Sometimes it's hard to motivate yourself when you have so much pressure and expectation on yourself, other people self-doubt themselves, um, or rebel, maybe too as well.
Ever felt like the weight of the world is on your shoulders? Jay M certainly has. In this episode of the 'Unscripted Anxiety Show', Jay opens up about how expectations and pressure have shaped his mental health journey. As a freelance videographer, husband, and father of two, Jay knows all too well the toll that chronic anxiety, anorexia, depression, and addiction can take on one's life.
He doesn't hold back as he shares his personal experiences, offering a raw look into the struggles many face but seldom talk about. Jay dives into how personal expectations and external pressures can lead to spiraling lows, making it tough to stay motivated and productive. He discusses the paralyzing effect of self-doubt and how it can amplify anxiety and depression. But it's not all doom and gloom.
Jay also shares practical strategies for coping, like taking breaks, regulating your breathing, and finding creative outlets to express yourself. One of the most touching parts of this episode is when Jay talks about drawing inspiration from his family members who have faced their own challenges. He emphasizes the importance of self-care, even when it feels impossible. Whether it's a quick walk outside or a moment of mindfulness, these small acts can make a big difference.
If you're struggling with the weight of expectations and pressure, this episode offers valuable insights and practical tips to help you navigate your own mental health journey. Tune in for a heartfelt conversation that reminds you you're not alone.
