The polarization of thoughts. We just can't win against the negative emotion. The competition of behaviours and the fight, where does it end? If we don't win we lose? If we're not happy does that mean we're doing something wrong? Let's talk about negative emotions and answer our friends question.

A simple "meditation" to simply take a break from your day and sit in the middle of it. Notice and become aware of yourself in your surroundings. Would you drive through a beautiful landscape with the windows covered? We so often rush through a day and don't stop to experience the happenings of the moment. The sensations, the smells, temperatures, tastes, textures. Let's take a quick break together, right now.  Free anxiety video series: https://www.scottstemarie.com/conqueranxiety

I'd like to tell you what depression feels like in my own personal experience. If you need to tell someone how you're feeling, this is definitely a definition of depression they haven't heard before. Obviously, feelings are so hard to describe, which is exactly why art, music and poetry exist. If you resonate with this definition, my heart and soul goes out to you. You are unbelievably strong and we're all rooting for you.  Watch my free 6-part video series about how I overcame anxiety and depression: https://www.conqueranxietycourse.com

Mikhaila Peterson was the first person that truly made me question my own eating habits and how this could be contributing to depression.

We're locking the wrong ones up! The insane people aren't the ones talking to themselves on the streets. Insanity is far more removed from reality than that. Welcome to the insanity series, part one. Remember, I'm not judging the person, I'm judging the decision. Let's have some fun, eh!

We didn't evolve as a species to feel happiness. All your self help gurus are lying to you (while making bank!) We are built to survive, this is the meaning of life. If you want to be happy though, you have to do the work. As for me and those prone to depression or anxiety, I have to and had to do a lot of work and it was all worth it.     As mentioned in this episode, if you're ready to do the work and build that mental muscle and threshold for negative emotion, here's the waitlist for the Conquer Anxiety Program: https://www.conqueranxietycourse.com   Want to chat with me 1-1? https://www.conqueranxietywithscott.com

Before starting Depression to Expression, I worked for a few large social media companies as I mentioned in this episode. I would argue, as many experts would, that social media is one of the main causes of the increase in depression, anxiety, self harm and eating disorders worldwide. From a personal note, I'm taking a break until March from social media but will most likely continue to stay away from it as my mind is so unbelievably clear and simple moments in life are just more beautiful than a phone. You see my friends, moments unfold only for me and those around me, without the obligation to be shared. Think about why you are on social media and whether your consumption is outweighing your creative expression.

I bet that you have really high expectations of yourself, others, and your life in general. Am I right? Well the truth is that it's a really good thing! However... We can get so consumed by the thought of the future (that's all the future is, a thought) that we rush through and push away 99% of what life truly is. Here is a refreshing and simple perspective on how to stop overthinking this whole life thing. It's all about the small stuff.

When will I get over this? How long will it take? Will it last forever? This is a question we have all asked, so let's answer it together. Chat with me 1-1: https://www.conqueranxietywithscott.com

There are times where we need gentleness and reassurance, rather than raw motivation. Just remember my friends, it's a feeling. Feelings evolve and change as its a simple law of being human. When the world seems heavy and against you, the last thing you need is to feel shame and guilt. You did nothing wrong and it's okay to feel what you feel right now. Let it come, let it pass. You're going to be okay.   Talk To Me: https://www.conqueranxietywithscott.com
