Anxiety has plagued me for a long time. I didn't know I wasn't feeling normal, my ruminating mind focused instead on the pain in various areas of my body. My thinking was irrational, believing I was a dead man walking I didn't want to go to a doctor. I collapsed at work after over a year of feeling like I was being choked, my lead hand and supervisor had called a driver to take me home because I couldn't breathe.
Eventually, with the motivation of a few TEDx talks and support from my wonderful family, I began to forge a new perception of life. Studying stoic philosophy and learning mindful meditation helps me identify many of the negative patterns in my thoughts. I work a physical job, my coworkers are familiar with the sight of my dancing. Life improved dramatically across the board for me in such a short time!
The physical pains that made me believe I was dying have all but vanished.
The sensation of being choked took a little while to fade, but plague me no longer. I've found a beautiful, compassionate girlfriend that makes every day brighter as well!
We all have stories, humans are fascinating - shaped and molded through so many experiences. Leon, thank you for sharing your story!

My son's 3rd grade teacher got all of the, "behavior problem" kids every year. His trick? They went outside & played a game &/or ran races a few times a day. My son learned from this teacher how to deal w/his life issues e.g.: rage, anxiety, improve concentration & better his mental health. He's 25 & uses exercise vs Rx to feel better. I'm so grateful for this teacher & people like you to help us understand how important movement is for the mind, body & soul!

My movement is boxing. It engages my whole body and mind and the level of mental and physical fitness needed for boxing puts you way out out of the danger zone for depression and anxiety. sometimes when I shaddowbox I can feel the force of life itself moving with me. Nothing gives me more pleasure than boxing. It is something I just love to do.

1 this is the best ted talk Iāve ever seen. 2 my own experience mirrors that of the speakers experience. In 2017 I was given tranquillisers to cope with my fathers sudden death. After coming close to totally losing my mind I started running every morning. I ditched all the medication over 12 weeks and havenāt been on any since. I still run every morning and the difference itās made in my life has been extremely positive. Without it I donāt think I would be alive today.
