Field Report: I Tested 4 Anxiety Techniques So You Don’t Have To (You’re Welcome)

from Field Notes

This week I tested 4 anxiety techniques…two from a Harvard-trained life coach and two from Old Ma.The methods:• orgasm (did not happen)• contemplating death (surprisingly helpful)• building a “sanity quilt” (tiny habits that actually regulate you)• visualising your perfect day (emotionally risky)Some worked. Some absolutely did not.Main takeaway:👉 You don’t fix anxiety with one big breakthrough👉 You fix it with small daily things that make life slightly more bearableAlso:• no one is thinking about you as much as you think• you will be forgotten (freeing, not depressing)• and stroking your dog is genuinely medicinalIf you feel constantly slightly on edge, overwhelmed, or like your brain is doing too much…this episode is for you.🧠 What you’ll get:• realistic anxiety coping strategies• small daily habits that actually help• a brutally honest test of popular techniques• a reminder that your life doesn’t need to be perfect to be good⏱️ Chapters00:00 Testing 4 anxiety techniques01:00 Why orgasm didn’t make the list02:00 Thinking about death (and why it helps)04:30 The “life in weeks” reality check05:00 The sanity quilt (best one)08:00 Tiny habits that improve your day10:00 The perfect day exercise (spiral warning)11:30 Final thoughts + what actually worked📲 Follow me on Instagram:@[email protected]🔔 Subscribe for more:Weekly experiments in:• anxiety• self-improvement (without the cringe)• modern life• and trying to function like a normal personFollow along to see me desperately trying in real time on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rosehoneymorgan/For podcast clips and BTS stories: https://www.instagram.com/actuallytryingpodYoutube: www.youtube.com/@rose.honey.morganFor brand enquiries: [email protected]***DM me with your Guru & Granny questions on Instagram*** Hosted on Acast.
