Bye Bye Panic

Chasing Comfort Feeds Anxiety – Do THIS Instead


Listen Later

I used to think the goal was to feel comfortable again. If I could just get back to that version of myself who walked into any room without a second thought… everything would be fine.

So I waited. Waited to feel ready. Waited for the fear to shrink. Waited for the right moment to push myself.

And the longer I waited, the smaller my world got.

What started as skipping one social event turned into avoiding entire days outside. Even basic things — driving, grocery shopping, meeting a friend — felt impossible. Not because I didn’t want to… but because every cell in my body screamed at me to stay safe.

That’s when I realized I was playing the wrong game. I kept thinking comfort was the finish line, but it turns out… it was the trap.

This episode breaks down what changed everything for me — the mindset shift that helped me stop waiting, start moving, and finally build real momentum in recovery.

There’s one specific thing I started doing that flipped the entire experience.

It will be shared inside — tune in now!
