The Anxiety Trap
In this episode I talk about what I call the "anxiety trap." This is the pattern we fall into when we ruminate. We feel like the more we think about something, the closer we'll get to a solution. But this is rarely the case. Learn to turn inward and focus on those uncomfortable feelings. Anxiety will pass if you allow it to.
