About Section:
In this video, we will discuss how Miyamoto Musashi conquered anxiety and how we can also do the same, learning from his perspective, teachings, actions, and life. We will discuss the Book of Five Rings, dokkodo, and his philosophy, and also share a personal story on how YouTube made my anxiety go through the roof. With Musashi's help, I finally got a better perspective on things.

Anxiety is being in your head anticipating the outcome instead of being present in the moment

[Ygaming.]

anxiety, weakness, low self esteem, every things comes from being lying to yourself, accept the cards you dealt with - everyone is unique accept that - Be Yourself and Love it, now your powerful, you have no insecurity, low esteem, weakness because you accepted the reality -The truth

Meditation twice a day works for me. Puts the problems into perspective and breaks the circle of thought.

Life of a philosipher is a lonely one friend. You will find the way. In all things

[jasonmillers]

Note that, the more you think about the enemy (anxiety) and how to outsmart him, the more you indirectly fuel the enemy. The simplest yet hardest way is to try and live for now. “Being present”. What will be, will be.

I went through something similar when I started sharing my art online, the looking at the metrics, falling into the traps of posting frequently instead of taking the time and do better art, the frustration when a post didn't do well. Now I take my time and don't play the algorithm game, my art is steadily improving as I focus on the process more, I enjoy it more and whatever I produce is going to be better as a result.

Musashi and Marcus Aurelius could have been great friends if they had met.

If one antecipates and prepares for the challenge ahead, of course one reduces anxiety. But anxiety usually happens when things, being dynamic as they are, "change" whatever you've been preparing to. You can prepare deeply for your trip, but is the "road block ahead, detour here" sign that causes you anxiety. Word of advice, when anxious: get tired physically. Run until you run out of breath. An already racing heart cannot run anxious, because it "can't run 2 races", and you rebalance yourself. Works miracles for me.

Never have anxiety over your vids my man. They are fantastic. The ONLY reason you don’t have more views is bc we live in a shallow time and people are not chasing truth and wisdom like us few. I appreciate you and all the work you do. Keep grinding my man.

Anxiety sucks but it's gotten better since I've found Bushido and stoicism, Blessed Be.

I don't feel anxiety. Anxiety feels me

Jiri Prochazka is my favorite MMA fighter and his interviews brought me here. The content and ideas in this video are absolutely amazing!

This was very insightful. I used to also look at anxiety as an enemy to be defeated. Now I have a different perspective. Anxiety is just an internal alarm, evolved to warn us of danger. An alarm is a good thing because it can keep us safe. Therefore, I don't look to disconnect the alarm, nor do I ignore it, like many would suggest. I rely on that alarm for protection, just like I wouldn't take the batteries out of my fire alarm or just ignore it when it sounds. What if there's a real fire and I don't notice it and respond in time? It's telling you there's something you need to look at, and maybe that's what you should do. "Stupid anxiety won't shut up about finals tomorrow. Go away anxiety!" No, you're anxious because you haven't studied. However, sometimes alarms can be overly sensitive and/or produce false alarms, often through faulty programming. So it's important to gauge whether the alarm needs adjusting. Maybe my burglar alarm is too sensitive and goes off every time a strong breeze hits the window. I know the sensor needs addressing. So too, if my internal alarms are going off needlessly, I should dial back the sensors. I do this through exposure therapy and cognitive reframing. "Oh, I spoke in front of the crowd WITHOUT making a fool of myself. In fact, everyone applauded. That's not a situation to fear and avoid." Over time, the anxiety is lessened or no longer arises at all. And if it does, I'm able to silence it effectively because I KNOW through experience it's a false alarm and I'm not just telling myself that to avoid a crappy feeling. The anxiety of having anxiety is usually worse than the anxiety of the situation itself. And that will persist as long as you continue to view anxiety as a foe. Reframe that, be grateful for your anxiety device, but say "Thank you, but I don't need you right now" when appropriate.

1) Meditation/Journaling 2) Take small steps to conquer your goals for improvement in any area of life 3) Accept everything as they are 4) Get Prepared/ Detailed Planning

[billtaylor]

We must understand that we can only control ourselves not everything around us. Once we learn that there is no anxiety. We can't worry or fear what the day brings but we can control how we navigate through our day

This was just what I needed right now. Been stressing over a game that I have been working on for the better part of a year. Now that I have put so much time and effort into it, I start to get intrusive thoughts that make me worry if I will be able to finish it or not. Or if it will "be worth it" in the end.
Definitiv going to read up on Musashi, and I think your channel has well earned another sub.

[lacour_studio]

Brooo!!!! Love all the miyamoto musashi content, I’m particularly inspired by what he calls, “the two fold way” do a video on that, plz!!! “Every warrior should have a peaceful art as well as a killing art, this is the two fold way.”
