  Speaker 1: To chill you out and get you back on track, my tip number one clarity is your chill pill.

  Speaker 1: First up, clarity is king.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: Anxiety thrives in uncertainty.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: We all know that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: So the antidote is getting clear.

  Speaker 1: Write down your goals, your non-negotiables and your nice-to-haves clear.
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: Write down your goals, your non-negotiables and your nice-to-haves.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: Clear goals makes clear decisions easier and squash anxiety before it starts creeping in.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: To be honest, it also reduces a lot of arguments.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Now, number two call in the experts.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Next, that's your mortgage advisor, hello, lawyer, or even a trusted friend who's done this before.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Leaning on experts isn't weak, it's smart.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: Experts see patterns, risks and opportunities that you might miss, and having them in your corner is a major anxiety killer.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: You will feel more confident with the trusted voice in your ear letting you know what the next steps are.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: And tip number three cut the noise.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: It's a big one, right?
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Turn down the noise.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Auntie's horror stories, uncle Facebook's unsolicited advice and your cousin's neighbor's disaster mortgage they don't help.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Trust the pros and your gut, not the gossip.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Now number four control the controllables.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: You can only control what you can control.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Can you influence the interest rates?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Can you influence the market or what's going to happen?
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: But you can organize your paperwork, you can manage your budget, you can pay your payments on time and, best of all, you can boost your credit score by not missing any repayments.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Now focus your energy there.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: That would be my suggestion.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Let's look at the real study case.

  Speaker 1: Take it from Mike and Jess, who nearly quit due to anxiety overload.
• 2:50
