Great video! Was actually looking for videos to distract me when I found this. At the end when you said to just go about your daily life I laughed so hard XD. It made me think of the people who say: "just dont be anxious". And I know that's not how you meant it but I just laughed way too hard at that. 🤣🤣🤣
