Breakdowns, anxiety triggers & creating new habits with Jake Ibbotson

Stillness Everyday

Today’s guest is Jake Ibbotson, who is the owner of Ibbotson Designs which offers digital designs for businesses. To start off the ep, Jake talks us through his journey to how he got into digital design and how he started his business and then dives into how he suffered from a severe and prolonged anxiety driven breakdown 2 years ago and how he overcame it. Jake’s triggers for his anxiety are mostly centred around alcohol, in which most people with anxiety or depression unfortunately turn to as a coping mechanism, and led Jake to another anxiety attack more recently. However, with determination and support he has made changes to ease the anxiety including challenging himself to stay sober for 3 months and implementing a more healthy and active lifestyle. To finish off this week’s episode, Jake and Herodotos chat about routine and habits and how meditation and breath work can be incorporated into routines to help anxiety through silencing the mind and finding moments of stillness.
