Follow for tips to conquer fear and become your best self.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

I didn't beat anxiety by becoming unshakeable.

I beat it by leaving the house on a normal Tuesday and noticing it stayed normal.

By sitting through the meeting and forgetting to check my heart rate.

If your life looks fine outside but feels heavy inside,
you don't need a new way to think.

You need a body that takes less convincing.

I didn't find calm in a 47-step morning protocol.

I found it in a routine with two parts: what I ate, and how I breathed.

Food keeps the baseline steady. Breath turns the spikes down.

That repetition is what made the calm stick.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

I used to think the answer was arguing with the alarm after it started ringing.

You can't outthink a body in panic.

But the nervous system has an off switch. Long, slow, deliberate breath reaches it without your thoughts cooperating.

It's the one thing that always works.

Tryptophan is the least abundant amino acid in food.

It competes with five others for the same transporter. Eat heavy and tyrosine, leucine, and valine crowd the door.

Low tryptophan = low serotonin.

Your breakfast isn't just fuel. It's raw material your calm is built from.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

I spent ten years trying to think my way out of anxiety.

"Just be positive."

The thinking got very good at explaining itself. The feeling stayed exactly where it was.

Then I changed what I ate and the anxiety changed too. It was never only in my head.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@Jasonhan110 @PathOfMen_ But it always a lack of trust in yourself to handle whatever is coming.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@ocdrecovery But in order to do so you must learn to not fight those feelings.

If you do they will fight back and stay.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

Fear was never the enemy. The story I told about the fear was.

The racing heart on its own is just data. The moment I called it "losing control," it became a threat.

Change the story and the same sensation becomes something you can sit through.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@CoachThisath Both!
Gut health is highly underrated when talking about anxiety.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

Your gut and your anxiety are the same conversation in different languages.

When you get anxious, your stomach drops. When your stomach is off, you get anxious. Gut triggers brain. Brain triggers gut. Neither calms down until the other does first.

It's a biological stalemate.

@WarSageX I just yesterday read that stipulating the prefrontal cortex makes you more honest. But being more honest can also stimulate your prefrontal cortex thus making you better at regulating your mood.

@SahilBloom The people who are able to slow down on purpose will be the happiest in the future!

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@Zenfrog4 Been doing it for a few weeks now and do not feel any different…

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@sutevskid Your mind is trying to make sense of what you are feeling.

Actually feeling what you are feeling is the fastest way out.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@AntifragileLGV Your happiness and social media consumption are directly correlated.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@iamlaurahanna Yes, Laura!

Trying to make light of the situation is the way to go.

Ask yourself this: What is the next step I can take to enjoy this and have fun.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@myselfcoaching1 I agree with you although at some point it becomes hard to find situations that threaten your livelihood.

But if that is what you are scared of, money wont change that.

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@drgurner @itsthewealth4me What is the best way to improve it in your opinion?

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@thriveminds1 How do you know you sleep enough?

[Julius @JuliusNotes]

@PaulNHughes One key aspect of overcoming your anxiety is change the relationship you have with it.

Is it uncomfortable: Yes!

But it usually just a sign that you care about something. That something is important to you. Thats is.

Dont become scared of the sensations!
