How I dealt with my anxiety and productivity

First a disclaimer, this is my story & experience, however, it's something I firmly believe in & research seems to prove most of it.

On to my story:

Now, when I think about it, I felt confused for most of my life. Not fully following the conversations, getting the joke late, being in a state of anxiety thinking others are judging me. Not being proactive or participating in conversations as a result. So, I've dealt with anxiety for years. I could never focus on a topic for long, racing thoughts & day-dreaming (my favourite past-time).

All I knew was that this is not normal & I need to get myself out of this, somehow.

The first person who was making an impression on me was Tony Robbins from his youtube videos. While I would watch his videos & make notes, I felt there was an initial step I couldn't get over, the dread & the continuous state of anxiety I was living in.

That was until I came across youtube videos of Dr. Pankaj Naram. I became obsessed with watching videos & how he had treated so many people using only herbs & sometimes seemingly really silly body presses. He was so much in demand in US, Germany, back in India.

Then, I discovered that Dr. Naram’s team visits London every year & I immediately signed up for the next one. I met one of his disciples called Dr. Giovani, a very kind, gentle soul of a man. I started taking the herbs he prescribed & I purchased. Having watched all those videos, I had already started eating salads & veggies.

It took a few months, however, the difference was day & night for me. The most significant feeling was losing that sense of continuous dread.

I think then the Tony Robbins videos started making more sense. One that I particularly remember is where Tony says that you have to be a guard at the gate of your mind. You are responsible for filtering the thoughts that get through & that you can ponder on. It's not easy & I still fight the intrusive thought (as everyone is), however, I think it is getting easier and easier, by the thought.

So, what's the point of this post? I saw so many posts on Reddit asking for help with anxiety, doom & gloom, so, I decided to write about my experience.

It's 2026, if you want to improve yourself:

• The first thing you can do is improve your diet. You are what you eat, after all.
• Control your mind, particularly try as hard as you can to control what you ponder on. It's hard, very very hard at the start & you will fail, however, your mind will slowly learn.

All of this heavily influenced my development of AimHigh.life, where I felt the need to have both habits & tasks management within a single app. And I supplemented with best-in-class insights & analytics with the motto:
