#29 Anxiety isn’t Fear


Listen Later

Surgeons, text topics you want me to cover here.

As a society, we are collectively dealing with an epidemic of anxiety. And no, we can’t just calm down.

In today’s episode you will learn 3 important characteristics of anxiety

1. Anxiety lives in the left hemisphere, which has been strengthened by cultural messages

2. Anxiety is contagious

3. Anxiety must be replaced, not erased


We are all born with a powerful force within us that we can use at any time to melt our anxiety and solve problems: creativity.


Creatively calming anxiety is a 2 step process:

1. Be kind to yourself (like really though)

2. Ask your brain: What can I create from this situation?


For more, check out Martha Beck’s book, Beyond Anxiety as well as Jill Bolte-Taylor’s book Whole Brain Living and Gavin DeBecker’s The Gift of Fear
