I would like to get your perspective on how did I exactly play with the reader's emotions, if I just shared my personal story and just gave suggestions on how to deal with stress at work? I am mentioning my program at the end of the article, after I made sure to provide value to the reader...
Since my original post, I also included a disclaimer that people don't need to buy my program in order to overcome anxiety and what other things they can do that might help.
I hope it all makes it clearer now. Thanks for the feedback!
So I am curious, it seems like you didn't get any value from that article. Do you have some suggestions that might benefit others or some feedback for me? Thanks!
Lol, I have am no affiliate to those apps, I just thought it will be valuable for people to get free 30 days premium instead of none. I can take out the links all together. I don't make any money from that :D :D
I also, included a disclaimer that people don't need to buy my program in order to overcome anxiety. I assumed it was clear in the article, but I guess not, so I added that too. Hope it helps :)
At first I was dismissive of your message and I didn't see your true intention behind it. I have taken some of your feedback and made some changes to the copy. I believe emojis and some words weren't really fit...
EDIT: I also, included a disclaimer that people don't need to buy my program in order to overcome anxiety. I assumed it was clear in the article, but I guess not, so I added that too. Hope it helps :)
This must be one of the best advices that I saw here!
I completely agree on letting a job just be a job. We are so much more than our work.
A phrase I was practicing a while ago was: "I am not my work, my family or my friends". I would repeat it a few times over and over. It helped me a lot to detach myself from my worries/expectations about work, friends and family.
Agree on the caffeine intake. It has made a huge difference in my life! There are people who drink coffee and it doesn't cause them to feel stressed, but often times, coffee wil have other side effects like messing up your sleep.
I prefer to drink coffee occasionally and for daily, I would choose a green tea or something like Chamomile, does wonders!
I would suggest to get a therapist. Don't overthink it and don't search for the best one. Just find someone to share what you are going through. Sometimes it can be even a good friend. It will help you a lot to take this rock of your chest for now. I didn't try BetterHelp, but people talk good things about it and it might actually be the fastest way to reach a therapist depending on where you live. If you can't afford a therapist, I recommended in my article to try "Woebot Chat App". It really helped me when I didn't have the money to afford a therapist!
But this of course won't just fix your situation right away. You will need to change some things in your life. Sometimes even your identity in terms of who you are and what you do daily. Maybe change your environment, cut toxic friends, etc.
It's a long way, but trust me, there is light at the end of the tunnel. Even, if it sounds cliché!
Feel free to email me at: [email protected]. Sometimes just sharing with someone what you are going through and knowing there are people who listen can make a very big difference!
HAHAHA, I got back to my old schedule now, but without the suffering part that I was in. I was heavily inspired by The 4-Work Week and it works for me very good!
I am sorry that you didn't get any value from reading my article. I only mentioned the program at the end and it's something optional if the reader is interested in. I am not forcing anyone to buy my program and also not saying that you can only overcome anxiety if you buy my program. The heading "How to overcome anxiety?" comes with tools and practical tips that helped me on my healing journey. If you have some recommendations on what helps you with deal with stress, etc., I would love to hear it as it will probably be beneficial to others too. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the suggestion! I believe I gave enough tools and practical tips that someone can try and apply in their daily life for free and I was doing that before with my podcast too while not charging anything. I can see your concern, but I also don't see anything wrong with offering something while charging money for it. If the suggestions in my article helps at least one person to feel a little bit better and motivated to start incorporating some changes in their life, then, I accomplished my goal and I haven't charged anyone for anything. The program is optional, I didn't mention anything about it until the end after sharing my story and what helped me. But I can see your point!
Totally agree on the The Body Keeps the Score. It was a hard read at the time as the author described hard scenes which I would start feeling anxious just listening about them, but it was necessary for me to understand how is the trauma stored in the body and what to do with it. I totally forgot to add this book in my recommendations. It's added now. Thanks!
I agree, you don't have to pay for my program $75-$150 to overcome Anxiety. You can totally do that with a Therapist or by yourself, which in my case was a combination of both, but also I went through some anxiety programs that gave me information that the Therapist didn't gave me at the time even when working with multiple ones.
I also believe I gave enough tools and practical tips in this article that someone can try and apply in their daily without paying me anything as I am happy to share with them for Free as long as it helps even 1 person. I also was doing that with my podcast while not charging anything. But, I can see your point of view tho!
Breaking a habit is usually very hard, so kudos to you for stopping. Everything should be in moderation. Alcohol/Coffee can definitely backfire. And taking a break from them even for a short time can make such a huge difference. It will give you that extra mental energy to get on things that can actually benefit you like exercising, meditating or anything else that will be beneficial!
