Anxiety in roofing sales
is completely crippling.

00:00:03.750 --> 00:00:05.700
It makes us feel shackled.

00:00:05.940 --> 00:00:11.820
Shackled to having just total panic about
leaving the house, about approaching

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:14.400
a door or driving up a long driveway.

00:00:14.460 --> 00:00:19.160
And when we're shackled by anxiety, which
is fear in its own right, fear and worry.

00:00:19.845 --> 00:00:23.385
We end up having our income
completely capped by this ceiling

00:00:23.625 --> 00:00:25.245
of our own internal roadblock.

00:00:25.425 --> 00:00:29.145
We end up struggling to feel motivated
and actually get out and do the work.

00:00:29.325 --> 00:00:33.465
And if we don't get anxiety under
control and have a tool to move through

00:00:33.465 --> 00:00:38.505
it correct through not around, then
we will likely have a finite end

00:00:38.645 --> 00:00:40.545
of our time here in roofing sales.

00:00:40.864 --> 00:00:44.644
So in this video I want to get real
and share with you my own story that

00:00:44.644 --> 00:00:48.785
was inspired by two people, Scott, who
commented on one of my videos, 10 Tips for

00:00:48.785 --> 00:00:52.025
Knocking Doors For Your First Time saying,
can you please do a video on anxiety?

00:00:52.055 --> 00:00:55.235
And then Josh, who messaged me
privately saying, I get super

00:00:55.239 --> 00:00:57.515
anxious driving up long driveways.

00:00:57.519 --> 00:00:58.444
I don't know how to get around it.

00:00:58.965 --> 00:01:02.115
So whether you're someone who has
experienced anxiety in just a small

00:01:02.115 --> 00:01:05.144
way, maybe it's in just certain
situations or just cold calling, or

00:01:05.144 --> 00:01:08.085
maybe it's just your first few knocks
of the day, or maybe you're someone

00:01:08.085 --> 00:01:11.835
that's have, that has crippling anxiety
and has driven to neighborhoods and

00:01:11.835 --> 00:01:13.455
can't get out of your own vehicle.

00:01:13.725 --> 00:01:15.755
Uh, I want to share my
own journey through this.

00:01:16.309 --> 00:01:19.880
Not as a preacher, but as someone
who's gone through it, because what

00:01:19.880 --> 00:01:23.179
I haven't shared publicly is that
I've struggled with anxiety in a

00:01:23.179 --> 00:01:25.160
really big way for most of my life.

00:01:25.160 --> 00:01:29.030
And in fact, as a child, I spent most
of my childhood and adolescence in

00:01:29.030 --> 00:01:31.350
therapy specifically for anxiety.

00:01:31.910 --> 00:01:33.710
I had such bad anxiety that I didn't even.

00:01:33.730 --> 00:01:36.640
Sleep out of my own house
until about 18 years old.

00:01:36.850 --> 00:01:41.380
I had panic attacks constantly as a
child and growing into roofing sales,

00:01:41.590 --> 00:01:46.330
it was a massive journey for me to learn
how to overcome my own anxieties, but

00:01:46.335 --> 00:01:49.810
blending that with my, my tendencies
to be a people pleaser because of a

00:01:49.810 --> 00:01:51.340
household environment that I grew up in.

00:01:51.430 --> 00:01:56.740
And these personal challenges were very,
very intense and I don't see enough people

00:01:56.745 --> 00:01:58.780
talking about this stuff in our industry.

00:01:59.020 --> 00:02:00.760
So, uh, I wanted to bring.

00:02:01.020 --> 00:02:05.790
Some heart openness and vulnerability
to the very real struggles that tons of

00:02:05.790 --> 00:02:10.110
people go through, but we oftentimes feel
like we're the only ones going through it.

00:02:10.229 --> 00:02:13.320
So these are the questions that usually
come privately or when I'm speaking at

00:02:13.320 --> 00:02:14.670
event and people will come up after.

00:02:14.675 --> 00:02:16.591
So Scott and Josh, I
just wanna say thank you.

00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.110
For being vulnerable, being
real, and inspiring this video,

00:02:19.170 --> 00:02:20.250
and let's get right to it.

00:02:20.490 --> 00:02:22.170
Uh, Adam Besman here, the roof strategist.

00:02:22.170 --> 00:02:23.580
Welcome or welcome back.

00:02:23.880 --> 00:02:26.670
E Everything I do here is designed
to help you and your team smash

00:02:26.675 --> 00:02:30.420
your income goal and give every
customer an amazing experience.

00:02:30.450 --> 00:02:35.430
And I do what I do because I estimate
that about 66% of sales reps quit or

00:02:35.490 --> 00:02:36.720
get fired in their very first year.

00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:41.400
And those that survive often quit
or get fired later on because of

00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:43.260
not being prepared to succeed.

00:02:43.260 --> 00:02:46.920
And that includes, Up here between
your ears, your mindset, and that's

00:02:46.920 --> 00:02:47.970
what we're gonna cover today.

00:02:48.240 --> 00:02:49.650
So let's talk anxiety first.

00:02:50.010 --> 00:02:53.700
Anxiety is a very real thing that
we must understand and we can look

00:02:53.700 --> 00:02:55.950
at anxiety through the lens of fear.

00:02:56.250 --> 00:02:58.770
And fear is really what
we're nervous about.

00:02:58.770 --> 00:03:01.710
So anxiety is a resistance to a feeling.

00:03:01.980 --> 00:03:05.670
This feeling bubbles up, I'm
afraid, I'm worried, I'm anxious.

00:03:05.730 --> 00:03:09.780
And then we panic in that feeling
and say, I don't wanna feel that way.

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:11.580
So we're afraid of the fear.

00:03:11.865 --> 00:03:14.895
That's what anxiety ultimately
is, is fear of a feeling.

00:03:14.955 --> 00:03:18.615
And the more we resist that
feeling, the the larger it gets.

00:03:18.615 --> 00:03:20.145
And I wanna share this
through two stories.

00:03:20.385 --> 00:03:22.275
Number one is a gentleman
that reached out to me.

00:03:22.280 --> 00:03:23.865
This was about, I believe, last year.

00:03:24.315 --> 00:03:27.525
He was a combat veteran and he served,
and I can't recall if it was Iraq

00:03:27.525 --> 00:03:30.735
or Afghanistan, and he was in one
of the most dangerous places where

00:03:30.735 --> 00:03:32.955
he was in firefights on the regular.

00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:36.825
He saw horrific stuff and his
life was literally on the line.

00:03:36.855 --> 00:03:40.485
And he said to me in the email, and I'm
paraphrasing, he says, Adam, I never

00:03:40.485 --> 00:03:45.195
once skipped a beat when I was in combat,
but for some reason the fear and anxiety

00:03:45.195 --> 00:03:48.345
of knocking doors is crippling and I
can't even get out of my own truck.

00:03:48.795 --> 00:03:51.225
Now, this is someone that literally
their life was on the line.

00:03:51.750 --> 00:03:55.140
But they didn't skip a beat,
but for some reason this.

00:03:55.725 --> 00:03:59.385
Fear that we manufactured in our mind
is what kept him from succeeding.

00:04:00.045 --> 00:04:01.005
So that's one story.

00:04:01.245 --> 00:04:03.975
And then I wanna share another
one as we understand fear.

00:04:04.305 --> 00:04:07.725
I remember going cliff jumping
for the very first time I was

00:04:07.725 --> 00:04:12.195
in, uh, Belize, and I had to
scramble up this river, uh, cliff.

00:04:12.200 --> 00:04:14.985
So we were in the river and we
stopped and we were on the boat and

00:04:14.990 --> 00:04:16.274
we had to scramble up this cliff.

00:04:16.305 --> 00:04:17.625
And it was so spooky.

00:04:17.625 --> 00:04:18.765
It was a 40 foot jump.

00:04:19.065 --> 00:04:21.644
And which for some sounds
high, it was for me.

00:04:21.644 --> 00:04:23.325
For others who were like,
I've done bigger anyway.

00:04:23.355 --> 00:04:23.955
Scare the heck outta me.

00:04:24.219 --> 00:04:25.750
40 feet really high up in the air.

00:04:25.930 --> 00:04:28.960
So we scrambled up this cliff and
it was so much, so like, so steep

00:04:28.960 --> 00:04:33.750
that if you slipped, there was
no like, No way to tumble except

00:04:33.750 --> 00:04:34.770
straight down outta the rocks.

00:04:34.890 --> 00:04:36.540
So you're scrambling up this
cliff, your heart's going the

00:04:36.540 --> 00:04:38.070
whole way you get to the top.

00:04:38.280 --> 00:04:41.130
And the guys that that were guiding
us were like, so you need to jump

00:04:41.130 --> 00:04:44.190
pretty far because there's really
sharp rocks and it's not deep enough.

00:04:44.190 --> 00:04:46.800
So make sure you get like really
far out and then you'll be in the

00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:47.700
deep enough spot of the river.

00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.840
So I'm standing on the edge of this
thing looking down, and my heart is

00:04:51.120 --> 00:04:57.750
just going like, and I remember that the
longer I stood there anticipating this.

00:04:58.365 --> 00:05:01.995
The fear and anxiety of is it gonna hurt?

00:05:02.265 --> 00:05:03.344
How's it gonna feel?

00:05:03.344 --> 00:05:04.935
Am I gonna get far enough out?

00:05:05.115 --> 00:05:06.405
What if I drown?

00:05:06.525 --> 00:05:07.965
What if I get stuck in the current?

00:05:07.965 --> 00:05:10.125
All these things are going
through my mind, and the longer

00:05:10.125 --> 00:05:11.205
I said they're the worse it got.

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:14.100
And I remember the first time, then
I'd be on the edge, I'd step back,

00:05:14.100 --> 00:05:16.560
I'd let someone else go, and I'd
watch them like, okay, they were fine.

00:05:16.590 --> 00:05:17.280
All right, good, good.

00:05:17.310 --> 00:05:18.330
Like the canary and the coal mine.

00:05:18.660 --> 00:05:18.990
All right.

00:05:19.050 --> 00:05:20.460
Next guy goes, all right, they're good.

00:05:20.490 --> 00:05:21.840
And I'm sitting there, I'm like, oh man.

00:05:22.080 --> 00:05:25.020
And finally I just, I was
like, I gotta face this thing.

00:05:25.020 --> 00:05:26.250
And I just went for it.

00:05:26.250 --> 00:05:27.780
I leaped or leapt.

00:05:28.245 --> 00:05:28.875
Leaped left.

00:05:28.875 --> 00:05:30.525
Left and leaped, whatever it is.

00:05:30.525 --> 00:05:33.645
I jumped, man, I jumped and I did
my little pencil dive and I went

00:05:33.645 --> 00:05:38.535
in and I remember being underwater
and being like, like so excited.

00:05:38.540 --> 00:05:39.375
Like that was awesome.

00:05:39.525 --> 00:05:40.455
Like I did it.

00:05:40.515 --> 00:05:42.465
And then I popped up and I'm
like, we gotta go do that again.

00:05:42.840 --> 00:05:47.670
And the lesson here, both in, in the story
of the, the gentleman who was in combat

00:05:47.670 --> 00:05:51.030
and this cliff jumping, which I, I realize
are not even comparable, is that the only

00:05:51.030 --> 00:05:56.220
way through, uh, anxiety is again, through
it, not around it, you have to face it.

00:05:56.460 --> 00:06:00.210
So when we recognize the fact that anxiety
is a resistance to a feeling, we can then

00:06:00.210 --> 00:06:03.210
say, okay, and I have this feeling, and
the only way through it is not to resist

00:06:03.210 --> 00:06:06.690
it and push back or fight, try to like
fight it out, but to just hit it head on.

00:06:07.050 --> 00:06:09.180
And that's what we're gonna
be learning how to do now.

00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:10.350
So first, let's talk.

00:06:10.350 --> 00:06:11.280
What is fear?

00:06:11.530 --> 00:06:14.650
There's a great analogy that I've
learned about fear, which stands

00:06:14.650 --> 00:06:18.280
for F E A R, feeling excited.

00:06:19.050 --> 00:06:23.790
And ready, feeling, excited and ready,
which allows us to rewire our mind.

00:06:24.150 --> 00:06:26.550
And then when we feel that fear,
anxiety, like when I was standing on

00:06:26.550 --> 00:06:29.130
the edge of the cliff and I was like,
man, I'm freaking afraid I'm scared.

00:06:29.220 --> 00:06:31.560
I was like, ah, fear, I am
feeling excited and ready.

00:06:31.565 --> 00:06:31.950
Go.

00:06:32.100 --> 00:06:33.000
And then I could jump.

00:06:33.090 --> 00:06:33.420
All right.

00:06:33.660 --> 00:06:37.230
So when we consciously rewire our
mind, we can now look at those

00:06:37.230 --> 00:06:40.260
feelings of fear and embrace them.

00:06:40.530 --> 00:06:41.670
Feeling excited and ready.

00:06:42.270 --> 00:06:45.390
Now, next is, let's take a
look at this through logic.

00:06:46.125 --> 00:06:49.515
What often helps is to grab a pen and
a piece of paper and start journaling.

00:06:49.784 --> 00:06:51.044
What are you afraid of?

00:06:51.044 --> 00:06:52.395
What are you anxious about?

00:06:52.395 --> 00:06:53.835
And I'll start your list with you.

00:06:53.895 --> 00:06:54.465
How about that?

00:06:54.765 --> 00:06:57.195
Number one, feeling rejected.

00:06:57.375 --> 00:06:59.114
Number two, freezing.

00:06:59.414 --> 00:07:02.625
Number three, not knowing
what to say at all.

00:07:02.630 --> 00:07:06.224
Number four, afraid of conflict
in people screaming at me.

00:07:06.435 --> 00:07:09.075
Number five, feeling like a failure.

00:07:09.780 --> 00:07:13.590
All those things, those to me were the
big five and I'm curious to hear from you.

00:07:13.590 --> 00:07:16.620
And if there's more, drop it in
the comment section below and

00:07:16.650 --> 00:07:20.190
hopefully it'll inspire others to
be real and vulnerable with what

00:07:20.190 --> 00:07:21.330
it's like to be out in the field.

00:07:21.330 --> 00:07:22.890
And I know there's some
people, by the way, that like

00:07:22.890 --> 00:07:23.880
commented one of my videos like.

00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:25.409
Not all of us get anxious.

00:07:25.409 --> 00:07:26.790
Get to the, get to the tactics.

00:07:26.790 --> 00:07:27.300
I'm like, great.

00:07:27.300 --> 00:07:30.330
I'm, I'm pumped that you
don't, and I don't now.

00:07:30.540 --> 00:07:32.969
But I remember when it was a big deal.

00:07:32.969 --> 00:07:35.940
It was the biggest deal in my life,
which is why I want to do this video.

00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:40.140
So write down those big fears and when you
approach them logically, you now have some

00:07:40.140 --> 00:07:44.400
coping mechanisms of how to tackle those,
which I'm gonna share with you here.

00:07:44.665 --> 00:07:47.215
Now I learned this and I have to
give full credit where credit is

00:07:47.215 --> 00:07:52.375
due from Barry McDonough who wrote
this book, dare The New Way, uh, to

00:07:52.375 --> 00:07:53.965
End Anxiety and Stop Panic Attacks.

00:07:53.995 --> 00:07:57.685
I did listen to it on Audible and I
would recommend it in that format,

00:07:57.775 --> 00:07:58.615
but you can do it however you want.

00:07:58.825 --> 00:08:05.095
Dare book Now, this book here was far
more valuable and I mean like I was in

00:08:05.095 --> 00:08:07.495
therapy as a small child for anxiety.

00:08:07.830 --> 00:08:11.669
For as long as I can remember
struggling with it in a very real way.

00:08:12.000 --> 00:08:17.489
Not once did I experience any sense
of relief or ways to encounter it

00:08:17.489 --> 00:08:20.309
versus talking around it until I
read the DARE book and I learned

00:08:20.309 --> 00:08:22.679
what he calls the Dare response.

00:08:22.859 --> 00:08:23.190
Okay.

00:08:23.369 --> 00:08:25.849
Now, the first thing that we want
to do, now that we've got this, this

00:08:25.849 --> 00:08:27.630
framework, which go ahead and read.

00:08:27.975 --> 00:08:31.245
Because it's not up to me to teach
his, uh, Barry McDonough's framework

00:08:31.245 --> 00:08:33.855
here, but I want to just give
some insights into some of the key

00:08:33.855 --> 00:08:35.294
concepts that help me the most.

00:08:35.595 --> 00:08:38.625
And that is when I understood the
logic of what I was anxious and

00:08:38.630 --> 00:08:40.664
afraid of, I, I just listed it out.

00:08:40.905 --> 00:08:42.525
And then the first part is diffusing.

00:08:42.525 --> 00:08:45.895
That's the d and diffusing is,
is literally experiencing thatno

00:08:46.155 --> 00:08:48.135
that anxiety and saying, so what?

00:08:48.405 --> 00:08:49.215
Or whatever.

00:08:49.485 --> 00:08:51.195
Like, so what if I get rejected?

00:08:51.945 --> 00:08:53.415
That's life, that's sales.

00:08:53.625 --> 00:08:55.215
So what if I freeze?

00:08:55.365 --> 00:08:57.795
Then I'm gonna learn how
to not freeze next time.

00:08:58.125 --> 00:09:00.345
So what if there's
conflict and they're mad?

00:09:00.350 --> 00:09:01.785
I can't serve everybody.

00:09:01.790 --> 00:09:06.195
It's not a personal attack on
me in learning how to use that

00:09:06.195 --> 00:09:11.295
rewiring fear, feeling ex um,
uh, feeling excited and ready.

00:09:11.295 --> 00:09:11.835
Sorry about that.

00:09:11.835 --> 00:09:12.435
Brain fart.

00:09:12.675 --> 00:09:14.115
Next one is logic.

00:09:14.115 --> 00:09:16.905
Listing out all those things
I'm afraid of allows me that

00:09:16.905 --> 00:09:20.295
opportunity to approach this stuff
head on and be like, wait a minute.

00:09:20.295 --> 00:09:21.135
That's kind of silly.

00:09:21.510 --> 00:09:23.370
I'm really not afraid of that stuff.

00:09:23.640 --> 00:09:27.660
And then using the tools in the dare
response, which I highly recommend to

00:09:27.660 --> 00:09:33.209
accept and allow, that's the a r is to
run towards as opposed to hide from.

00:09:33.329 --> 00:09:36.209
And E is engaged, meaning turn your
attention back to what you're doing.

00:09:36.239 --> 00:09:37.699
And it sounds crazy simple.

00:09:38.010 --> 00:09:38.400
And it is.

00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:40.381
And when I first read that book,
I was like, that's a little weird.

00:09:40.386 --> 00:09:41.489
That's kind of a little cheesy.

00:09:41.729 --> 00:09:44.520
And it has truly, truly changed my life.

00:09:44.579 --> 00:09:47.069
And in fact, the last tool that I
wanna share before I wrap this up

00:09:47.069 --> 00:09:48.839
with the final call to action for you.

00:09:49.515 --> 00:09:53.145
Of what you can do is, uh, Barry
McDonough talked in there about

00:09:53.145 --> 00:09:55.845
giving your fear a persona.

00:09:55.995 --> 00:09:59.265
So when it, in your anxiety of persona,
so when it sneaks in, you can name

00:09:59.265 --> 00:10:00.255
it like it's a little character.

00:10:00.255 --> 00:10:03.435
So my little anxiety thing, I can't
share his name cause it's actually quite

00:10:03.435 --> 00:10:05.265
explicit, but it helps me feel empowered.

00:10:05.535 --> 00:10:06.645
But it's a little.

00:10:07.125 --> 00:10:11.445
Uh, a, a little troll with
pink hair and a pink tutu and,

00:10:11.445 --> 00:10:12.555
uh, I call 'em the little bee.

00:10:12.615 --> 00:10:13.455
You can fill in the blanks.

00:10:13.725 --> 00:10:18.375
My little bee and my little bee comes
and I now, like, I was out on a run the

00:10:18.375 --> 00:10:23.385
other day and this is, I was, I was, uh,
totally like cashed, like to, like, I'm,

00:10:23.385 --> 00:10:27.285
I'm, I live up in the mountains, I'm
running uphill and my heart is pounding.

00:10:27.285 --> 00:10:28.425
I just want to quit and walk.

00:10:28.425 --> 00:10:30.285
And I'm like, oh, that's
just my little bee.

00:10:30.315 --> 00:10:34.245
He popped up his little pink tutu and
I visualized that Every single step I

00:10:34.245 --> 00:10:36.585
took was like death by, by a thousand.

00:10:36.590 --> 00:10:36.765
Cut.

00:10:36.790 --> 00:10:41.079
Every step was a little knife cut and I
just bled him out and I felt so empowered.

00:10:41.079 --> 00:10:44.140
And you know what's funny is even
after doing that really cheesy thing

00:10:44.140 --> 00:10:49.990
of, again, letting those intrusive
thoughts of being afraid or anxious or

00:10:49.990 --> 00:10:52.990
feel for or wanting to quit, whatever
negative dialogue that was garbage.

00:10:53.230 --> 00:10:56.140
Now when he comes up at his, kill
him, in my mind I'm knock him out.

00:10:56.290 --> 00:10:57.400
And it has been really helpful.

00:10:57.400 --> 00:10:58.270
And I know that may sound.

00:10:58.300 --> 00:11:02.979
Stupid cheesy, and I feel so vulnerable
sharing this publicly, but it has truly

00:11:02.979 --> 00:11:07.060
helped me, and that's why I want to give
you these tools of first, acknowledging

00:11:07.060 --> 00:11:10.599
that anxiety and logically listing
what you're afraid of next, reorienting

00:11:10.599 --> 00:11:12.490
fear, feeling excited and ready.

00:11:12.609 --> 00:11:16.329
Third, naming your little, uh,
your little anxiety demonn that

00:11:16.334 --> 00:11:18.969
shows up in visualizing him so
you can be like, oh, hey friend.

00:11:19.260 --> 00:11:20.580
All right, well, I'm gonna win this one.

00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:21.210
Right?

00:11:21.330 --> 00:11:24.360
And then the final piece, after reading
the DARE book, which again, I'm gonna

00:11:24.360 --> 00:11:27.900
put that up on the screen so you can
see it, uh, get this book and read it.

00:11:27.900 --> 00:11:31.500
And, and even when you're getting into
parts that you don't feel like applied

00:11:31.500 --> 00:11:35.220
to you, uh, I would highly recommend that
you stick with it because they often will.

00:11:35.520 --> 00:11:39.540
Now, my final call to action is this,
is you need to practice the only way.

00:11:39.580 --> 00:11:42.010
Through anxiety is through it.

00:11:42.010 --> 00:11:42.610
It's not around it.

00:11:42.615 --> 00:11:44.980
If you want to get over it,
you have to go through it.

00:11:45.250 --> 00:11:48.670
Now, applying what I learned in
that book and making some lifestyle

00:11:48.670 --> 00:11:51.730
changes has been game changing
for me, and I'm gonna share those

00:11:51.730 --> 00:11:53.170
lifestyle changes with you right now.

00:11:53.620 --> 00:11:55.000
Number one is sleep.

00:11:55.300 --> 00:11:58.860
I was someone that wasn't sleeping
a whole bunch and now I'm getting

00:11:59.260 --> 00:12:00.430
eight to 10 hours a night.

00:12:00.430 --> 00:12:04.990
Eight is bare bones, minimum sleep is
restorative and mission critical, and

00:12:04.990 --> 00:12:09.435
I had to drop my broy nature of like,
Going to bed later, waking up earlier.

00:12:09.435 --> 00:12:10.694
There's only so much time in the day.

00:12:10.724 --> 00:12:13.964
Sees every moment, and it just, it
wasn't practical in the long run.

00:12:13.964 --> 00:12:14.265
Okay.

00:12:14.505 --> 00:12:17.745
Number two was eliminating caffeine,
because if you are someone that

00:12:17.745 --> 00:12:21.614
struggles with anxiety, caffeine will
zip you up and you gotta dial it back.

00:12:21.614 --> 00:12:25.395
So I've switched to N to herbal
TS instead of caffeine, and

00:12:25.395 --> 00:12:26.625
I don't do caffeine at all.

00:12:27.314 --> 00:12:32.209
Number three is, A, an aggressive
workout I run every single morning, and

00:12:32.209 --> 00:12:35.000
I don't do it for my physical health,
I do it for my mental health, and

00:12:35.060 --> 00:12:38.959
that has given me an outlet to kind of
burn the energy out because cortisol

00:12:38.965 --> 00:12:42.770
is higher in the morning, meaning the
stress hormone naturally is higher.

00:12:42.770 --> 00:12:45.680
So if you're someone with anxiety that
wakes up three, four in the morning with

00:12:45.685 --> 00:12:48.740
your mind spinning, or the minute you
wake up, you're just anxious about the day

00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:49.730
you're running through your to-do list.

00:12:49.730 --> 00:12:50.569
You got all these things to do.

00:12:51.060 --> 00:12:55.170
Instead of getting into it, go burn a
bunch of energy, high intensity workout,

00:12:55.175 --> 00:12:56.310
whatever that might mean for you.

00:12:56.610 --> 00:12:58.170
So those are the three biggest things.

00:12:58.170 --> 00:13:00.420
And then, uh, I'm obviously
not a, a nutritionist.

00:13:00.645 --> 00:13:04.334
But I've heard, and it's worked for
me, that magnesium, uh, the proper form

00:13:04.334 --> 00:13:06.824
of magnesium, which Barry McDonough
again shares at the end of the

00:13:06.824 --> 00:13:10.964
book, what types to take Morning and
Night has been monumentally helpful

00:13:11.415 --> 00:13:13.605
along with using that dare response.

00:13:13.755 --> 00:13:17.475
So I hope this helps you tackle anxiety,
and if you've struggled with it, I'd

00:13:17.475 --> 00:13:19.697
love to hear from you in the comment
section below, and together we can

00:13:19.964 --> 00:13:23.564
bring a bit more of a real voice to
what we go through in this industry.

00:13:23.595 --> 00:13:25.545
And if you're someone that
had it and doesn't anymore,

00:13:25.694 --> 00:13:27.015
welcome to the Great side.

00:13:27.189 --> 00:13:30.790
Uh, I got about that much left, but I
feel like a completely different human

00:13:30.790 --> 00:13:35.350
being and it's been the most freeing
feeling in the entire world to be me

00:13:35.350 --> 00:13:37.480
and bring me to serve the world better.

00:13:37.485 --> 00:13:38.020
And my friend.

00:13:38.020 --> 00:13:39.790
That is exactly what I wanna see for you.

00:13:39.970 --> 00:13:43.720
Bringing your authentic, true self that
is unshackled to be the best servant

00:13:43.725 --> 00:13:45.430
you can for everyone that you serve.

00:13:45.435 --> 00:13:46.540
So that's all for this video.

00:13:46.540 --> 00:13:48.189
Thanks again for joining me here.

00:13:48.400 --> 00:13:50.740

00:13:50.830 --> 00:13:52.300
Uh, just cuz this
video's about to wrap up.

00:13:52.660 --> 00:13:54.300
It doesn't mean you're in my time has to.
