This Is How You MOTIVATE Yourself, and Turn Your ANXIETY, Depression and FEAR Into Power | Jay Glazer

“Be proud of your scars. Be proud of the stuff that has knocked you down. Be proud of the crap, the adversity that you've gone through and it didn't break you. You came through the other side of the tunnel.” - Jay Glazer They say you shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. This is especially true for Jay Glazer - and for his latest book: Unbreakable: How I Turned My Depression and Anxiety into Motivation and You Can Too If you’ve been watching Jay on camera over the years, you might find it hard to believe that, under the surface, he lives with an almost daily struggle with anxiety and depression. But he doesn’t let it keep him down or stop him dead in his tracks - instead he uses it as fuel for his relentless drive and motivation. In today’s interview, we go deep on the importance of loyalty, being of service, and the importance of learning to build yourself up from the inside out, rather than looking for validation only from the outside. If you’ve ever struggled with anxiety and depression and felt like you had to “fake it” to get through the day, this one’s for you. Likewise, I especially recommend that you check out Jay’s new book, Unbreakable: How I Turned My Depression and Anxiety into Motivation and You Can Too: ⁠https://amzn.to/33CWuXf⁠ SHOW NOTES: 00:00 | Introduction 01:22 | What Drove Jay to Endure Years of Hardship 06:44 | Authenticity, Loyalty, and Helping Others 09:52 | What “The Gray” and “The Blue” Mean to Jay 19:52 | Jay’s Journey to Find Happiness 27:59 | Merging Vets and Players 34:04 | The Origins of Jay’s New Book 39:39 | Helping Others Not Feel Alone in Their Struggle 43:40 | The Balance Between Toughness and Caring Follow Jay Glazer: Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/JayGlazer⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/jayglazer/⁠ Support MVP (Merging Vets and Players) here: ⁠https://vetsandplayers.org⁠ Order your copy of Unbreakable here: ⁠https://amzn.to/3qrXhDa⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
