An Anxious Man

Hello, I hope you're doing well.  This video is for anyone to watch, but I made it as the title states, STRICTLY FOR THE ANXIOUS. I'm an anxious person. I know what it feels like to be able to function with anxiety and what it feels like to not be able to function with anxiety. This video is for you.  If you're looking for a place to sign petitions, get notified about the issues regarding police brutality in this country or you want to donate try this website. This is where I signed and donated.  https://www.grassrootslaw.org/ I spoke quite a bit about Brene Brown in the this video, and in most of my last videos as well. I've listened to her audio books, watched her TedX talk and her Netflix special as well. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO THE SAME. https://brenebrown.com/ THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!

Hello fellow Anxious people! I recorded this video a few nights ago, or mornings ago.  As I'll explain in the video I was sitting in the bathroom around 4:30 AM when I started to "hear" something and was about to take a shower. This is one of those instances where I could have or even would have had a panic attack, but instead something else happened. Something good I think.  You tell me what you think or if anything like this has ever happened to you.  Here are the links to the song and the Alan Watts and Terence Mckenna clips I use in the video: Kelly Marie- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCEIT... Alan Watts- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gFMmR... Terence Mckenna/ We Plants Are Happy Pants- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzPko... Let me know if you liked the video and below you can find me on Facebook, Instagram or the audio version of this Podcast.  Thanks for watching!

HELLO FRIENDS!  I hope you and everyone you know is doing well.  On this episode I discuss my thoughts and observations on something I think we've all either experienced or taken part in. FIGHTING IN INTERNET COMMENTS.  This is something I've talked about and thought about a lot and on the more rare occasion have taken part in as well. I think this is the most wasted activity ever and a huge factor in giving people anxiety and exacerbating anxiety. I'm sure everyone has their own opinions on the matter and I really want to hear what all of you think.  Hopefully we can discuss this without engaging in even more fighting in the internet comments.  I hope you enjoy this video. If so please like and subscribe!  IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!  THANK YOU!

Hello World!  So, for episode 7 of ANXIETY IN A QUARANTINE I was not only out of my house, but I was in direct sunlight in the actual outer doors. It was really great.  I rode my bike a total of about 12.5 miles today which I think is pretty good. I'll try to do more tomorrow if the weather holds up, we are expecting rain most of the week here on Long Island.  Any who, In todays video I talk a lot about wallowing and feeling sour or shitty. A feeling I thin it's safe to assume that everyone is feeling right now in this Pandemic. Speaking from my own personal experience as someone with anxiety I can say that it has been a real up and down, frustratingly unpredictable time. My mood swings on a normal basis and now It's leaving me pretty paralyzed most of the time. Or at least that was most of my week. Like I said it has been up and down and I'm going forward with the attitude that it will be mostly up, because I am going to stick to a more helpful routine. I'll talk more about this is upcoming videos as I create it lol  I do mention Brene Brown quite a bit in this video. Go look her up, she has videos here on YouTube in TedX talks, a special on Netflix and many published books. Here is her website: https://brenebrown.com/  Also, here is the Link to my Big Bucket Of Chicken Podcast as well as the audio version of this podcast, if you prefer to listen rather than watch and anything else I'm up to as well.  Follow me on Instagram, it's pretty much the only social media I take part in these days.  EMAIL: thelouniverse@gmail.com  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thelouniverse  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_ananxiousm...

Hello! On this episode I talk about my theory on how I think, despite how things may seem good-bad-or indifferent, the universe is on our side and things DO happen for a reason and I do give some examples.  Let me know what you think. Is the Universe on our side or is God doing things, or the Devil or is there no order to the chaos what-so-ever?  Thank you for watching!  Lou  EMAIL: thelouniverse@gmail.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/thelouniverse Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_ananxiousman_/?hl=en My Podcast Links The Big Bucket of Chicken Podcast (comedy) - https://www.youtube.com/user/lourofficefurniture/featured?view_as=subscriber Anchor:  https://anchor.fm/ananxiousman Apple Podcasts: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/an-anxious-man/id1330643966?mt=2 Google Podcasts: https://www.google.com/podcasts?feed=aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8xZjIxNmYwL3BvZGNhc3QvcnNz Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7gFeQKBsIvPeBQsWmSVJXT Breaker: https://www.breaker.audio/an-anxious-man Castbox: https://castbox.fm/channel/id1135488 Google Play Music: https://playmusic.app.goo.gl/?ibi=com.google.PlayMusic&isi=691797987&ius=googleplaymusic&apn=com.google.android.music&link=https://play.google.com/music/m/Imt2i4pxvxie4tojsr2wcvggi3y?t%3DAn_Anxious_Ma Overcast: https://overcast.fm/itunes1330643966/an-anxious-man Pocketcast: http://pca.st/N8Sb RadioPublic: https://play.radiopublic.com/an-anxious-man-G3VoYE Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/anchor-podcasts/an-anxious-man

Hey Guys!  So today I talk about wallowing in your negative feelings and emotions. What I call a "Happiness Hangover" Basically when you feel good for a few days and that feeling good, or dopamine hit, what have you makes you feel like crap for a day or two or more. Does that sound familiar or make sense?  You let me know. 

It's as simple as that.  I cannot talk enough about acceptance. It's something that I HAVE to practice on a daily basis and I believe it is the foundation to the healing process. I keep it short and sweet.  If you have any questions or comments please feel free to share them.  Thank you for listening! 

Good Monday to all of you crazy kids out there! Today I'm talking about being mindful, not just of our thoughts and feelings, but also of what we eat and consume. What are the things we run towards when we're not being mindful and why.

Hey people! As of this posting of this video I am 2 months cigarette free and 1 week totally Vegan. I FEEL REALLY GREAT!  I talk about how good i feel not eating any dairy this whole week. Being a vegetarian for the past year and a half has been great, but now I can really feel a difference in my health and it's great.  I talk about how being more calm and peaceful is allowing me to identify the things that I do that can trigger the things that triggered my anxiety in the past. Simple things that we let go unnoticed on a daily basis. It all goes back to being mindful. Mindfulness is one of THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOLS you can have in your arsenal against anxiety. Infact, I would say that it helps you NOT be "against" anxiety, but be more one with yourself which inturn makes you more one with the anxiety. Befriending it in a way.  I hope you enjoy this video and I hope it helps you.  PLEASE FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT TO ME WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS WHAT TO EVER!  You can do this.  MY BLOG, MY PODCAST AND EVERYTHING ELSE! - https://linktr.ee/the_louniverse FACEBOOK - https://www.facebook.com/TheLouniverse/ INSTAGRAM - https://www.instagram.com/the_louniverse/ EMAIL ME: thelouniverse@gmail.com Dr. Sebi- Why do People get sick - https://youtu.be/Hcm1PGcxABc Here is a video on Dr. Sebi I think you will enjoy. Do your own research, there is a ton of video out there that he posted. He dies back in 2016 and there is a lot of controversy around his death, and his life, etc. I think this guy was legit. You find out for yourself. 

Monday thoughts Tuesday edition lol. Today I'm talking about gratitude and being grateful and how this aids and adds value to mindfulness and acceptance in our lives.

Do you commit to things? Relationships, tasks, yourself? Or do you give up easily and rationalize your way out? I know I do. This is what I'm discussing on this episode of Monday Thoughts. Enjoy!
