Hollywood's Anxious A-Listers

Johnny Depp? Amanda Seyfried? Kristen Stewart? Daniel Tosh?! Believe it or not, even the hollywood elite are human. All of the above struggle with extreme shyness and anxiety. 

Here are a few tips to stay young hollywood anxiety-free.

Sometimes, we get stressed when everything happens all at once. When this happens, a person should take a deep breath and try to find something to do for a few minutes to get their mind off of the problem. A person could take a walk, listen to some music, read the newspaper or do an activity that will give them a fresh perspective on things.

When facing a current or upcoming task at your entertainment related job that makes your anxious, divide the task into a series of smaller steps and then complete each of the smaller tasks one at a time. Completing these smaller tasks will make the stress more manageable and increases your chances of success.

Sometimes, we can get anxious over an event that we will have to perform in the near future. When this happens, visualize yourself doing the event in your mind. For instance, you have to perform in front of a large group of people in the next few days. Before the big day comes, imagine yourself doing the event in your mind.  By doing this, you will be better prepared when the time comes. Self-Visualization is a great way to reduce the fear and stress of a coming situation or event.


Another technique that is very helpful is to have a small notebook of positive statements that makes you feel good. Whenever you come across an affirmation that makes you feel good, write it down in a small notebook that you can carry around with you in your pocket.  Whenever you feel anxious, open up your small notebook and read those statements.

Most importantly, take a natural supplement. Hollywood is rife with examples of celebrities cut down in their prime and ruining their looks because they "self medicated" with drugs and alcohol. Choose a natural supplement that allows you to stay calm while also focused and productive. Researchers at A2X Anxiety have formulated just such a compound. Take a look at A2X and remember that everyone goes through the same emotions you are experiencing, even hollywood royalty!

What Is The Cause Of Anxiety

Anxiety and Depression? GABA could be the culprit:

The next advance in treating major depression may relate to a group of brain chemicals that are involved in virtually all our brain activity, according to New England researchers.

This research shows that compared to healthy individuals, people who have major depressive disorder or Generalized Anxiety Disorder have altered functions of the neurotransmitter GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid). According to the research, individuals with the most treatment-resistant forms of illness demonstrated the greatest reductions of GABA levels in the brain.

Many pharmaceutical medications attempt to correct chemical brain imbalances by boosting levels of serotonin and dopamine.  However, many patients do not directly benefit from these medications, especially if they are struggling with depression related anxiety. The research findings build on the idea that some current medications do not help many patients because those drugs don't affect the GABA-related brain chemistry. In a sense, many of these mainstream pharmaceuticals are treating peripheral symptoms, rather than the true cause of anxiety.

Keeping the car out of the garage

 Going about our daily lives is a lot like driving a car. We need that spark for the ignition, and we need the accelerator in order to get anywhere. However, the brakes are also a crucial aspect to driving and have to be applied at almost every phase of the process.  Some of our neurotransmitters apply the spark and the gas to the engine, and GABA supplies the brakes. GABA provides the necessary inhibitory effect that we need in order to block out excessive brain activity that in depression may lead to excessive negative thinking.

A2X attacks the source in a controversial way

The researchers at A2X Anxiety have formulated an all-natural compound that attacks this elusive neurotransmitter in a controversial way. A common belief is to treat deficient GABA with a direct increase in GABA; however this approach can not only be ineffective, it may also be dangerously counter-productive. Supplying the brain directly with an infusion of GABA may create dependency on the product that provides that infusion. It may also lead to permanently lowered levels of production of GABA. A2X works with natural herbs that work with your body to stimulate the brain's natural production of GABA, avoiding both dependency and dangerous side effects.
