Defeating Anxiety
The other day I spoke to a young man who struggles with anxiety.
I think this is not such a rare problem these days.
It’s not that youth actually have more to be worried about; but it is that these things are in their face all of the time.
I gave this man 3 pieces of valuable advice that I want to share with you to share with someone you care about.
1. Try to limit the time on social media, news and other bad news pedlars. As I Have already alluded too, things aren’t actually any worse that they’ve ever been. In fact, we probably live in one of the safest and most abundant times in history. The difference is that the media outlets have made fear mongering an art form, and our youth are the victims of it.
2. Focus on the future, on the blessings and on what you want more of. What’s wrong is always available; but so is what’s right! And we get more of what we focus on!
3. Purpose and productivity help vanquish anxiety. When I feel anxious, I take massive action towards my mission and goals and it helps me feel confident again. I urged this young man to do the same…
And I also shared with him a simple truth.
Everyone feels anxious sometimes. Everyone feels fear sometimes.
Heck, the term “imposter syndrome” didn’t even exist when I was young; we just called that fear too.
But everyone deals with it.
The difference between those that excel and those that are paralyzed comes from what they do about it.
Winners charge into fear, take massive action and create confidence and results from that action.
It’s not that they’re aren’t afraid. It’s that they saddle up anyway.
And, over time, their confidence outweighs their fear- at least in that area.
Helping people defeat fear and create confidence is one of our forte here at Krav Maga Martial Arts.
