Description

Over 40 million Americans are affected by anxiety - that's around 20% of the population. Whether it's relationship anxiety, workplace anxiety, social media anxiety or general anxiety, it has the power to zap your quality of life. So, what can we do about it? According to empowerment strategist, fitness expert, author and podcast host JJ Flizanes, we've been dealing with it all wrong. Pharmaceuticals are not the solution. The first step to overcoming anxiety is to transform how we think about it. We go through hundreds of emotions every single day. Unless these are properly processed, they remain stuck in the body, eventually creating discomfort, disease, and, you guessed it, anxiety. Anxiety is basically the body's way of telling you something needs to be addressed. Seeing anxiety this way means that it no longer has power over us. Instead of being a victim, it becomes something to be worked with, and something that can lead to greater wellbeing. Looking at anxiety differently gives you more tools with which you can address the root cause of the problem. And if you get to the root, you can stop it from happening. JJ's 3-step anxiety-busting process: You need to be able to have an awareness and consciousness of what is going on. Feel it to heal it! Identify your feelings - go deep. Download JJ's Feelings and Needs list, look at the 100 words on there and compile a list of how you feel. Understand what need isn't being met. Anytime you have a negative emotion, it's because you have a need that is not being met. Figure out what that is so you can start healing it. List or come up with strategies to get your needs met, without anyone else being different. It cannot be about anyone else but you. How can you address your needs for yourself? Check out Episode 118 of JJ's Spirit Purpose & Energy podcast for 3 steps to effective communication. Work with JJ and manifest your dream life: Check out JJ's next event in LA on October 11th to 13th. The Manifestation Boot Camp will teach you how to embody the law of attraction on all levels - creative, practical and emotional. Anxiety and CBD Inner work goes a long way to helping you combat anxiety. Another thing you can do is add anxiety-busting supplements, like CBD. Before he became a CBD entrepreneur, Beau owned a bar with his friend Mike. They were always on the clock, always on the go - it was a high stress lifestyle which, unsurprisingly, created a lot of anxiety. They wanted something to help them deal with it naturally, so they began experimenting with CBD. It worked, but the products were unpleasant to take, impractical or messy. So they decided to create something that made CBD accessible, tasty, and easy to take. Sunday Scaries was born, on a mission to make the world a better place one gummy at a time. CBD will not get you high. It contains medicinal compounds that reduce inflammation, nausea, pain and anxiety. CBD is an adaptogenic, which means that it helps the body heal itself. It's completely safe and non-toxic, something that the World Health Organization has now confirmed. Sunday Scaries are infused with high quality CBD from Colorado, and added vitamins D3 and B12 (we love the Vegan AF ones!). They also have a range of CBD products for your pet. Beau's tips to overcome anxiety: 5-minute journal in the morning. Write down three things you're grateful for, three things that will make the day great, and two affirmation for the day. 5-minute journal at night: three things that were amazing today, three ways you could have improved the day, and how you can set yourself up for success the next day. Meditate in the morning and do some form of exercise. Do not open social media or your email first thing in the morning. Anxiety can't exist when you're grateful. If you start feeling anxious, stop and take a moment to think about three things you're grateful for.
