Today's QuestionHolly: Beautiful conversation! Just discovered your podcast. Especially loved the parts that touched on capacity switching. We can be more fluid and switch gears with fluidity when we are feeling safe and can drop into the present moment.

What's up everybody, it's Josh Trent. This is Wellness + Wisdom, the place where we always look at the 5 sides of ourselves. What are those sides? Why are they important? What brought you here?
You read the title, there's something in your heart and soul that got you to this place and it's this mastery concept of physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and financial nourishment or starving of yourself.
We call this the Wellness Pentagon and on these AMAs, they're called to ask me anything. They actually could be Ask Mar Anything because Mar's my co-pilot and I just realized that AMA has your letters in the title, Ask Mar Anything.
Mar is our content manager. I am the host of this podcast. We've been going for almost a decade, which is crazy. It's fricking crazy to think about. But I've come across so much wisdom that I'm happy to share with you and Mar on her own spiritual path...
[04:50] Depression + Anxiety...Anxiety comes in and it says, you should fear the future. You should ruminate on the future. Which really, I believe from my own work, that anxiety is essentially just a lack of self-trust that you'll be able to handle whatever the future brings.
I know that's a new twist on anxiety, but if you're experiencing depression, it's the opposite, right? It's this rumination, this marinade on how you fucked up in the past or what happened to you instead of for you.
It's this pulling you in the other direction out of the present moment. And I feel like whether it's anxiety or depression, both, they both come from the same place, and that is fear. And I'm not trying to reductionize this, although it sounds pretty reduced. It really is this simple.
And in these 7 practices that we're gonna go over, they are simple, but it does not mean that they're going to be always easy, right?
Because a lot of this, all of this comes from self-love. Like Mar, the things we're gonna go over today, and they're really actionable, like these are awesome things. Can somebody do any of these if they don't actually take a breath and choose to love enough to do it in the first place?
Possibly not, I would say. I've been there. I've been in that place where I wasn't choosing myself, I didn't love myself enough so I made choices that were not right for me.
And I did make the intent to do some breathwork and do some meditation, but it was so hard to do that. I was pushing myself, forcing myself to do it, but it didn't really help me at that moment.
Yeah, that's a good point. That's a really good point. There are some moments where we choose to be it until we see it, not fake it until you make it.
You can, even with the overwhelming anxiety and depression that somebody might be feeling, you can still set an evidence point outside yourself that you are, even if you don't feel worthy of it, that you are worthy of it.
In other words, you don't have to feel worthy or feel loved in order to push yourself to your edge, to your uncomfortableness.
[10:15] 7 Steps to Stop OverthinkingThis question is from @HollyZ9458 on YouTube. What did Holly say? She says:
Beautiful conversation! Just discovered your podcast. Especially loved the parts that touched on capacity switching. We can be more fluid and switch gears with fluidity when we are feeling safe & can drop into the present moment.
That's a good point, isn't it? She said this keyword, drop. So I always, and this is reverse engineering, whenever you hear something that you would to have that you don't currently have, or whenever you hear a problem, the answer, the love, the solution, is always 100% of the time encapsulated in the very question itself.
I have never seen this prove me wrong. So if our goal is to drop into the body and drop into the present moment, then what are the ways in which we allow ourselves to be pulled out of it physically, emotionally, spiritually?
So just, that's actually the path. And in the finance world, I heard somebody talk about this. I think it was 1 of those 2 big investors from Berkshire Hathaway. He was like, I always reverse engineer my life.
I think about what are the things that could pull me out of the good and into the bad or the uncomfortable, and I just plan accordingly.
So, Holly, this is beautiful because yes, you remind us that it's our loving responsibility to drop, stop what you're doing, and drop into the present moment. So the first thing I'm gonna talk about today, 1 of 7, is to stop overthinking, stop overthinking.
Step number one is to breathe. It's so funny, we were searching for something here in the studio, I don't know if you remember this, and it was like right in the studio. I forget what it was, and I'm like, how many times have we been searching for something?
Oh, you were looking for keys and you were holding them in your hand. Yes. Mar's like, where's the keys? And she's holding them. How many times do we hold something in our hand or is the answer right under our nose, but we just don't stop and drop and be aware of it?
This is what breathwork is. It's right under your nose y'all. With me, take a big breath in through your nose and fill your belly for 2 seconds. Breathe it out. Do that 3 more times while I'm sharing with you.
There is a bounty of content at JoshTrent.com/Podcast, search "breathwork." Probably 50 different pieces of beautiful, beautiful episodes and content that'll with you why I believe breathwork is the beginning of everything.
I think if you're really wanting to embrace the now, you can't hold your breath. You just can't, it's impossible...Leave Wellness + Wisdom a Review on Apple Podcasts
