We need anxiety to perform. We need anxiety to survive. We need anxiety to be at our best. The problem is that when we have too much anxiety, we're not at our best, and in fact we don't do a whole lot other than sit in our heads and our guts and say: oh, I'm pretty anxious
Ever feel like your anxiety is taking over? In this episode of 'Brandler Bits', Jeffrey M. Brandler, a seasoned therapist with over three decades of experience, dives into the often overwhelming world of anxiety and fear. With his unique blend of empathy and expertise, Jeffrey breaks down these complex emotions and offers practical tips for managing them. Using the bathtub analogy, he vividly illustrates how anxiety can overflow and create chaos in our lives.
He emphasizes that while anxiety is a natural and necessary emotion for survival, too much of it can be harmful. Jeffrey warns against the temptation of quick-fix solutions like addictive behaviors, which might offer temporary relief but ultimately worsen the problem. Instead, he champions healthier coping mechanisms such as exercise, meditation, and even hypnosis. By changing our thinking and actions, Jeffrey believes we can take control of our anxiety.
He also introduces the serenity prayer, a powerful tool from 12-step groups that helps individuals accept what they cannot change and find the courage to change what they can. This episode is packed with actionable advice and relatable metaphors that make understanding and managing anxiety a bit easier. If you're looking for practical strategies to tame your anxiety and lead a calmer life, this episode is a must-listen.
