August is here! And I'm traveling like a pre-COVID jetsetter this month. So I'm going to practice what I preach and go a little easy on myself...and I'm hoping that this proves supportive and valuable for both of us. 🤗
First of all: make SURE you're subscribed wherever you listen to podcasts so that you don't miss the upcoming bonus series, a little something I'm calling Mindful Mondays. I designed these episodes to give you a short-and-sweet overview of mindfulness meditation + some ideas on how / why these practices really help to support those of us who tend towards anxiety. So tune in for those August 8th through August 29th.
Secondly, there are 177 episodes of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast out there and with that many, there are a few that have risen to the top as clear MVPs. This month we're going to revisit some of the most popular episodes (so far!). I find that hearing these things multiple times definitely helps...and it often lands much differently than the first go-around.
So, in that spirit, we're going to do another round of Worry is Not Love this week. I have been thinking about worry: What do you worry about? What does it look like when you worry? Does worry ever "work" for you?
Here are some common things I hear from clients:
I can't help but worry...
I worry about things I said or did in the past...
I worry because I think if I don’t worry, then the thing I’m worrying about will happen...
I worry about everything...
Sound familiar?
This week on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, we're going to break worry down and get specific with it.
And I'm going to offer you some practices to crowd the worry out...
Because: most of us worry because we love. But: worry is not love.
Text PODCAST to (816) 354-1279 and I’ll send mindfulness reminders, anxiety hacks, and little love notes your way from time-to-time…
