How Stress & Anxiety Run Our Lives & Creating The Solution

Stress, anxiety, worry, fear, all have a way of taking up a lot of our time and vitality if we let them. But we often try to “deal” with these by masking the symptoms. We’re a Bandaid culture that doesn’t often like to take the time to go a little deeper into the core of WHY we feel stressed, anxious, worried or scared. In this episode I talk about how stress plays out in our lives, how we tend to deal with it and how we can deal with—or, be with (listen to the full episode to see what I mean by this)—it, in a different more useful way. We spend so much of our lives worrying about the future rather than being in the present with ourselves, cultivating a healthy relationship with ourselves and discovering that true inner peace isn’t dependent solely on the external but primarily on our state of mind and state of being. “Stress isn’t what is happening to you, it’s how you are responding to what’s happening around you.” Stress, therefore, is a mode of thinking, behaving and reacting to life’s circumstances. The good news is, we have “control” over our state of mind and being. It takes some discipline, courage, patience and compassion—we have to be willing to put in the work. But eventually, once we create a consistent daily practice, we’re no longer at the mercy—the tail wagging the dog—of our behaviour. The practice of being with our experience and showing up for ourselves with presence, becomes second nature and life becomes a lot more easeful. Tune in for more….
