Reclaim Your Life: Using Externalization to Overcome Struggles
Once we externalize something, we don’t have to take it so seriously. When we have problems that are inherent to us, often we feel the need to take our problems super seriously, but once they’re externalized, we can start to have a sense of humor about it again, and humor is one of the strongest and most effective tools in dealing with our problems.
Feeling overwhelmed by your problems? What if you could kick them out of your head and see them from a distance? In this episode of 'Thoughtful Mind with Tzvi', host Tzvi Hilsenrath dives into the concept of Externalization, a transformative technique that helps you separate yourself from your issues. Imagine turning 'I am anxious' into 'I am dealing with anxiety'. By externalizing your problems, you create space to tackle them more effectively and regain control over your life.
Tzvi explains how this approach can be a game-changer for anyone dealing with mental health challenges, addiction, or everyday stress. He discusses the benefits of viewing your problems as external entities, making them easier to manage and less daunting. With a mix of practical advice and relatable anecdotes, Tzvi guides you through the steps to apply Externalization in your own life.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, or just the daily grind, this episode offers valuable insights to help you reclaim your sense of self and move forward with confidence.
