The Story: Address, Overcome, and Transmute your Anxiety
In the last few months, many people around have been feeling an increase in their anxiety, and may not even know the cause. If you’re nervous, your mind can run away trying to find justifications, and that can lead to a downward spiral – nerves leading to fear, combining into anxiety, imagining awkward situations, and so on.
You don’t always need to know the causes to feel anxiety, and as it turns out, many times you don’t need to know the causes to solve it either. In this episode, Kurt goes through some perspectives and techniques to help you address, overcome and start to transmute your anxiety and other emotional problems into something beneficial.
Topics discussed include:
- Pranayama or breathing exercises
- The importance of being open-minded
- Dropping anxiety like a weight
- Coping mechanisms and thriving strategies
- Tech detox
- Meditation – mindfulness, seated, walking
- The way you think
- The power of language over your state of mind
- Black and white thinking
- How to stick with a habit
- How resistance to anxiety causes you to become more anxious; and
- Having a little faith
