 So James Charles just opened up on Twitter about how he wakes up every single morning with anxiety and he was asking for some tips and Rob Beauty Christie gave him some advice and this is something that so many of us can relate to so let's discuss. What is up everybody this is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution and if you're new to my channel what I try to do is take different topics from what's going on in the YouTube community and try to see what we can pull from them to improve our own mental and emotional well-being so if you're into that stuff make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell and I have exciting amazing news for all of you who have been following me for a while as well as all of you new people too so the cancelled audio book is out now it's linked down in

anxiety as well I have a book called Rewire Your Anxiety you can check that out if you get any of those other books they're only like five bucks you'll get the cancelled audio book so free between now and Sunday all right I know I know I'm a pretty nice guy anyways go check out the description down below but yeah those of you who came here and your James Charles fans I talked quite a bit about his experience in my new book cancelled it's diving into cancel culture on YouTube and what we need to do about it I share my experience I share many other stories in there and James Charles went through it this year and this is this couldn't possibly be one of the contributing factors to his anxiety so before I jump into this and see what kind of lessons we can learn and all that kind of stuff full disclaimer I am not a licensed therapist or a psychologist who am I my name is Chris I am a certified life coach I also have seven years clean and sober I have overcame my own anxiety I still struggle with it every now and then but because of all the things that I've learned it is a billion times better all right I also worked at a drug and alcohol rehab center for three years working with people who struggle with addiction as well as different mental illnesses like anxiety depression and other types of disorders all right so anyways yeah let's talk about what James Charles tweeted yesterday and it actually popped up because a lot of people were talking about this but anyways here's what I said James Charles tweeted out I keep waking up with anxiety does anyone have tips on how to deal with it right away in the morning so Rob Beauty Christy replied and said meditate guided meditation is amazing best in nature if possible but if not try to just be completely quiet peaceful place also exercise cardio works best for me throw throw in your headphones and an audio book or good happy music and just jog with jog the anxiety away it makes a huge difference for me if I do it for 45 minutes to an hour each morning upon waking so yeah let me know down in the comments below if you can relate to waking up with anxiety first thing in the morning so I guess I'll first share a little bit of my experience with that this used to happen to me a lot especially in my active addiction and any of you who are in recovery you know what I'm talking about like waking up in the morning you know after especially after like a blackout not knowing who you talked to the night before what messages you sent what phone calls you made who you might have argued with like I'd wake up every single morning with so much anxiety so one of the first things and I talk about this in my book rewire your anxiety is quit causing your own anxiety okay so this is something I actually mentioned in a video I did yesterday the one about tritipatus and nicocato avocado like my goal every single day at the end of the day is to go to sleep with a clear conscience all right so each day I try to just live to the best of my ability if I screw up I try to apologize as soon as possible because if I can go to sleep with a clear conscience when I wake up I don't have as much anxiety now it can still come for a lot of us who are going through difficult times so like James Charles for example man I'm gonna be talking about therapy in a second but he went through a very difficult experience this year having millions and millions and millions and millions of people coming after you right and this is something that I talk about in the new book canceled too like it's it's something that is traumatic like that sounds extra but until you go through it and I didn't even have it as bad as James Charles like I had hundreds of thousands of people you know who are talking about me and James Charles gets millions of people so I would assume my guess would be that he still has some anxiety from that you know and he talked about you know when he made his comeback video how this really screwed up his mental health and how he took a break and even after he came back with his return video he still took some time off afterwards now let me tell you this I was thinking about making a video about raw beauty christie I don't know if any of you watch it let me know down in the comments if you if you did like what was it a week ago she made a video because she took a little bit of a break and she came back and she opened up about her anxiety and oh my god it was just one of the most phenomenal videos if any of you struggle with anxiety I highly suggest you check out that video from raw beauty christie and here's the thing here's one of the reasons why I love her replying to James Charles because that's what my channel does that's what I think is one of the most beneficial things ever because so many of us you me others like we might struggle with not being able to open up to a therapist a psychologist a doctor somebody like that and talk about our mental health issues but we're more more willing to open up to somebody who's been through it you know what I mean so when you see somebody like raw beauty christie who has just recently opened up about her anxiety and she's putting in the work like that's the thing I love about raw beauty christie's video is she is putting in so much work like you saw it in her response to James Charles she talks about meditation she talks about how she's working out and things like that these are things that are helping her so in her video she also talks about how she's actively looking for a therapist and she's going to experiment with medication so like that's the biggest thing I can tell anybody who struggles with anxiety depression any sort of mental health issue okay it is that like you just have to start trying things all right there's a billion suggestions out there talk to people who have been through it who have overcome it who are currently struggling with it whatever it is ask them what they do like what works okay like that's the only reason I'm sitting here today even somewhat sane is because I've talked to so many people and learn from their experiences right I I've tried everything and I today I do just about everything like I take anti-anxiety medications I meditate you know I journal I you know when I get a chance I exercise and work out that's something that really helps out with my depression like I talked about this not too long ago but you know I have this depression workbook that's all about like the brain science behind it and exercise and going outside is one of the best things that you can do for depression like one of the best things because it starts to generate like all of your positive neurotransmitters like serotonin dopamine epinephrine norepinephrine all sorts of things so just getting out being active even if it's only like taking a walk around the block all right so when it comes to James Charles and this is just you know something that he hasn't talked about maybe he is maybe he isn't but again my videos are made for you okay so I'd be curious if he's seeking professional help so one of the reasons I started this channel is because a lot of people don't have the resources to get professional help for those of you in the United States you know our healthcare system sucks so it might be difficult for you to see a therapist or see a psychologist or even see a doctor to get medications so what I'm getting at is if you are somebody you don't have to be James Charles level rich you don't got to be a bowler but if you have a job if you have insurance and stuff like that like please seek professional help and I really hope someone like James Charles is all right like one of the first steps can be just simply talking to your doctor like just talk to your doctor go in there like my first antidepressant slash anti-anxiety medication lexapro that I was prescribed was just from my primary care doctor when I got diagnosed with a generalized anxiety disorder I went in there because here's the thing as much work as I put in like holistic stuff like non-medication stuff like I still have biological issues okay and this is something I talk about in rewire anxiety I have a whole chapter about the brain and you know those biological issues the genetic issues and stuff like that that can make us more prone to anxiety so medications can help to chill out your amygdala now something that you know since I'm a recovering addict I don't recommend things like Xanax and things like that or Valium like I have I take non-narcotics so I was on lexapro now I'm on Prozac right the other thing is too if you have resources if you have the money if you have insurance go to therapy go to therapy for the love of God so like for example with James Charles I am sure I think we can all safely say that he has so much anxiety that came from his experience of you know the hate mob coming after him as well as just being a public figure there's so much anxiety around like every single tweet you're going to make every video you're going to make all these eyeballs on you and everything like that so I really hope that he's talking with a therapist but you you the one I'm talking to watching this video because I don't think James Charles is if you have the resources to get therapy please for the love of God do it when you work with a therapist you're able to get down to the root causes of your problem like one of the reasons we have so much anxiety is because our brain hasn't been able to process different things in our life some of this can be stemming from our childhood or previous relationships and things like that when you talk with a therapist they're going to help open you up so while like I talked about with raw beauty Christy it's great to have like that kind of peer support because like I I know how irritated we can get like if like a doctor or just some random person's like go meditate you know what I mean but if it's like my friend or someone who's been through it it's a little bit easier to take their advice but a therapist they are specifically trained to help you process different things and your brain starts to heal it starts to calm down your anxiety but again when it comes to waking up with anxiety the best thing we can do is develop positive healthy habits okay these coping skills like raw beauty Christy was talking about when you when you have a whole I kind of think about it like a toolbox or a tool belt when you have just uh an assortment of tools to turn to to help with your anxiety then it becomes automatic and you just start trying different things like when I'm managing my anxiety it's like okay I'm going to try to meditate all right that helped a little bit but it didn't help all the way okay now I'm going to go journal okay that helped a little bit but it didn't help all the way now I'm going to go for a walk or a jog or whatever it is or maybe I'm just going to zone out and you know play video games with my son or watch you know some tv with my girlfriend or whatever it is but when you create this kind of like whole assortment of different anxiety tools that you can turn to you can start going through those when you're experimenting with it and you can see which ones work out best for you all right but anyways let me know down in the comments below if this is something that you struggle with let's let's have a conversation kind of like that peer support that I'm talking about let me know down in the comments what helps you with your anxiety let me know if it's medications let me know if it's meditation let me know if it's talking to other people let me know are you in therapy and all that stuff all right but yeah make sure you check out the description down below if you want check out my book rewire your anxiety I have the ebook and audio book format but I made that book with just a ton of different tools so you can see which ones work for you okay it's a bunch of stuff that's worked for me it's only five bucks so see if any of them work for you all right and don't forget until sunday if you get rewire your anxiety or rewire your anger or my book hope how I overcame depression anxiety and addiction or caught in the crossfire if you get any of those books you get the cancelled audio book full free and that's out now down in the description below all right but anyways that's all I got for this video if you like this video please give it a thumbs up if you're new make sure you subscribe and ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos and I want to send a huge huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon you are all amazing and another thank you to everybody who
