Ever felt trapped in a loop of constant worry? In episode 91 of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata takes a deep dive into the nature of worry and its impact on anxiety disorders. Drew unpacks the idea that worry is just thinking without action, debunking the myth that it somehow protects or prepares us for future challenges. Instead, he shows how it can actually harm our mental well-being if left unchecked.
Through relatable examples, Drew explains how worry differs from planning—where planning involves actionable steps, worry is just thoughts spinning in circles with no real outcome. He shares practical techniques like relaxation, breath-centered meditation, and mindfulness to help slow down the worry machine. These strategies aren’t about flipping a switch but rather about gradually easing the mind's grip on anxious thoughts.
Drew also emphasizes the importance of accepting uncertainty as a part of life, helping listeners to find peace in the unpredictability of the world. This episode is a treasure trove of insights for anyone struggling with anxiety or supporting someone who is. With Drew's empathetic approach and actionable advice, you'll find new ways to manage worry and move towards a more serene life.
