I once heard that you can't be anxious and thankful at the same time. This is because the part of your brain that controls these emotions is the same. Weather that's true or not, I don't know, but when I'm anxious, I start thanking God for this, that, and everything else and it actually does seem to help. So when the above caption talks about how gratitude balances your energy field and calms the nervous system, I completely agree! If anyone reads this....next time you're anxious or nervous, immediately start being thankful (in your mind or out loud) for absolutely anything you're thankful for and see how your focus and nervousness start to change. It works for me and it may work for you too!😊

Hello I'm Monique. I love to hike in the summer and snowboard in the winter. I have 2 daughters, both teens now, yikes! I'm at many volleyball, basketball and softball games supporting my kids and love watching them excel at whatever sports season we're in. One interesting fact about me is I'm a twin! (And my twin had twins! How I dodged that bullet, I don't know but boy am I thankful!!) 🏂🖼️❄️

@Dianna Lee Sam Great to have you here Dianna!😊

I listened to this video, put the suggestion into practice and it worked like a charm!! Whenever I'm initially met with a specific angry person (I have someone in mind) I used to always think "O great here we go again with the bitching and complaining". And when I thought like that, I know now that my body language, tone of voice, etc all change for the negative when I start feeling the eye-roll emotions surface. After this video though, when met with the anger and complaining, I just agreed with this person's anger and complaining and sought a solution for this person for what I thought was best. When I did this, the angry person went on griping, but we were able to have a conversation about it without it turning into a full blown argument and feelings getting hurt. Thanks for the video Barry!

Hi Emerald, I hope you are doing well today! I just want to say that you are not alone in feeling anxious and sad and all those emotions that you're not even sure of. I struggle many days to stay positive and wanted to let you know you're not alone! I used to feel very alone in my feelings because I'm very good at isolating and not letting anyone in which is not always the best way to deal. I can spiral downward so quickly it's scary. I take comfort knowing others can relate and I love hearing stories of overcoming the anxiety and sadness because if others can see a glimmer of light in their circumstances, I can too. This may sound odd because I'm newer here, but when I get anxious now, I think of you, and Jade C, Dr. Sherry and Grayson. I know they are rooting for me, and they are rooting for you too! Hope you have a wonderful Sunday💕

Ok that's creepy to me because I've dreamt of nuclear detonations in the US! Potassium Iodine tablets - just saying!😉

I've heard too that everyone dreams, it's just that many people don't remember their dreams. I'm curious if this is true because I don't think I dream (apart from the 2.5 years I did, lol) Maybe I do dream nightly and just don't remember!
