Episode notes
Feelings Are 90-Second Waves
- Feelings are physiological waves that build, crest, and fade on their own in about 90 seconds.
- Thinking about or labeling a feeling converts it into anxiety and prolongs it indefinitely.
Shift Into The Body, Not The Mind

- Hold the feeling for its brief duration and let it run its course instead of solving or analyzing it.
