Amazing content!!! Not sure if you'll ever see this but My joy conditioning memory moving forward will be my son being born. I would like to take this opportunity to thank you Mr. Jim kwik I’ve been struggling with TBI and memory issues since I was a kid, kinda like you. I struggled in school since I started teachers didn’t understand me and thought I wasn’t paying attention, or thought I was doing bad on purpose. I got yelled at alot and shunned the way, this ultimately made me not want to participate in school and destroyed my self esteem. I barely made it out of junior high and got locked up my first year of high school. I was put in the system and didn’t get out till I was 18. I managed to get my GED while in the system this is all in New York City /upstate New York. I then joined the Marine Corps and I spent 10 years there doing 3 combat tours. ttoday I’m out of the military and in school for nutrition and deitetics and find myself struggling dealing with some of the issues that I had as a kid. I’m having to do a lot of public speaking and as of late my anxieties been acting up. I had to do a speech the not long ago on COPD and totally blanked out. I knew all the material but lost everything when I got up there. It's different in the civilian world as I didn't have these issues in the military. There is no unity and constant judgment. I think this puts me in a higher vigilant state or just new territory. Either way my brain feels fried at times and I find my self looking at the mirror and seeing that boy I used to be, not being able to concentrate, or remember, or more importantly learn. Your videos are helping me so much to get passed that. From how to learn to what to eat your work and interviews are a blessing. Im saving to join your master class and whatever other work shops you put out. For now I'll absorb whatever free content there is. Your a hero in my book, thank you for what you do!!!
I struggle with many of the same things. You are certainly not alone. Thank you for being so transparent and teachable. It's a fantastic witness to a critical world. And thank you as well for your sacrifice and service to our country. I wish you all the best, achieving ALL you hope to, and more! 🙏✨🧩🇺🇲😊
Maybe it’s because of the season or because my 79 year old mother is taking anti-anxiety medication for the first time in her life, but my joy conditioning memory tonight is baking and decorating gingerbread cookies with her when I was a child. The smell is heavenly, even my memory… I will also add that my mother has taught fitness classes for over 40 years and still teaches senior fitness 5 days a week. She thought she was slipping into dementia, but the did an MRI and her brain looks completely normal. What set her into a mental spiral was a UTI! Thank you for you outstanding content. I’m going to do this exercise with her every visit.
My join conditioning is the smell of the flowers in May. I’m Catholic and i attend church activities with family. Made me feel so much closer with my family.
Thank you, Jim and dr. Wendy. I will teach these techniques to my 7 years old boy who gets anxious every time he sees a dog or a cat. It is pretty recent his sudden fear and no real incident lead to this, only a dream. I hope it will teach him to calm himself down, at least for the moment. I appreciate this short video. It is very informative. As of my joy conditioning memory, that would be a girls trip I took with my best friends before we all spread in all corners of the world. It was the last time we spent great moments together and it was 10 years ago. Amazing memories, these put a smile on my face no matter what. Thank you for your suggestions.
This is such a great and useful video for me. Thank you for the tools. One of my joy conditioning memories is swimming and playing with the sea turtles off the shore of Oahu, Hawaii Thanks again!
Thank you both! Deep breathing is key to reducing anxiety. I know this, but how easily I forget. Watching your presentation was helpful. God bless you!
Ppl DO know anxiety (flight, fight, freeze)goes way back to protecting us throughout our evolution. So what if you don't have a funny friend or memories of laughing or joy? Deep breathing makes me nauseous. Has since childhood. Still don't get how crippling anxiety is a superpower.
Does anybody on earth Know what the difference between Wendy Suzukis book "Anxiety is Your Superpower" and the latest one "Good Anxiety". honestly with the title of this youtube video it is even more CONFUSING?
