"It is a lot harder to contemplate the future and to experience existential dread when you are grounded in the moment," she says. "We have to learn to become comfortable with uncertainty, with our fear of the unknown." To get to this point, it's important to reflect on times in your life when something unexpected happened,. Something beyond your control, and you survived. Bring that acknowledgement into the present day.
This week on the podcast we discuss the experience of worrying and overthinking the future. From anticipatory anxiety, the the illusion of control, paradox of choice and self preservation, anxiety about the future has a lot of psychological origins that we will unpack in todays episode to try and find freedom from future spiralling and embrace the moment.
