Stop Solving Fiction: Overthinking, Anxiety, and Living in Reality- Episode 18

from Tripping Over Myself the podcast · host Gerard Bradbury

Stop Solving FictionWe spend half our lives trying to solve problems that don’t actually exist. In this episode, I open up about how my anxiety began—not with reality, but with the "fiction" I created about myself and the world.I talk about the trap of replaying "harmless" thoughts until they become unsolvable problems, and how we can stop feeding the internal scripts that drain our energy. If you’ve been carrying bitterness, resentment, or a story that isn't true to who you really are, it’s time to let it go. Reality is simpler than the comic-book scripts in our heads.In this episode:​ The moment anxiety turns reality into fiction.​ Why we beat ourselves up over stories that aren't real.​ How to stop pestering yourself with imaginary problems.​ The simple truth: Change your thoughts, change your life.Visit my website at: trippingovermyself.com
