Episode notes

If worry is the old habit, we can take a moment and just feel into our bodies. Is it on the right side or the left side? So that in itself, did that spark any curiosity for you? Yes, I would say it puts me in a different state. Curiosity opens us up. And it's interesting. It doesn't change what I'm worried about, but putting me in a better state means I have to deal with it.

Addiction psychiatrist Judson Brewer, M.D. (author, Unwinding Anxiety) explains the surprising connection between bad habits and anxiety. Dr. Jud and Greg discuss how fear, worry, and evolutionary origins contribute to addictive behaviors and cycles. They explore specific techniques and a step-by-step process to effectively reduce anxiety.
