07. Develop Healthy Coping Strategies to Break the Downward Spiral of Depression and Anxiety

Listen Later

When you’re caught up in depression, anxiety, or fear, it can feel like those emotions define you. But emotions are not your identity—they’re simply data. Like a ship’s compass, they give you information about where you are, so you can navigate toward where you want to go. In this episode, we’ll explore how to step back from negative emotions, see them as signals rather than labels, and use practical tools to shift out of the negative cycle into a more positive one. You’ll learn how to gain distance without judgment, interrupt the downward spiral by cultivating positive emotions, and discover the hidden benefits even in life’s struggles.
