The Anxiety Podcast

Summary: In this rerun episode I talk about how 85% of the things we worry about never happen.  I talk about examples of this in my own life and share some practical tools and examples of how to stop worrying.  In this episode you will learn: “My life has been filled with terrible misfortune.

If you can fix it, don’t worry about it” (8:35) Things that seem huge in the moment, will seem irrelevant in the future (11:21) Ponder how many times you’ve gotten through it (12:00) Let go of the worry and be present (13:05) "If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.” - E.
