<v Speaker 1>Apple Podcasts. Willow one on one with Ireland, How did

0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>you cope with your anxiety and your panic attacks? What

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.079
<v Speaker 1>would you say would be a good first step? Talk

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>about if you don't have anyone, there's always someone, even

0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.680
<v Speaker 1>if it's on the internet. Acknowledging it out loud is

0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:33.120
<v Speaker 1>stop number one to me, Like being like I think

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I have anxiety, that moment is huge. And also it's

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the littlest things that I changed in my life that

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>helped me manage this, not drinking coffee anymore, eating right,

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>and treating my body well because a lot of it

0:00:46.560 --> 0:00:49.199
<v Speaker 1>had to do with what I was eating. But the

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.479
<v Speaker 1>one that's really hard for a lot of people is

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>cutting bad people out of your life. And I'm naturally

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>an empathetic person. I want to help people, but it's

0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>a blessing and a curse. It's like I will do

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 1>anything for the people I love to the point of

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.320
<v Speaker 1>it destroying me, and people around me were giving me anxiety.

0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>The people I dated up until who I'm dating now

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.960
<v Speaker 1>gave me horrible anxiety. Anything else I'd say, really learning

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>how to breathe. I know that that sounds kind of silly,

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.399
<v Speaker 1>does not to me. I don't think I've ever breathed

0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:20.960
<v Speaker 1>properly up until like two years ago. Really learning how

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.800
<v Speaker 1>to breathe, like into your gut, into your entire body.

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:29.600
<v Speaker 1>Breath work is so huge. Breath work is like my medication,

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>Like it really is something where I'll breathe, come out

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 1>of it and be like, oh my god. I'm like,

0:01:35.920 --> 0:01:41.560
<v Speaker 1>you know. But I think the most important one, though,

0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 1>is just dropping the expectation that people have. Everybody has

0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>their own version of that. Whatever expectations your teachers, your professors,

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>your boyfriend, girlfriend, whoever puts on you, drop it. Love that.

0:01:53.240 --> 0:01:55.400
