Breaking Free from Worry: Eric Zimmer's Mini Episode on The One You Feed
The best way to get peace is to focus on these things that we can control, and that observing our language can sometimes be helpful in understanding whether something is something we control or something we should accept.
Ever find yourself stuck in a loop of worry that seems impossible to escape? In this bite-sized episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer sheds light on why worrying doesn't actually help. Drawing from the serenity prayer often used in Alcoholics Anonymous, Zimmer emphasizes the importance of accepting what we can't change, having the courage to change what we can, and knowing the difference between the two. He also delves into Stephen R.
Covey's concept of the circle of influence versus the circle of concern, urging listeners to focus on what they can control. Worrying, according to Zimmer, not only drains our energy but also strains our relationships. He offers practical advice on taking actionable steps instead of getting lost in rumination and highlights the power of mindful language in distinguishing between what we can control and what we should let go.
This episode is packed with valuable insights for anyone looking to find peace and reduce the mental exhaustion caused by constant worrying.
