(AUDIO) FLORIDA GEORGIA LINE’S BRIAN KELLEY SHARES HOW HE HANDLES WORRY AND ANXIETY

CURRENT SINGLE: “Long Live”

The last eight months have been difficult for just about everyone, and have caused a lot of worry and anxiety about both the present and the future.  Brian Kelley (BK) and Tyler Hubbard of Florida Georgia Line know that they are blessed, but they admit that they have experienced worry too during this time, and BK says, “I think we both have found a lot of peace of mind and body and soul and everything in exercise, workin’ out, yoga, trying to stay active. Definitely think that helps out with worrying and just getting, maybe a little anxious.”

Before learning to use physical activity to calm his worries, BK says, “I used to beat myself up about worrying some, and I’ve gotten better about it, but I think when you’re thankful for the things you have and the things that matter there is a little bit of a good worry because you don’t want to lose that.  You wanna keep working hard.”

For those experiencing the bad kind of worry during these times, BK recommends staying active to combat some of the physical effects of stress, but he also says encourages people not to keep it bottled up inside.  He says, “Call a friend, call someone you need.  But worry can get the best of you.  It’s a daily fight but you’ve just gotta trust God, trust yourself and get out there and get it.”

Something else that might be a good stress releaser is listening to FGL’s brand new original Christmas song, “Lit This Year,” which they just released on Friday.
