeping that night. It was time to wake up and catch my flight. Everyone was there and buzzing to go to the east coast. The magnificent Atlantic Ocean is near. I never realized you lived there too. Everything was great till we passed the arrivals gate to baggage. There … you appeared, arms wide open to take me in. Anxiety, you never seize to amaze me how you just pop up out of nowhere. There were dark clouds forming in the distance. I did everything I could to get you off my mind while you sat there taunting my thoughts. I breathed deep and smiled, engaged in conversations about tomorrow plans, got ready to go out and meet the rest of the community. “Why bother going to the pub when you know everyone is going to make fun of you anyway” you can smell the electricity of lightening in the distance. Where did that come from? You side blinded me with a negative conversation starter which I had a really hard time coming back from. I couldn’t sleep. Three days of trying to engage with people and acknowledge my friends with enthusiasm and empathy. Three days of fidgeting and on the edge of breaking down because you said ‘why bother’. The winds blew hard, the rain came at the right moments, and my tears were hidden away in bathroom stalls and showers. Your fear of me being independent and happy has caused me to brace a storm I was not fully prepared for, you knew that. Your trees falling has made me dodge my confidence that I too , can be happy. Your crashing of thunder made me question who I am and where I am in my life. At a time where a storm never needed to be. You brought heavy rains of doubt. Why? Why would you do that to me … to anyone? I remember you being so cool. You would make me question if I should run away from that dog, if I must cross the street to avoid bullys, and you saved me after saying no to going to a party because of a gut feeling. Why can’t we have that cool feeling anymore, where did we go wrong? Why do you bring storms? I saw that storm you brought to my friend. Lucky for them I had tools to shelter the winds and rain you brought in. Just because you can take me down, doesn’t mean I’ll allow you to bring someone else down. I hope we can once again be friends and get over this disagreement we have. Please give me space to clean the mess of this storm you brought upon me and we can talk about the future.

Summary: This week we talk to Dr. Jessica Cooperman, a psychologist at Markham Stouffville Hospital (Ontario, Canada). Together with a team of skilled clinicians and educators, Dr. Cooperman founded ATLAS: Adolescent Teaching and Learning Alternative Services. ATLAS works with kids and teens suffering with depression and anxiety and offers teens support and a safe space to cope with their stress.  ATLAS is a hospital program addressing the unique needs of teenagers struggling with anxiety and/or depression so severe that it is impairing their school attendance and functioning. The goal of the program is to provide students with the tools for a successful school re-entry and the resumption of a healthier, more fulfilling life where anxiety and sad mood no longer control behaviour.

Summary:  In this episode I talk about how typically all our needs are met.  I believe this ties into anxiety in a big way as we're often focused on what we don't have instead of what we do have.

Keep a one-paragraph gratitude journal every evening. When you meet someone, bow to them (in your mind) out of respect. You might touch your heart or offer them a smile if that helps. When you eat, say a little prayer of thanks to everyone who made your meal possible (farmers, cooks, transporters, their families, etc.). Appreciate every bite if you can. Before you start a new activity (a work task, a workout, a meeting), pause and ask yourself what your intention is for this activity. Is it focused on helping others? When you are done with an activity, show respect for others, your environment and your equipment by respectfully and mindfully cleaning up, instead of rushing to the next activity.

Summary: In this episode I speak to Ryan Light about his experience with Anxiety.  We discuss some of his specific struggles with OCD and then talk about some of the things he's found to be most useful in his recovery.   Links: Ryan's site: http://realrunryan.com/ In this particular episode you will learn: - About Ryan's own experience with anxiety - How in running Ryan found an outlet to share his struggles - How sharing our vulnerabilities takes the pressure off of having to maintain secrets Ryan's 6 Strategies For Instant Anxiety Relief 1. Exercise It has been scientifically proven that inactivity makes the body susceptible to anxiety. In the words of an old maxim, inactivity breeds fear. So move around. Not only does exercise chase away anxiety, it also releases body chemicals and hormones that contribute to relaxation. If you cannot access a gym or another appropriate place for exercise, then jog on the spot, and watch the anxiety pangs subside. Read my article on how running can help with OCD and other anxiety disorders. 2. Distract Your Senses Constantly brooding on your predicament or whatever is causing you anxiety is certainly no remedy to anxiety. Think about other things. Read a novel. Talk to friends or family. Go out of your way to help somebody else. Just don’t occupy all your waking hours with thoughts about how anxious you are or how much you are dreading an event. Thinking too much about a problem actually magnifies it, especially if you are looking at it from a fearful angle. Another quote holds here: Nothing minimizes your adversities like ignoring them! 3. Eat More Magnesium There is scientific evidence that magnesium does help in keeping anxiety at bay. Magnesium is a naturally occurring vitamin. This means that you should eat more foods rich in magnesium. These foods include dark green vegetables, milk products and fruits. However, if you are experiencing too much anxiety, you might want to ask your doctor for magnesium supplements. This is because naturally occurring vitamins normally occur in scanty quantities, which might not give you much help. You should however be cautious about those who claim to have instant foods or herbs that can reduce anxiety, especially if not backed by scientific proof, which is almost always lacking in most cases. 4. Have An Anxiety Disaster Plan Anxiety might attack without warning, so it is wise to have a tried- and- tested plan in case of unwarranted attacks. Look for things that uplift you when you are at the verge of falling in to pieces. Is it a song? A comical magazine? A friend who when you talk to, you feel that things will actually work out? A role model who boosts you confidence when you really need someone who believes in you? Or is it an inspiring story that you can identify with? Keep these things on speed dial, and reach for them when you feel the waves of anxiety closing in on you. 5. Keep A Journal Take time to write down whatever it is that is bothering you. You will be surprised at how much help that can be. When you write issues down, you might get solutions to them or a different angle of approaching them. This certainly is a relief to your troubled mind, much better than having dreadful thoughts constantly swirling in your brain. Order does bring calm. Moreover, when you write issues down, it gives your brain security that your thoughts are safely stored and frees up your mind to think about other things. 6. In The End All in all, it is important to accept that anxiety can bring us down, but more importantly, that the power to overcome it lies within us. So relax. It might seem insurmountable now, but rest assured that it is not beyond your power. And also, remember that keeping busy might do wonders for you in overcoming anxiety… it will conveniently help your brain forget about the looming problem, which is of great advantage to you. Also remember that you are not alone in combating anxiety, and that others are willing to help you in the battle.

Summary: In this episode I speak to Sean Croxton about his experience with anxiety. We also get into a discussion around mindset, shifting the paradigm and being polarizing amongst other things Seans Bio (written by Sean): I am SUCH a nerd. I like to hang around my house and read books. In fact, I order them much faster than I can consume them. Thanks, Amazon… I happened to like reading so much that I thought it would be a good idea to start interviewing the authors. That’s when I launched my first podcast, Underground Wellness Radio, way back in 2008, when no one really knew what a podcast was. Oh, wait. The podcast came second. In 2007, I launched a YouTube channel about health. Basically, I took really complicated matters of health and made them easy for my viewers to understand. It was an instant hit. Probably, in part, because there weren’t many health channels on YouTube back then. But also because I brought some “edu-tainment” to a space dominated by jargon the average person couldn’t quite understand. Anyway, back to the podcast. Underground Wellness Radio ran for 7 years, with 348 episodes about all things real food and functional medicine, with a sprinkle of personal development on the side. In late 2015, I decided to close up shop at Underground Wellness. It was time for something new — to turn things upside down, to talk and write about personal development with a sprinkle of health on the side. At the time of this writing, my new podcast, The Sessions with Sean Croxton, has just debuted. Back to the beginning. I’m excited for what’s to come. http://seancroxton.com/ In this particular episode you will learn: - How Sean got started in business, on youtube and podcasting - How Sean was always quiet and had to build up the courage to talk to people when suffering with social anxiety - How Sean had his first panic attack while doing some personal training - What Sean's experience was like with medication - How the social anxiety isn't completely gone and Sean's ok with that - What Sean's motivational influences were - How we have the power to choose what we're going to accept and reject - You're either moving forwards or moving backwards, there is no standing still - How Sean went through a paradigm shift - "In order to change your life, you have to change yourself" - How to be unapologetically you

Summary:  In this episode I will answer a listeners question. This weeks question:  How do I establish a gratitude practice?

Summary:  In this episode I talk about the 3 C's and how you can start using them today. What do I do when my Anxiety Shows up? Curiosity, Courage & Compassion.  Do the 3 C's Write the 3 c's on your hand in the morning when your doing your journaling as a reminder.   It's essentially how I ask people to respond to anxiety when it shows up.  CURIOSITY  i.e. what's the message here ? Am I safe ? I wonder why it's here ? This engages your pre frontal cortex.  Anxiety is kicked off by your croc brain (amygdala) and this allows us to pattern interrupt and bring a question to the table.   This breaks the fear cycle. COURAGE   Be prepared to feel the feelings and be uncomfortable until it passes.  Get to know your anxiety, embrace it.  COMPASSION Anxiety sufferers are amazing at beating the shit out of themselves with guilt, shame, worry and embarrassment. Realize it's not your fault, be gentle on yourself.  And let it pass.

Summary:  In this episode I will answer a listeners question.  This weeks question from Ian is:  "Before I draft a resignation letter and run off and do what inspires me (don't know what that is yet), how can we coach people to find the more positive aspects of their current job, and design their work day to be the best.  Perhaps there are ways for people to pull more fulfillment, more joy, out of their current jobs, and tips on how to minimize anxiety and stress.  Personally my career isn't satisfying, but I'm not about to quit what is a very good position with a very good company.  But I do need to be more grateful for it, and to derive greater satisfaction.    I know my job makes me anxious, and all the jobs I've had, have made me anxious. How can we reduce that anxiety?"

Summary: In this episode I talk to Captain Tom Bunn about how he has helped people to be less anxious when flying. Captain Tom Bunn, a retired airline captain and licensed therapist, is founder of SOAR, Inc.He has helped over 7,000 people overcome difficulty with flying. His book, "SOAR: The Breakthrough Treatment for Fear of Flying" was chosen Amazon editors' 2014 favorite book. Captain Bunn was part of the first fear of flying program, which was started at Pan Am in 1975 by Captain Truman Cummings. Though the Pan Am course was helpful for many, it did not help those subject to claustrophobia or to panic. He founded SOAR in 1982 to offer more effective help, and develop a therapy that has made it possible for everyone to fly. In this particular episode you will learn: - How linking flying to memories can be beneficial - How oxytocin can be useful to quieten the amygdala - What the vagus nerve does - How you can think of a calm friend to keep us grounded - When we make a decision we chill out because the amygdala stops sending stress hormones - When we are in control we are OK - This is why choosing to embrace Anxiety is so important because we are empowering ourselves - How you can tap into a "flow state" - How alcohol and medication can affect us when flying Captain Tom's Top 10 Tips: Tip Number One - The 5-4-3-2-1 Exercise This is nothing more than a focusing exercise, something to intensely occupy your mind so disturbing thoughts can't take hold. Prove to yourself that you have the means to control anticipatory anxiety. Start by doing the 5-4-3-2-1 every fifteen minutes. Then every hour. Then, whenever you feel the need. If you are not troubled by panic, this exercise can (though it is a lot of work) get you through a flight. If you suffer from panic, you will need one of the SOAR courses to establish control that works automatically. Sit or recline comfortably. Focus on some object in front of you. Keep your focus on that throughout the exercise. (If you eyes drift off, just bring them back.) Do it out loud first. Then, try it silently. See if one works better for you than the other. Say "I see" and name something in your peripheral vision. Say "I see" and name something else in your peripheral vision. Continue until you have made five statements. For example: I see the lamp, I see the table, I see a spot on the lamp shade, I see a book on the table, I see a picture on the table. Say "I hear" and name something you hear. Say "I hear" and name something else you hear. Continue until you have made five statements. (Repeat something if there are not five different things you can hear.) Say "I feel" and name something you feel. (not internal, like heart pounding or tension, but external). Say "I feel" and name something else you feel. Continue until you have made five statements. For example: I feel the chair under me, I feel my arm against my leg, etc. That completes one cycle. It takes intense concentration. That is exactly what you want. As you concentrate on non-threatening things, the "fight or flight" hormones that were in your body when you started the exercise get burned off. As they get used up, you get more relaxed. See, you don't have to MAKE yourself relax; as the old ones get used up, you just get more relaxed. What about the next cycle? If you always made five statements, you soon could do the exercise WITHOUT intense concentration, and your mind could drift back to "bad" thoughts. We keep concentration intense by making one change each cycle. Instead of doing five statements again, do four statements. Then, in the next cycle, do three statements. Then, in the next cycle, do two statements. Then, in the next cycle, do one statement. Then, in the next cycle, go back to five, etc. Stop when you are as relaxed as you want to be. If you want to be more relaxed - or to fall asleep - continue. If you lose count, that is a good sign because it means you are getting so relaxed that you are losing count. Tip Number Two - Avoid Imagination And Manage Your Stress Level During the flight, focus on what is really happening - NOT what you imagine. Why? What is real is not going to cause anxiety. When you think something may be happening, ask yourself if you have any real proof of that. Feelings are hard to ignore when they get big. Manage them by tracking your anxiety level on a scale or zero to ten. Take along something to write on. Write down your feelings and thoughts. Dumping thoughts and feelings out onto paper helps prevent build-up. Tip Number Three - First Time Anxiety "First time anxiety" is to be expected. Anything for the first time leads to anxiety. We pilots would not be doing this job unless it was safe. And, insurance companies are no fools; they sell pilots insurance at the same rates as non-pilots. Tip Number Four - Avoid Imagination Keep the "visual channel" of your mind fully occupied with something concrete to keep imagination from gaining a foothold. Buy several magazines with splashy color pictures. Just flip through the pictures to keep the "visual" part of your mind busy. This is a great time to focus on needlepoint or puzzles, if you like those activities. Or bring a DVD player, or a video game. Still bring magazines; you are not allowed to use the DVD player or video game during takeoff or landing. Tip Number Five - Music Filters Out Plane Noises Keep the "auditory channel" of your mind occupied. Bring along an audio player with plenty of music. You play one when you arrive at the airport, another when you are waiting to board. Then, after boarding, I tell you everything to expect on takeoff (the noises the plane makes are included). Then during cruise, I tell you why turbulence is not a problem. And before landing, you hear about everything to expect during landing. It's like having your own pilot with you. Tip Number Six - Make It Your Choice Take back control. Be very aware that - even if pressured to fly - you still have a CHOICE whether you fly or not. Make that choice - versus whatever the alternatives are - a conscious and deliberate choice. Take still more control. Before you board, go to the window. MEMORIZE VISUALLY what is outside the jet-way and outside the airplane. Use your photographic memory to record in detail what you see. Then, when walking through the jet-way, visualizing what is outside helps reassure you that there IS an outside and the walls are not able to pressure you. Tip Number Seven - Meet The Captain This is so important it is equal to all the other tips combined. If you don't do this one, you only have yourself to blame for an awful flight, because it works. Tell the gate agent you need to board early because you are an anxious flier and need to speak to the captain. Some gate agents will help you do this and some won't. If the agent will, stay nearby so the agent doesn't forget you. If the gate agent will not board you early, ask the agent to point out to you where you will be getting on the plane. Then position yourself right by the entrance. When boarding (for first class passengers, elderly passengers, passengers with kids, or people who need extra time - that's you) is announced, immediately step forward and board. Don't go to your seat. Instead, find a flight attendant who is not tied up directing people to their seats. Tell the flight attendant that you are an anxious flier and are working on it with someone who says it is very important that you meet the captain. Explain that you understand about security, so you want him/her to ask the captain for you, while you wait right there. DO NOT APPROACH THE COCKPIT ON YOUR OWN. WAIT FOR A FLIGHT ATTENDANT. EVEN IF THE CAPTAIN OR FLIGHT ATTENDANT SIGNAL YOU TO COME IN, A SKY MARSHALL SEATED TO THE SIDE MIGHT NOT SEE THAT. WAIT TO BE ACCOMPANIED. Meeting the captain keeps you from feeling alone. It also puts you in personal contact with control. You will sense their competence and confident. It helps to know they - also - want to get back home to their family, and they have been doing so for years. They will make extra announcements for you. Embarrassing? Blame it on me; tell them I made you promise to do it. Tip Number Eight - Your Space Take some more control. Stretch out your arms and and legs, to sense the physical space that is yours. What about visual space? An aisle seat can give you more VISUAL space. Many find visual space more important than physical space. If you find yourself having breathing difficulty, hold your breath for one- thousand-one, one-thousand-two, one-thousand-three at the end of each exhalation and at the end of each inhalation. Tip Number Nine - Know About Noise Abatement On some takeoffs, we reduce power after reaching about one thousand feet (roughly twenty-five seconds after liftoff), which can be frightening if you don't know what it's all about. Ask the captain when you meet him or her if the power will be changed significantly after take off, and ask how it will feel. Tip Number Ten - Lightheadedness Doesn't Mean Falling Expect and understand the physical sensations that are a natural and routine part of flight. Imagine this: you get in an elevator on the ground floor, and press the button for the tenth floor. The door closes, and as the elevator starts to rise, you feel heavy. As the elevator approaches the tenth floor, it has to slow down and stop. As it does, you feel "light- headed." In an elevator you know what the feeling is about. You are just slowing down your ascent. Though this feels like falling, you aren't falling at all. The same thing happens in an airplane when we level off after a climb, or when we reduce power after takeoff.

Summary: In this episode I talk about how pain provides the opportunity for growth and why discomfort is a good thing.

The signs were there from a young age, when Zander ran a newspaper with his brother and cousins. What pulled him away from his love? Who knows? Social pressure? Failure of vision? Experiencing vulnerability in a business mastermind group for the first time ultimately led him back to his passion.

Malarchuk is best known for having survived a life-threatening injury during a 1989 NHL game when another player's skate blade sliced his carotid artery and jugular vein, causing immediate massive blood loss. We discuss his time as an NHL goaltender, how he nearly died 3 times and how he suffered from Anxiety, depression and OCD. Clint's story is massively courageous and today he speaks publicly about his struggle for the benefit of others. No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating and as stress-ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. Standing in the crease facing one-hundred-mile-an-hour slapshots, the entire game riding on your glove hand, standing on your head when necessary-all job requirements for those wanting to be the best goalies in the world. Now imagine doing that job while suffering high anxiety, depression and obsessive compulsive disorder, and having your career nearly literally cut short by a skate across your neck. The Crazy Game takes you deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, Washington Capitals and Buffalo Sabres. Even as a boy, Malarchuk faced such deep anxiety that he missed school and acted out at school and with his friends. His OCD changed the way he trained, and he was almost always the last player off the ice. When his throat was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head.

Summary: In this episode I talk to Philip McKernan about Intuition, Courage and the search for the truth.   We discuss not making the journey all about you and looking into your story for the answers. Coaching some of the North America's most successful entrepreneurs and sharing the stage with the likes of Richard Branson, Philip is taking the entrepreneur world by storm. What separates Philip from a lot of coaches, speakers and gurus is originality.
