Reply to [Discussion] Managing Anxiety and Fear During Uncertainty by vicki_davitashvili

Can't be a coincidence I'm seeing this now. cause it's happening to me rn and man is it hard to stay positive Like what am I supposed to do when nothing goes right. I just got out of college and thought I landed a great place to start and learn but now it's like I'm worse off than where I started. I feel like I'm trying but nothing is going my way. I just need a win but it's hard to keep trying everyday

Hey! It’s good to hear from you, and I’m glad to know you’ve been taking positive steps in your day-to-day life. You’re spot on — getting on top of a few little things can make a massive difference in how we feel overall. It’s one of life’s simplest hacks that is, somehow, far too easy to lose sight of or even forget about entirely. So keep it up! Those might be small things, but they truly matter.

I’ve been doing better with brushing my teeth lately, too. Staying on top of the kitchen is a hard one for me, and it’s spotless right now! As far as exercising, I recently bought these 12-sided “workout dice”. Two of them have various common exercises on them, and the third has both reps and durations (in seconds). I was having the hardest time for a while waking up in the mornings. So now I keep those dice — along with my phone, a glass of water, and my medicine — out in the living room. When my alarm goes off, the long walk to turn it off, then chugging a full glass of water with my meds, wakes me up enough to at least not unconsciously immediately snooze and fall back asleep. Without skipping a beat, I roll the dice and do whatever they say. Then I re-roll and do round 2. By the time I get done with a third little exercise that takes no longer than 90 seconds, my blood is flowing and I feel energized and ready to give the day my best shot haha. As a bonus that whole process has allowed me to be super consistent with taking my meds! Total game changer.

But anyway, I’ve been meaning for a long time now to get into the habit of stretching (and meditating) every day. Hearing about your progress has inspired me to start today! So thanks for the update. I’m genuinely happy you’re doing well :)

I wanted to give a small update - been working on my self these past couple weeks. Kicked my butt to workout again consecutively. I've started stretching again each morning after wake up & before going to sleep at night. Also picked up my slack in brushing my teeth every single day. These small things, are keeping me going, grounding me back to earth a little more, & feel accomplished & able to take on the day ahead (or relax for the night).

I hope you're doing well!!

I know people are criticising him, and maybe rightly so, but Conor's rise was pretty inspirational to many people in bad circumstances like he was in. He inspired an entire new generation of Irish fighters and exploded the popularity of the sport. The Motivational McGregor era was top class.
