I really hope that you enjoyed this episode. I needed to hear this stuff. You're not alone. So this is just your reminder to turn around, take life easy and to treat anxiety the way it's supposed to be treated. If there is someone in your life who needs to hear this, there is a friend who is worried about these things, you should send them this episode. It might help them out. And as always, we will be back on Tuesday with another episode.
In our 20s, we face an increasing sense of pressure to reach certain important, life milestones, such as getting into our first relationship, graduating university, finding our career path, getting engaged and so many more. When we don't meet the expectations or the timeline that society gives us, we can feel like failures and begin to self sabotage or ruminate on our faults and flaws. This week we're going to explore the psychology behind milestone anxiety - the experience of stress and unease when we haven't achieved certain milestones by a certain age - why it occurs, the influence of social comparison and conditioning, how we can combat this feeling, practice self compassion and be excited by our own journey through life, and our 20s. Listen now.
