Summary:

In this episode I talk about a how you should start making changes and how to do it. I discuss how age isn’t something that should hold you back from going after the things that you want in your life. I also mention how perception vs reality is very different as I’ve noticed on many occasions.

I reflect on this video from Joe Rogan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YTuElM6T50w about being the super hero of your own life.

In this episode, I talk about how we can use exposure and disclosure as part of our recovery from anxiety.  By leaning into fear and not feeling the pressure to keep it locked down we can begin to release its grip.

Summary

In this episode I talk about how typically all our needs are met.  I believe this ties into anxiety in a big way as we're often focused on what we don't have instead of what we do have.

Here is a link to the Leo Babauta article:  http://zenhabits.net/tsukubai/

Here is the link to the Mark Manson article: https://markmanson.net/everything-you-need

In this particular episode you will learn:

- Things in life will come and go but it's important to believe that things will work out in the end

- If you lost everything today and had to start again you'd actually be ok

- It's not the people or objects in life that make you happy, only you can do that

- We are often looking externally for a solution but it's actually within us

- How our needs are met with food, water, people and shelter etc

- Why a gratitude practice is so important

- Do we really need all the stuff we consume 

Here are the rituals from the Leo Babauta article: 

  1. Wake up and say a little prayer of thanks for what you have in your life.
  2. Keep a one-paragraph gratitude journal every evening.
  3. When you meet someone, bow to them (in your mind) out of respect. You might touch your heart or offer them a smile if that helps.
  4. When you eat, say a little prayer of thanks to everyone who made your meal possible (farmers, cooks, transporters, their families, etc.). Appreciate every bite if you can.
  5. Before you start a new activity (a work task, a workout, a meeting), pause and ask yourself what your intention is for this activity. Is it focused on helping others?
  6. When you are done with an activity, show respect for others, your environment and your equipment by respectfully and mindfully cleaning up, instead of rushing to the next activity.

Summary:

This week I discuss something that I like to call the Anxiety Afterglow. The moment when you've just leaned into your fear and achieved something significant, just overcome some adversity.  In that moment of brief euphoria we must bookmark that and capture it.  This allows us to build confidence and belief in ourselves.
