Hello everyone, today we are going to learn about process concept in operating system. The learning outcome of this session are, at the end of this session student will be able to define what is process, describe process states and process control block and explain what is context switch. Let us see the process. Why to study process? As we know, the early computer was able to execute only one process at a time. So that single process has the whole control on the operating system and its resources. But it gives very low performance of the computer. Nowadays, we require higher throughput so that the need of the operating system is maximum CPU utilization. Maximum CPU utilization means it must allow number of processes to be executed at a time in the system. This results in the nation of the process. So the process is nothing but program in execution. As we know, we can execute multiple processes like microprocessor world, web browser, music player at a time in the system. Each is nothing but the process. So process is nothing but program in execution and it is a unit of work in time sharing operating system. Process is more than program code because process contains program counter, processor register, process stack and data session. While the program is nothing but the set of instruction. So we can say that program is a passive entity whereas process is an active entity. Let us see what are different process states. As process executes, it changes its state. When process is newly created, its state is new. It shows that process is being created. Once process is created, it is admitted to the ready queue. Once it is admitted to the ready queue, now it is the task of scheduler to dispatch that process to the CPU. When that process is given to CPU, process enter its states from ready to running state. While running, interrupt may occur. To service that interrupt, process must switch from running state to ready state and operating system must service the interrupt. Similarly, while execution, input output event may occur. When an IO event occur, process must enter into the waiting state. When IO event completes, process enters from waiting state to the ready state. Then when process is in ready state, that process is schedule by scheduler and it can enter into the running state. When process completes its execution, its states is terminated. So all these are nothing but the process states from new to terminated. When process is created, its states was new and whenever process exit, its states was terminated. So this is nothing but the lifetime of the process and during its lifetime process undergoes in these different states. Now let us pause the video and define what is process and its lifetime. Does process states vary across operating system? Let us see what is process. Process is nothing but program in execution. As I already mentioned, the lifetime of the process is from its creation to termination. The second question was about the process states. Whatever the process states, we studied here that states are arbitrary and they vary across operating system. Means what? The different operating system may have different number of states. Whatever states we studied here that all states are arbitrary states of the processes. Now let us see about process control block. Process control block is also called as a task control block. Process control blocks contain the whole information about the process. If we have 4 processes running in the system, then we will have 4 process control blocks in the system. So we can say that there exist process control block per process in the system. Let us see the fields present in process control block. First field is pointer which points to the next PCB. As number of processes are present in the operating system, number of PCBs will be there. So pointer field is important in PCB which points to the next process control block of the process. Next field is process state. As we studied right now, the process states may be new, ready, running, waiting or terminated. The next field is process number. Each and every process in operating system have unique identification number. That number is stored in its process control block. Program counter, it gives the address of the next instruction to be executed. There are different registers, accumulator, index registers, stack pointer, general purpose registers. All these are used by the process when it is in execution. So the values of these registers are stored in process control block. Memory limits. It gives information about memory management, for example page tables, segment tables, etc. List of open files. It gives the list of files which are open by this process. Suppose you have a source code which contains file open function which open another file, then the process of this program will contain counter 1 for list of open files. Next is miscellaneous accounting and status data. This is nothing but the information about the usage of the CPU and the time constraint by the process. So as we can see here, the process control block contains each and every information about the process and this process control block is a dynamic structure because it gets changed as process executes and that is why process is called as an active entity. Let us see what is context switch. To understand the concept of context switch, here we will consider two processes exist in the system, process P0 and process P1. Now as there are two processes present in the system, there will be two process control blocks. Initially, suppose process P0 is in executing state, while execution interrupt may occur. So it is the task of operating system to service that interrupt or system call. So before servicing the interrupt or system call, operating system must save the state of process 0 into PCB 0 and as CPU never sit idle to get the maximum CPU utilization, operating system must reload the state of the process 1 from PCB 1. Now the process P0 enters from running state to waiting state and process P1 which was in ready state enters into the running state. Now as process P1 executes, interrupt or system call may occur. So now it is the task of operating system to service the interrupt. So it has to save the context of the process P1 into PCB 1 and it has to load the context of process P0 into PCB 0. So when operating system loads the context of process P0, process P0 starts executing and process P1 enters into the idle state. So as we can see here, whenever the process P0 was in execution, process P1 was in idle state, while when process P1 was in execution state, process P0 was in idle state and here saving the context of the process 0 and loading the context of process 1, this task of operating system is called as a context switch. Here operating system is switching from one process to another process. That is from process P0 to process P1, then from process P1 to P0. So this is nothing but the switching between two processes and this switching task is called as a context switch. So these are the references. Thank you.


The 2022 annual Southeastern Kentucky Chamber Awards night is September 27th. For tickets call<PHONE_NUMBER>. You can also watch live on the free Mountain Top TV app. Mountain Comprehensive Care and Homeplace Clinic will be holding their walk for recovery on Saturday, September 17th. This event is about September being a national recovery month, so we here at Homeplace wanted to create a fun field day to celebrate, congratulate, and honor all of those who have walked their path to recovery. The event will host live music and a food truck as well as activities for kids such as face painting. So we hope to bright the stigma around those in recovery and bring awareness to how important it is not only to those who have been in addiction, but also to the family, friends, and those who have been with them every step of the way. Registration for the walk will begin at 6 p.m. at the Preston's Brook City stage. There will also be a raffle at the end of the walk as well as awards given out. For Mountain Top News, I'm Kelsea Dean.

I don't know if my keywords were bad. I did not have a video in The description originally the person messaged me and asked me if The item worked and I was like well it did when I listed it like three years ago So I decided to add a video to the description Would it have sold sooner if I had that video in the description? I don't know maybe but Yeah, so I don't know. I thought it was gonna be like a home run and it wasn't took forever to sell These I got at a garage say I'm sorry a thrift store and a little lot of items. I Parted it out, but these two patches.

There's also woodsees, which is the target brand They are bigger the woodsees and they do look different But go into solds and study the difference between the two so that you know what to look for when you're outsourcing I do pick both of them up, but the Calico critters tend to do to do better and they're kind of flocked All right, this Disney land holiday antenna topper got this at a garage sale for $1 sold it for 28 The buyer was all in for 37 77 The next item I sold is this baby doll diaper It's a vintage and I got this at a garage sale for 50 cents new old stock And I sold it for $18 the buyer was all in for 23 80 The next item is this fallen flag replicas Chevy truck and it's just a little die-cast truck And I got this from auctions for you in a mystery toy box It was a hundred dollar box I do have the unboxing on my channel and I sold this for $12 the buyer was all in for $20 and 61 cents The next item is this vintage 1987 Santa's world the Wizard of Oz ten-man ornament. I saw this and I'm like totally getting it Got it at a thrift store for two bucks sold it for 25 and the buyer was all in for $30 and 80 cents this little dollhouse rocking chair if I remember correctly it came out of a Lot that I got it in a state sale a huge lot of dollhouse stuff. I sold this for $7 and 20 cents and the buyer was all in for 13 30 The next item I sold is this vintage Fisher price Sesame Street little people Ernie From the Muppets you guys he's got condition issues This came out of a mystery toy box from auctions for you Most of you probably would have donated this or chucked it in the trash Because it's got the condition issues and I knew that I could sell it and it actually sold pretty quick I did take a best offer of $8 and the buyer was all in for 13 15 The next item I sold is this Vampirina car. It's got lights and sounds I got this at a garage sale for $1 sold it for 15 the buyer was all in for 27 92 So stuff like this if you guys the shoeboxes the USPS priority male shoeboxes that you can get free off of the USPS website And in the store These are great for the longer toys. I know that most people ship shoes in them But I really like that size for stuff like this Just a little tip Barlow earrings these came out of my bulk buy jewelry lot I bought it on eBay to sell on eBay about 344 pounds of jewelry. I sold these for $12 the buyer was all in for 1665 This little Moana adventure canoe set. It's a play set and this sold super fast This also came out of a thrift store mystery box. I sold it for 20 bucks then the buyer was all in for 29 06 This Jim shore angel I Pulled it out of the box. This was an item that has been sitting in my garage forever and the wings were missing I found the wings. I hot glued them in and I just disclosed that and this sold really quick for $21 and 60 cents and the buyer was all in for 34 56 I probably would have priced this higher if It did not have the repair. So Jim shore again is a great brand I was talking about my bulk buy of jewelry the 344 pounds. I took a long break. I Haven't been going through it for probably over a year But I had a whole series on this channel if you want to go back and watch those Some of the boxes that had gemstones in them I invited moonstone mamas to come on with me and if you don't watch her on YouTube definitely check her out She's amazing super knowledgeable, but she helped me identify jewelry the gemstones So that video those videos I think there's probably five or six of them are super educational now I started going through the stuff again the other day. I found this really cool piece So in my videos that I'm doing today I'm wearing a piece of jewelry that I'm gonna list in my eBay store. So this is the one that I picked. I do have it Doubled up here. It's actually really really long. I'll show it to you guys if I can get it off here But go over to my sourcing with Bolo buddies channel and my reseller testing Bolo products channel and Turn on the bell because those are the channels. I'm gonna do the live listings on where I show the jewelry so it's some sort of I don't know if they're glass beads, but look they're really cool, but I don't know how to list it I don't know how much to list it for But this is a piece that I showed in one of my unboxings the other day So come hang out with me during the live shows. I also do working hangouts where I list live So be sure to check out the description of the video. I've got a bunch of links down there Resources that I use to help me in my business Great stuff. If you have any questions, feel free to drop it in the comments. Happy to answer Thank you for being here. Check out another video. They're gonna pop up here and down below I'll also link some stuff in the comments. Thank you for being here Thank you for watching and leave me an emoji of an owl in the comments. Thanks for watching


This hasn't been the best week for people who are non-interventionist or anti-war activists like myself Because there's been a number of really troubling developments And I think we all know that the first is that North Korea tested a missile now I don't necessarily think that this poses a threat to us However, we already know what's going to happen. The media is going to try to go Trump into being more hawkish and People within the administration John Bolton Mike Pompeo will probably try to Escalate now with that being said I actually have to give Donald Trump credit because his instinct here is actually correct him trying to pursue peace and Seeking out a diplomatic solution even if we all know that he's in over his head even if we all know that He doesn't really have the slightest idea as to how to actually achieve something comparable to the Iran deal with North Korea The fact that he's trying is important I'd rather him try even if it's a failed effort because I think that that's preferable to him threatening to bomb them on Twitter again Now as we all could have predicted the media is trying to portray Trump as weak since he's technically Allowing this to happen and since he's not really doing anything about it And of course, this is all just them pushing him to be more hawkish with regard to North Korea when Thus far at least for the better part of the last year and a half or so. He's been pursuing the correct Ideal, I don't want to say strategy because I don't think he really thinks strategically But nonetheless in not trying to provoke them. That's good But the media is trying to change that now on top of the North Korea situation the United States inexplicably sent aircraft carriers and bombers to the Middle East after Israel reportedly warned US intelligence about a quote credible threat that is posed from Iran Which gave John Bolton the opportunity to threaten them yet again saying that they'll be met with quote-unquote Unrelenting force if they attack us or one of our allies And the United States is responding in the way that we'd expect them to respond because you have a bunch of neocons in Trump's Administrations such as John Bolton who wanted to see Tehran quote liberated as early as 2019 So these are people who are psychopaths in Donald Trump's ear trying to influence him to be more hawkish towards Iran And now all of a sudden they're taking a very escalatory approach in Taking our aircraft carriers and bombers and putting them in the Middle East which essentially is them sending a message to Iran They're trying to intimidate Iran Now, what's the best method here in the event? They really are Planning something which they're not Israel has said this many times, but let's say hypothetically speaking Iran Does want to do something they want to attack US forces in Syria. What do we do? We talk to them. That's what you do rather than resorting to war rather than trying to look for reasons to overthrow their regime For a second time because we did this before Maybe tried diplomacy But see Donald Trump wants to try that with North Korea, but when it comes to Iran Which is the real goal for neocons in his administration He's just kind of letting them do what they want now another area Which is incredibly troubling with regard to foreign policy and international issues is the situation in Venezuela because as we all know The US is salivating over their oil reserves John Bolton said on Fox business on national television that wouldn't it be great if we got in there and we were able to have US oil companies take control of their oil reserves. Wouldn't that be amazing? They're saying the things that they're supposed to keep to themselves, but they're saying it out in the open So for months now, we've been trying to overthrow Maduro and install our Preferred puppet Juan Guaido who is going to play ball with us now What Guaido just did was he called for people to take to the streets in order to really show That he is a force to be reckoned with and Maduro needs to step down and really this was a message to the military Hey, I've got all of these people on my side. I've got the US government on my side So if you're going to choose sides make sure you pick the winning horse Turns out that failed So what is Trump's administration doing? Well, Mike Pence is now trying to convince the military with both a stick and carrot approach To abandon Maduro. Now, I'm gonna play the short Reuters clip for you that kind of gives you a brief rundown of the situation In a speech on Tuesday US Vice President Mike Pence will try to persuade Venezuela's military to turn on their leader That's according to a senior administration official who told Reuters that Pence's address at the State Department will offer incentives for soldiers to switch sides and Warnings to Venezuelan magistrates who don't people of Venezuela are seeking to reclaim freedom and democracy in their nation a nation impoverished by dictatorship socialism and oppression The US supported opposition leader Juan Guaidó's call last week to overthrow socialist president Nicolas Maduro But the White House watched him frustration as anti-government protests Petered out and Maduro appeared firmly in control of the armed forces The presence made clear that no option is off the table We the US administration repeatedly said it was considering different ways to achieve a peaceful transition of power But offered a few specifics Well, guess what now they're starting to get into the specifics because as Matt Laszlo of vice news explains With Venezuela still in turmoil after last week's failed military coup headed by opposition leader Juan Guaidó The Trump administration is scrambling to find a way to dislodge President Nicolas Maduro Some are talking openly about using the US military to assist Guaidó and his ragtag opposition And that has lawmakers in both parties worried on Sunday Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the administration is preparing for the option of using American armed forces for more than merely Supporting the drive to bring humanitarian aid to the hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans on the brink of starvation Now, please understand that when we talk about humanitarian aid when we talk about the suffering in Venezuela because of Maduro Media and the US government doesn't actually care about suffering and impoverished Venezuelans They're politicizing their suffering. They're also not giving you the full context They're not telling you that we're actually responsible for a large part of the instability in Venezuela currently Because back in 2014 2015 I think it was the United States government teamed up with Saudi Arabia and Israel to artificially drive down the price of oil Which undercut Venezuela which cut off Their revenue stream now in part it's idiotic that Venezuela didn't try to diversify their economy It was largely propped up on oil But nonetheless since they didn't since they were forced to compete with an international market They had to lower the cost of oil and of course that led to less revenue for their government Which led to political instability as the economy suffered because of that and then when there were mass Protests because of the political instability that we caused. Well, then what did we do? We imposed sanctions to punish the Venezuelan government for the way that they responded to the instability that we caused So we're part of the problem But yet we're saying oh we care about these suffering Venezuelans and we just want to get aid to them It's all a trick and I would love to say don't fall for it But a lot of people have already fallen for it So think about some of the broad themes here that we often see when talking about, you know, Venezuela when talking about Iran We hear about this concept of liberation and freedom and Democracy and we're also talking about taking preemptive action in order to address what is a credible threat to us That's what we're saying when it comes to Iran. Now. I want to play a clip From 2003 it's a compilation of Bush administration officials Talking about why we need to invade Iraq and this was before the Iraq war It was the lead-up to it and try to see if you notice any similarities in terms of the broad themes that they use then and If it's similar to what we're seeing now when it comes to Venezuela and Iran and the rhetoric with which we discuss these countries We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud The reed we get on the people of Iraq is there's no question But what they want to get rid of Saddam Hussein and they will welcome as liberators the United States when we come to do that The White House hopes to call for a vote on the deadline resolution early next week If it passes then by March 17th as a senior official Saddam Hussein will finally be out of final opportunities Even if it doesn't pass the president has left no doubt that he's ready to go to war sound familiar We don't want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud So we need to invade Iraq because they pose a threat to us Well, all of a sudden we're deploying aircraft carriers to the Middle East because Iran poses a threat to us according to Israel The people of Iraq want to get rid of Saddam Hussein What do they tell us about Venezuela? The people of Venezuela are taking to the streets. They're they're marching They want to get rid of Maduro. They want us to intervene. So do you understand all of the same themes are Always reused each time we want to invade another country and right now we're in that process where they're trying to build a case and legitimize this war effort That's what we're seeing in Venezuela We're now they're openly talking about a military option since the carrot approach hasn't worked So now we're moving on to the stick approach and we're seeing this also with Iran where we are intimidating them So understand what Donald Trump's administration is doing. This is nothing new. It's what we saw back in 2003 So I would like to tell you don't buy this I'd like to say that the US media is going to be educating people But essentially they're doing the bidding of these warmongers who want to invade these other countries now This doesn't necessarily mean that Donald Trump's administration will invade Iran or will invade Venezuela or take military action in either of these two countries, but do they want to? Yes, if they feel as if they have Legitimacy from the American people and if they can do it without taking too much backlash would they do it on? Questionably so the whole point of this video is for me to tell you watch what they're doing Because what we're seeing now is exactly what we saw in the lead up to the Iraq war and we know how that played out We know how Libya played out. We know how all of these regime change wars turned out Not great to say the least so don't let them do it again It's incumbent on us to stop them before another regime change war gets started


You guys know I love playing with man pages. Well a couple of weeks back I came across a really interesting script called macho and this fellow here named high fish He wrote this blog post sharing with the world his script for this macho Man page viewer and if I pull up a terminal here and I can actually show you guys what macho does Let me go ahead and run the script This is macho it is a man page viewer and if I just start typing maybe I'm searching for LS Or maybe I want to search through this fuzzy finder list here You see I get a preview window by the way Over here on the right side. It's really cool And if I just hit enter on whatever it is I'm searching for maybe I was searching for LS CP You know I could hit enter and I could actually read the man page of course cue for me to quit out of the man page So that is basically what the macho man script is it's man pages with a little bling If I go back to his blog post here You can see that what we're gonna do in the script and I will show you the script here in just a second But it's a very simple bash script or shell script He's writing it in POSIX compliant shell and it combines apropos man The grip said and alt commands the sort command fuzzy finder of course And if you wanted to you could even implement this in a graphical run launcher such as D menu and Rofi And I may do that as well. Let me actually show you what the script looks like So I'm gonna go ahead and open this in VM. So let me open up macho dot SH here on my system But let me open up a another terminal here and I'm gonna clear the screen and let me zoom in here So you guys can see exactly what's going on because I thought it this script is so interesting I thought I would explain to you exactly what this shell script is doing to get these really cool effects here You know in this macho man page viewer So the first thing we want to do is I think in the script the first thing the most important section is actually this Section here this function here manual equals and then it equals this very long command here apropos Piped into grip piped into awk Piped into sort piped into fuzzy finder and finally piped into said exactly what is he doing? Well, let's describe all of these commands first of all you guys know what the man command is man followed by a Program name gives you the man page for that program so I could do man LS and get the man page for the LS command apropos searches man pages for a string all your man pages So if I did apropos space and did I don't know man Let's search for all the man pages that have this particular string in them man and There is a bunch of man pages that have that three letter string ma in in it So we had a bunch of stuff returned one thing you need to know what he's doing here apropos dash s That is a flag as far as the sections of your man pages because when you look at a man page Let me go back to the LS man page You have sections you see LS and then in the parentheses here one that is section one and Just because it has section one there are a bunch of possible sections in a man page You could have sections zero through I think eight I'm a little fuzzy on what all the sections are but man pages have various sections and those sections kind of Define what that section is about for example if your section is about gaming and gameplay it will be in section Whatever, you know, it'll have a certain number that it should be in that man page So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna copy this entire function here in the terminal here and let's start One section at a time and show you exactly what is going on here So the first thing we want to do Apropos and the the period sign basically let's get all the man pages on the system returned in apropos He's doing a love something a little different than what I just did with apropos period You know, he's putting some other information in there But it's basically the apropos command and what he's doing is then piping it into grip giving it these flags lowercase v capital e and then he's doing this Regular expression here and what it looks like he's doing is he's gripping out all the apropos Output that is section zero. He's basically trying to get rid of everything that returns section zero Because remember the man pages have multiple Sections that are possible and the ones that have a section zero I Guess don't really have any useful information. So he's just gripping all of that out And let me clear the screen and then he's piping that into all and the alt command that he's doing here It looks like he is printing the second column and then he's putting some space between it And then he's printing the first column. So I hit enter basically it is Reversing what was there before I go back to apropos just piped into grip You see this is what it looked like before now We're all king just the first two columns and then we're printing the second column Which is the number in the parentheses first then we're printing the first column second hope that makes sense That's what he's doing with that alt command So he gets this list looking like that then he's gonna take all of that and he's gonna pipe it through sort and he's sorting this So he's going to have it in alphabetical order, of course or in this case numerical order because he's sorting the first column Which is the numbers so now you know, you're getting this sorted from zero through eight And there is also a n section as well in man pages So n technically is the last when you're sorting it alpha numerically here clear the screen one more time And then finally what he's doing is he's piping all of that into fuzzy finder So now this is fuzzy finder So it's the same that we got before but now it's piped into this fuzzy finder prompt So you can actually do a fuzzy search so I could start typing for something like LS if I hit LS Nothing happens because you know what we did here in the command line We really didn't tell the terminal here exactly what we wanted to do once we selected something But anyway, then finally what he is doing is he's going to take all of that Apropos piped into grip piped into all piped into sort piped into fuzzy finder And then he's piping this into said with this regular Expression here and what it looks to me like he's doing here is he's getting rid of some parentheses Remember all the section numbers the man page section numbers were wrapped in parentheses So you had one wrapped in parentheses or n wrapped in parentheses. He's getting rid of those parentheses now But that is actually not what happened there Let me make sure that I did that correctly I may have not pasted that correctly and looking at this I think I did actually copy it correctly It does pull out the parentheses the problem is when I run this command You see we're piping apropos into grip and to all into sort into fuzzy finder We're never getting to the said part because once I select something into fuzzy finder It maybe it runs the said command to get rid of parentheses, but it's not really outputting anything So we can't actually see what that's doing. So all of that is is working correctly That's the main thing I needed to explain in the shell script is what this is that defines manual here And then what we're gonna do is we're gonna get this manual return Whatever it is we choose in the fuzzy finder list and we're gonna run the command man on it So let me show you this in action once again So I'm gonna run that macho shell script here and again manual It will be whatever we select in this list from this function here The apropo grip all sort fuzzy finder said function and it's gonna run said last once we actually select something So if I type man for example, and I select it it's gonna rip out the parentheses from man for example right here I select that it's gonna return instead of parentheses one man It's just gonna return one man and what it's gonna do. It's gonna run the man command on that I hope that makes sense and it actually runs the man command on that because man will not run this right here That is what it would be if we didn't have the said part in there And of course that returns an error But if I get rid of the parentheses because we piped it through said after we ran the fuzzy finder and then we run man on What is returned in the manual function there? That actually works and that's the most complicated part of the script here is this last section It's actually the most important section of the script the top half here is Interesting stuff, but mainly like this section here is actually for the preview window So if I go back and run the script what you're seeing over here the preview window So if I started typing something, I don't know like Firefox for example or fire C of G You know you get a little preview window of the man page And that is what is going on in the top section of the script here now that is all interesting But what about piping all of this into something like D menu or Rofi? Well, you could do that as well So let me cancel out of that and I also have on my system this script here macho dash GUI dot shill And it's very similar to the script We just read the only difference is once we run this manual function, you know And we select something instead of piping it into fuzzy finder You see the next to last step instead of fuzzy finder is now Rofi in this case And I will show you this in Rofi and then after we select whatever manual we select from the Rofi menu It runs this command here which opens a man page it converts it into a PDF Very interesting and then it pipes it into whatever PDF reader you have on your system For me, I have Zathura on my system. So to show you this in action here I'm going to quit out of that and let's go ahead and run macho dash GUI here And you see it launches Rofi and I could do a search for a man page Maybe I wanted to read the man page on DD if I could find it here in the Rofi menu And once I select it it actually opens it in Zathura here And you see it converted the man page into a PDF and then immediately launched it into Zathura And I personally think that is fantastic I think that is just a really neat way to read man pages I may go ahead and try to incorporate that into my workflow as far as I have a man page prompt Actually, I have man page prompts in all of my window managers I think I have D menu scripts that will launch man pages search man pages for me And most of my window manager configs and in Xmonad Xmonad has a specific prompt built into it That you can use to search for man pages But I kind of like this this ability to convert it into a PDF first and then read the PDF I think that is probably the way to go now because I don't use Rofi You know, I use D menu what I need to do is I'm going to go in here and edit this a little bit So instead of Rofi, I'm going to pipe this into just D menu itself So all I really need to do is get rid of that right there I'm going to write and quit and let's run the script again And now I'm getting D menu at the top here and then I could search for something Maybe I wanted to search for I don't know the cat command arrow over to cat here and hit enter And I get the cat man page of course again as a PDF very cool Now for those of you that want to explore this particular blog post a little more than what I did here on the video because this was a very cursory Overview of what he did and all this blog post is it's just some examples Of scripting and I took his examples and I made them into my own little scripts here And that's what I suggest you guys do. I'm going to link to this blog post in the show description Again, this is basically a shell script and it can be your own custom shell script I mean you can customize it to your heart's content depending on how complicated you want to make the shell script You can really do do a lot with a shell script like this now before I go I want to thank a few special people I want to thank Michael, Gabe, Heplo, Nate, Corbinion, Mitchell, Entropy, UK, Arch5530, Chris, Chuck, DJ, Donnie, Dylan, George, Lewis, Omri, Paul, Sean, Tobias, and Willie These guys are my highest tiered patrons without these guys this episode you just watch about macho man I've got to be a macho would not have been possible The show is also brought to you by each and every one of these ladies and gentlemen All these names you're seeing on the screen. These are not the village people These are my supporters over on patreon without these guys this episode wouldn't have been possible if you'd like to support my work You'll find dt over on patreon. All right guys peace


It is 100% that you feel anxiety in your body, but anxiety is not a body problem. So we're gonna talk about that today on episode seven of Recovery Monday. Let's see who is popping in. We already got some folks showing up. Welcome back everybody. If you're new here and this is the first time you're joining, welcome to Recovery Monday. This is a little livestream that I do every week on Monday at 2 p.m. Eastern time. We are essentially teaching lessons out of this book, which is called The Anxious Truth. If you do not have this book, you can find it on my website at theanxiestruth.com. Every week we go through another lesson out of the book because the book is written almost as a course in anxiety recovery. And today we are up to chapter two, lesson three. We have many of these lessons to do. It's gonna take us the better part of the next eight or nine months to finish. So we'll be here pretty much every Monday doing this. Come back and join us. We always have a good time also. Let's put the chat up on the screen so you guys can see what each other is saying. We got Facebook in the house. We got Facebook group in the house. We got YouTube in the house. Everybody's here. If you are from my Facebook group, I can only see you as Facebook user. I'm sorry I won't see your name, but if you wanna tell me why when you ask a question, I can then see you that way. That's just the way Restream does it, sorry. So let's get into this. Again, this is chapter two, lesson three from The Anxious Truth and we're gonna talk about how even though it is 100% true that you feel anxiety in your body. You feel it in your body. There is no question about that.  You actually feel these things. So even though you 100% feel those sensations in your body, you feel a racing heart. You feel the heart to breathe. You feel all of those things. You feel the jelly legs. You feel the off balance feeling. You actually feel all of those things. You feel the tummy problems and the bathroom problems. Those are actual real feelings that you experience in your body. However, this is not a body problem. Now, I know that that seems like a real, like revelation to a lot of people because it makes perfect sense that since you feel it in your body, you would try to fix it in your body too. And there is no shortage of people out there, especially in the medical profession because they are body centric. So I don't blame them who will try to tell you that you should fix this based on what's happening in your body, right?  And there's just a ton of different ways that people will try to get you to attack this as a physical problem. So even though you feel the anxiety physically, this is actually not a body problem. It's a cognitive problem. We're gonna talk about that next week, next Monday, so come back for that. But I just wanna like really walk you through why it's really not a mystery that you feel it physically, right? So I love it. The brain is part of the body. That's a good point. It actually is. So very good, Ivan. Very good. So why does your body do this? Like let's validate that you actually feel these things. When you are afraid of a thing, and if you're in this room watching me right now, I think there's probably a really good chance that you are actually afraid of your next panic attack. If you're agoraphobic, then you're definitely afraid of your next panic attack. If you're trying to stop it from happening, if you dread it, if the feelings of anxiety themselves have become the things that you are terrified of because you think what they represent danger and that sort of stuff, then yeah, then you're gonna actually have, you know, you're gonna have a fear response.  It's still perceived as a threat. And when we are afraid, our bodies produce fear sensations. They produce fear so that's what your body is designed to do. So all it knows is that the amygdala is signaling danger, danger, danger, and it will therefore fire off all of those sensations and symptoms that you feel all the time. So that's why that works. It's not a mystery. It's not that your body is broken. It's doing something wrong. It's actually doing what it thinks is correct. It's just happening at the wrong time. So we always have to validate that you are actually feeling those sensations, but they are literally just fear sensations. They're threat response sensations that every human being is supposed to experience during periods of threat, right?  And that's the way that works. So there's no mystery that you feel anxiety in your body, but the issue is being afraid of the anxiety itself, which then keeps you on guard against it. And then you think that these physical sensations and the thoughts that come with them are dangerous. And so you remain on guard against them. And so you add more fear and then therefore you create that cycle of, I'm afraid of this. What am I afraid of? The sensations are the sensations here. I better watch for them. Uh-oh, they are more fear, which leads to more sensations. So you see how the cycle just goes and goes and goes. It's really nasty. It's a vicious cycle, and it's easy to get caught in it. And it's really, really common for you to think, well, clearly there's something wrong with my body and now I have to do this. I have to fix my body. But if you've been trying to fix your body for any extended period of time, you may wind up in a situation where you can't do it.  And it works maybe for a little while, you get a little bit of relief and then it doesn't work again. And it's this fragile thing and you're continually chasing, oh, it must be something with my HPA axis. Oh, I think it's my gut health. Oh, it must be my hormone levels. Oh, it must be this. And that becomes super frustrating. And in the end, really discouraging because since we can't, we're not, that's the wrong problem to try to solve. Then you can't solve it that way. So I totally feel you if you've been trying to solve the problem that way and you're here frustrated and wondering why can't I make this go away? Because in your head, you're thinking, if I could just stop these sensations, I'll be good. But that's the problem. You fear a thing, then you can. Unless you can stop it dead in its tracks, then you will always fear the thing until you learn not to fear it. So then you get into like much more extreme methods of trying to control your body like benzodiazepines and other medications that will just knock the symptoms away. And then suddenly when people who knock their symptoms away, see it's fixed. But if the symptoms come back because maybe the medication wears off or the dosage has to change, they find that they're right back in the beginning and it's really discouraging. And it's really, really disheartening to see. I understand how frustrating that could be. It feels like there's no way out. When you try to solve a body problem, that isn't a body problem. So it's really important to just understand that this is a natural thing that's happening in your body, just happening at the wrong time. That's the only thing that's happening is happening at the wrong time. And then you've learned to be afraid of that. Now, you could be afraid of the sensations, be afraid of the thoughts. So either way or both. So I'm going to interpret what goes into my head, and what I feel in my body as dangerous or indicative of some impending doom or threat, like this thought that I might go crazy means that I might go crazy. And so I'm afraid of that. So it doesn't have to just be a racing heart. It could be a bunch of other things as well that you learn to fear. The outcome of losing control or being permanently incapacitated, losing your sanity, having some sort of psychotic break, these are all really, really common things. So when I say it's not a body problem, I really also mean it's not, you don't have to try to find a way to stop your body from producing those thoughts either, right? Super, super important to understand all of that. So that's the deal. This is a really short lesson. It's not a body problem. And if you read the book, you'll see it's a quick lesson, but it really just takes you right through like, well, you know, afraid bodies, bodies in threat response mode produce these sensations that we just learned to be afraid of them and we interpret them incorrectly. And then we start that cycle where more and more sensations and more and more thoughts because we fear them so we make more. It's really kind of insidious. I hate it.  All right, so let's take a look at some of the comments. We get into comments right away. Hopefully this helps and will help. You know, I'm not trying to reassure anybody, but those sensations that you feel, you fear them because you think they are dangerous. But in the end, they have never hurt you. So there you go. So it popped through and I apologize for a little bit of that heavy breathing. I'm still not totally like done with this being sick thing. And for the record, I made a joke on Friday in the recovery room about having COVID-19. I do not have COVID-19. I just had just a really nasty cold.  So sorry about that. I know it's annoying. Let's go through and see what we have here. I'm gonna put this on the screen. I know that you were in the recovery room on Friday. I'm gonna put this to bed once and for all. Yes, one of the most common fear response effects that you can feel in a human body is gastrointestinal, right? Tummy problems, people vomit, people have diarrhea, people get constipated. Like it is one of the number one places in our body that we feel fear. We even have like common phrases for that. Where do you think phrases like butterflies in my stomach came from? So we don't even disagree on that. We actually have common phrases that describe that response. So yes, it is 100% true for many, many people. Now I wasn't one of them, thankfully, but many of you guys here, there's 65 people that right now watching, many of you guys here experience digestive, stomach, intestinal, bathroom related responses to fear. It sucks, I wish you didn't, but it's very, very common. Very, very common. So let's see, what does Allison say? What up Allison? I feel my anxiety, then I have to think why. Okay, so it's so hard to sit through this with a turn. Okay, so I think why. Here's right there, let me put this up on the screen. I'll try and catch up to the comments if I can, right? So Allison says, then I have to think why. Now yesterday on my Instagram, I posted about trying to figure out your anxiety. And one of the ways we try to figure it out is we try to find body-centric solutions to why is this happening? Why is this happening? The good news, Allison, is you don't have to figure out why. That thought of like, well, why is this happening? Means this seems dangerous. I need to find out why this is happening so that I can stop it or I can kill it. I could just stop it, dad. I can't have this happen. I think this is dangerous.  So I need to know why it's happening. And then we search for physical reasons for it happening and that's like super, super frustrating after a while. The brain is part of the body. Okay, even if it's always there, yeah, yes. So you know what? I'll just go through these really quickly. Even if it's always there, yeah. Even if it's always there. So people that have agoraphobia and panic disorder, people that have GAD, people have OCD, are often anxious all day long, all day long. So there's a really common misconception that somehow rather this is only I have a panic attack and then it's over and then I have no anxiety till the next one. Yeah, those things are always there, especially if you are afraid of them.  You're constantly scanning for them and so you will be afraid all the time, all the time. So again, what if it's always there?  It's gonna be there all the time. Tanja asked, even without feeling anxious? Well, it's a good question. I would argue, well, what's your definition of feeling anxious? So I know in your case specifically thoughts, when you have thoughts, you latch onto those scary thoughts, they scare you. So you might not necessarily be feeling the physical sensations of anxiety at any given moment, but at any moment something could trigger the thought that I know you are terrified of and that sends you down the spiral and then all the response things happen. So it's a chicken and egg thing in a way, but when you're always on guard against a thought or a sensation, then you're always on a hair trigger, always. So there you go. Let's see here. I see you saw my post about the rain, very good. Let's see here. Why have I not always had them? Why now? Well, just because. There's many different theories as to what may precipitate this. But once you get to the point where you are afraid of the next one, here I'll put up on the screen and I'm sorry, I can't see your name. But when you get to the point where you are afraid of these things and you are dreading the next episode and the next attack, then the why doesn't matter. The fear of the next episode, the next symptom is what's driving it now. So you don't have to know why. That's not required, okay? So let's see here. Yes, this is super common. I see Helen, Heidi is, sorry, Heidi, is, you know, this is residing with them. And thinking all of those things causes me health anxiety. So we interpret what our bodies are doing as somehow dangerous or that something is wrong. There's a defect, something is broken. I'm ill, I'm gonna, this is dangerous. You know, it's tough. So there you go. Let's see what else here. This is big, Allison, let's try and go through here. I need to stop checking vitals. Ooh, that's a tough one. I know people get trapped in that.  So I didn't have at the time, I'm not wearing an Apple Watch today, but I didn't have an Apple Watch or anything like that back in those days.  That was a hard habit to break because it just becomes a habit. And you do it because it feels like you're supposed to stay safe. But yeah, you really do have to, you have to break that habit for sure. How about lightheadedness? It's just another one of those symptoms, especially if you're going to breathe differently when you get anxious, which is really common. If you're gonna start to pant or over breathe, lightheadedness is part of it, right? We have common phrases for that too. Oh my God, I got the news and suddenly the room was spinning.  I won the lottery, like I got the phone call and the room was spinning. You wouldn't question it. You would understand exactly why they would say that. So how come in an anxious situation, you're like, well, why? Why is this happening? Well, that's why. Like that feeling of giddiness, Claire, we used to call it giddiness. They're kind of an older term, but that lightheaded off-balance feeling, that's just another one of those responses, all right? So let's see here. Dean's not here to laugh. I know, poor Dean, he really got the brunt of that in the recovery room on Friday, all the gastrointestinal chat. So let's see here. So our lying brain is telling the body to be unguarded until it becomes, yes, very good. This is good. Our lying brain is telling the body to be unguarded and it becomes a vicious cycle until we learn to do something with the fear. Yes, primarily not do. So the doing is kind of learning how to be non-reactive to it, to stop the trying to figure out, stop the reacting, stop the saving, the checking the vitals, the going to the ER, the calling the doctor, the calling for help. That's how we learn. Like, oh, that these aren't dangerous. These aren't dangerous. Okay, this is a really good point too. Thank you for this comment, Leah. My symptoms change. If I get to where I don't fear one anymore, a new one comes. So I did a video and if you check my YouTube, it's there called, is there a podcast about? I did that not too long ago, maybe in the last two months or so. And this is exactly why. This is why in this community, and those of you who are in the Facebook group probably hate me sometimes because they will not allow chat about specific symptoms. This is exactly why. We are never learning to deal with a specific symptom. We are learning to deal with fear. So when you get good at that, whether it's a heart symptom or a breathing symptom or a scary thought or lightheadedness, it doesn't matter. The principles are portable across all the symptoms. So those of you in my Facebook group have seen me say again and again and again, quite aggressively, your symptoms don't matter. None are special. You know what the scariest anxiety symptom is? The one you fear today. So for everybody, that answer is different. That's officially the scariest and most difficult anxiety sensation is the one you're afraid of today. Ask the question again in two weeks might be different. So we're never learning each individual symptom. That's tough, then you play with symptom whack-a-mole.  Oh, I have this problem, so therefore I have to do something to support my adrenal glands. Oh, I have this problem, so then I have to do something for sleep. When you do that, you wind up playing symptom whack-a-mole.  So you wind up playing symptom whack-a-mole. It's really hard to get out of that cycle. Another one will just come up. Okay, let's keep going here. How do you surrender to the fear of death? That hasn't killed you yet. There is an element of courage in all of this. I'll put it up there. That's what I used to think. I used to think that I was dying. That was my thing. A panic attack for me was meant that I was dying. So I just had to let it kill me. There is 100% bravery involved in that. First, you learn the psychoeducation. First, you get checked out. Your doctor says you're okay. Maybe 10 doctors say you're okay. I get you if that's true. Then you start to learn what this is, like in these videos or my book or the podcast or recovery room or whoever is helping you with this stuff.  So I'm going to have to face that fear. But there is courage involved. There's no way around that. There is just courage. So Tanya asks, is it true that the more you focus on the symptom, the worse it gets. I would say that the more you try to stop a symptom, the more persistent it tends to get. Because when you really like laser focus on that symptom and say, okay, I have to stop, I have to stop this hard stuff. This is crazy. I have to find a way to stop it. And believe me, I was guilty of that. I like bananas, but I was eating bananas almost obsessively for the potassium to try to make sure that I would never have PVCs, a regular heartbeat that was really frustrating. Because then I would eat bananas every day and I would still have PVCs and it would be like, what the hell is going on here? It was so frustrating. So it's not so much focusing on the symptom. Yes, that's true, but trying to stop the symptom. If you try and stop it, there's almost, there's a really good chance that it's going to just persist at you. So there you go. Sarah says a very cardiac aware. Yep. I started taking daily walks. See, this is really good for those of you who have that cardiac fear, which I had too, when you start to exercise, and I don't mean go out and run a marathon, like you don't have to break Usain Bolt's sprinting records to be effective. Just moving and exposing yourself intentionally to that heartbeat that you fear so much can be really helpful. Like you can start to acclimate again to the idea that your heart is designed to build, to beat. It's designed to beat. Like that's what it is supposed to do. So a typical example of a very body-centric approach to anxiety is trying to control your heart rate all the time. Can't do anything that makes my heart go fast. Got to stand up slow. Can't bend over. Can't tie my shoes. Can't do anything that might make my heart go any faster. All that stuff, not really good. Because what winds up happening is you're literally trying to turn off a natural bodily function. Your heart is an amazing machine designed through evolution and natural selection to beat. It's what it's supposed to do. Trying to stop it from beating is really difficult. Really, really difficult. So there you go. The skipped heart beats, as somebody says, I still get them now and then. I have PVCs now and then. Evidently, I'm told by multiple cardiologists that every heart does that. We just don't always feel them. Completely benign once you've been told that it's benign PVCs. I used to freak the F out over them. I would have one PVC and I would be done for three days. Like I'd be an anxious disaster for three days. Now I can literally have a PVC and I've said this before while in the gym. I can have PVCs with a loaded barbell in my hand or hanging over my face on a bench press and just keep going because they're not problematic. And you can learn that too. It wasn't easy, but there you go. This is a big deal. How can you tell if it's physical or just anxiety? Here's the answer you don't want. You can't, but experience tells you. So you're looking for 100% iron clad certainty that it is only anxiety and there is no such thing in the world. There's no such thing in the world. But experience can tell you I've had 7,200 panic attacks over the course of five years. None of it has ever been a problem. So I'm gonna have to go with that experience. I'm gonna have to let reality teach me a lesson here. Does that mean that it's in the odds are zero that something is wrong? No, that the odds can never be zero.  But what about this time? Cause anxiety will always tell you, yeah, yeah, but this time, this time could be the time that it's real. Right, I get that. Just gonna have to let it be real. Then it's not, then it's not. And trust me on this, when you get to the other side of this, I used to be in the same boat. Like I would think, you know, how would I know? It could be, but this time, it could be this time. This time it could be real. I used to have that same problem too.  They know when something is really wrong. Right now you don't. You just assume that something is always wrong. So you can't trust your assessment skills right now. They'll come back as you get better, right? So let's see here. Well, I'm gonna try and scroll to the bottom here because we're already at 23 minutes. So let's see. This is one thing that's important. Allison said, I tell my therapist, now it's good that you have a therapist, by the way, congratulations. Like I'm a huge fan of getting, you know, professional help. Probability versus possibility. Good job, Appalachia. Somebody is paying attention. That's true. I never realized how awful anxiety and panic. I tell my therapist every session. Now at some point, depending on if you have, you know, the right therapist, he or she is not gonna let you do that anymore. So it is not productive to go into the therapy room and just repeat again and again and again. This is scary. My heart was racing. I couldn't breathe. At some point, a good therapist will cut that off and say, you're not allowed to say that anymore. Now I know Danny is here from Australia. I didn't know she had that at Danny. If you wanna confirm that in your comments, she had that exact experience with a spectacular therapist in Australia that said, we're not talking about that anymore. Did not allow her to do that. It's important. If you're just going to keep speaking it again and again and again, you're reinforcing that cycle. So you have to learn that, like, I can't keep doing that. So let's see here. Whitney asks the deeper, this is also very common. Everybody hates DPDR.  I could still get it sometimes. Is it common for it to take a while? It's, yes, it's common for different symptoms to linger for different people. So there's nothing you could really do about that. Like it will come as it comes. You just keep going down the path and things will improve as they improve. Like everybody has those symptoms that just linger for a long time. DPDR was the tough one for me too. That's super common, but yes. But that's the thing. Okay, just so somebody said, I do that in therapy too. Really like a therapist that is really well versed in treating anxiety disorders, like panic disorder or gauraphobia or OCD, they will not let you do that. They will not let you just come week after week after week and recount your fear again and again and again. That's not helpful, right? It's not helpful. Hey, Laura's here. Laura makes a really good point. Take this to heart, please. This is somebody who is doing the practice. Take it from Laura. She's like running roughshod over this now. It's taken a long time, but yes, you gotta do the work and you have to be consistent with it and things will get better. Not as fast as you want them to, but we'll get there, right? I'm gonna do a podcast episode in the next couple of weeks called Are You Overlooking Your Progress? Where we can look at how do I know I'm making progress?   So we're gonna talk about that in one of the podcast episodes in the next couple of weeks. So let's see here. I'm almost at the bottom. This is good. And then we're gonna kill it.  I love the joking around.  I wish it was that easy, right? Wouldn't it be so easy? Look, no human beings into death. We all hate death. Nobody is into it. There's no death fan club around here. If you check, I don't think it's on my YouTube. It's on my Instagram. It's on my Facebook. It's in the Facebook group. If you check, I did a video about my experience with that death fixation and how that faded away for me, believe it or not, driving to the supermarket helped with my death fear because I just got, you know, I was so caught up in the thoughts and how I'm thinking and what I'm thinking and the fear and the fear and the fear that when I got better at relating to fear in general, I got better at relating to the fear of that thought too. And it just started to kind of fade away. I'm still not like rooting for death but like I also can think about it openly and talk about it. And it's almost an interesting topic sometimes. So there you go. Yes, Kate. And so I'm gonna do a progress podcast. Maybe the next two weeks, it will come out. Two or three weeks tops. So let me scroll down a little bit, try and get to the end here and then we're gonna wrap it up in two more minutes. 30 minutes is about my limit on these. Excuse me. Let's see here. Exactly. It's tough when they think you have H. Pylori. H. Pylori is a real thing, it's possible. Like somebody is talking about H. Pylori. H. Pylori is a real situation can cause some gastric problems and there's medication for that, it's a thing. But that's okay. It doesn't necessarily change the equation here. So you may or may not have H. Pylori but it doesn't mean you have to be afraid of your body, right? Does that make sense? So there you go. Symptom whack-a-mole. Everybody loves my whack-a-mole thing. I can't believe how many people actually know whack-a-mole. It's really funny. Let's see here. I'm living the banana obsession right now. Banana's an orange juice, dude. Like somebody told me that there was a lot of potassium in orange juice and I hate orange juice but I would drink orange juice by the gallon. It was completely ridiculous, man. I was getting a lot of vitamin C, that's for sure. But it was completely silly. It was completely silly. Let's see here. Scroll and scrolling, scroll. I'm just gonna try and skip to the end here. I'm never gonna get to all of these things. Helpful stuff, you're very welcome. Let's see here. Okay, somebody asked about journaling. I'll take that really quickly. Hey, Layla's here. How's it going, Layla? Let's see here. I know you're not a big fan of journaling but journaling helps so that you can look back in a few weeks. Yeah, okay. So I'm not, I am a fan of journaling. I love a success journal or an exposure journal. I'm a fan of that.  This is terrible. This is horrible. It was the worst day ever. I can't go on anymore. That's not necessarily a productive journal. Like a productive journal is like, well, this was really a hard day. I felt this, this, this and this, but I did this, this and this. And at the end of the day, I'm still standing. So yeah, I'm a big fan of like documenting reality. Like I did a post on Friday on my Instagram about mind over matter versus matter over mind. People will think, oh, well, this is recovered. It's just mind over matter. No, it's matter over mind. So journaling reality is a great tool because you can look back and say, well, I know what my brain was telling me, but what did reality actually show me? And if you journal and nothing happened, the end of the day entry, the last line in every journal entry is and nothing happened and nothing happened and nothing happened after a while. Like that becomes like powerful after a while. So there you go. So let's see, no, no, no, no. What else do we have? It's the time process. Okay, that's fair. Let's see. All right guys, I think we're kind of at the end of it here, about 30 minutes in. I appreciate you guys popping by. I wish I could answer all the questions. I just can't, I can't do it. I would love to, but I just can't do it. So I appreciate you guys coming by. Again, it's not a body problem. So just so you know, I'm gonna repeat it again. You 100% feel anxiety in your body. There's no doubt about that.  It's in your body. You really do feel these things except this problem is not actually a body problem. So that is the takeaway here. And again, this is a lesson straight out of this book. We're going right through this book. So if you wanna read along, you can get it. Ready? Yes, nailed it right there. My pointing skills are like ninja level 3000 now. Really good. Anyway guys, thanks for coming by. I will see you same time next week. Next week we're gonna talk about why this is a cognitive problem. So that's one of my more interesting chapters that I wrote. I like that one. I will see you next week. Keep commenting. If you're watching on YouTube, subscribe to my channel I suppose and like the video and do all that stuff. So yeah, that's me being really bad at this promotional stuff. All right guys.
