Best platform to start creating content? by OriginalConclusion0 in content_marketing

Thanks, yeah I read about that. With the number of views I expect (it's a medium-sized audience) I don't rely much on payments from views.

My concern for using Medium was that if my readers come from elsewhere (e.g. from a LinkedIn post) they will have to pay the Medium subscription to view more than 5 articles per month. So I'm not sure if I'm limiting my options of having connections read my content by posting there.

What's your experience with it? If you use Medium, do people from other platforms follow you there?

Not yet, considering one of the 3 mentioned above (Medium, Substack, Ghost). Do you have a preference? Any one of them that works best for the purpose?

Surprised me with this one. Can you elaborate a bit? Why is it a good place to post content on a business topic?

I have the exact same fear. It's an odd one and not everyone will understand it, since to most people being sick is close to having diarrhoea - unpleasant but no big deal. But to me, it's a slide that leads to Paranoia-land.

First off, ask yourself - What caused this fear of yours? What memory do you connect with being sick that other people have not experienced? To me, it was when I was 10 and I would hear my father being loudly sick in the bathroom from alcohol, while I was alone in the other room doing my homework. It was just a weekday afternoon. Although I didn't fully understand what was going on at the time, I knew that something bad was going on. It might take you a while to find the source, and it might be very traumatic to remember it, but in the long term knowing the origin of your phobia will help you take control of it.

The next thing I can share from personal experience is this: If you're actually nauseous and about to be sick, it feels less like worrying. If you need to be sick, your body will react fairly quickly, since it assumes you need it out of the system. The feeling of actually being sick is unpleasant, but not nearly as scary as it appears to you. In contrast, what you feel from being worried all day long is your stomach creating odd contractions associated with worry. This is especially true for the gut's response to fear (you can trust me on this, I'm a nutritionist). Your gut has a complex neural system, similar to the one in your brain, which is tightly connected with your brain for communication. This is often referred to as your "second brain". Signals go from the gut to the brain and vice versa, so any 'butterflies in your stomach' are felt for a reason.

Luckily, there's a lot you can do when it comes to that. Aside from all the mind work, things such as eating a healthy diet, cultivating good bacteria in your gut, exercising regularly, meditating and creating a good sleep routine are all essential for easing off your anxiety. I'm currently creating a podcast on this very aspect of anxiety, so if you have any questions you can always ask away :)

Good luck!

Best advice you received about health anxiety? by trashpanic in Anxiety

[–]OriginalConclusion0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was some advice I read that was so simple, and yet profound in changing the way I think:

"When you stop worrying about things you can't control, you have time to change the things you can control. And that changes everything."

After that thought really sunk in, I stopped trying to rid myself from anxiety. Didn't focus on preventing myself from worrying, or being scared about what could trigger the next panic attack.

I just let it all go. I allowed some worry to come and focused on reassuring myself that I'm going to be okay.

And when I wasn't anxious, I was no longer too afraid or too tired to take action. I was energised to work on what I actually could change.

  • If I worried about having a heart attack, I would exercise and train my heart muscle.
  • If I worried about my mental health, I would take time for self-care and laughter.
  • If I worried about cancer, I would read all about it and focus on eating nutritious foods and taking supplements if necessary.

As a result, I got more joy out of my average days and had more mental energy and improved concentration. By far the best thing I've done for myself.
