In Our Nature

How That Anxious, Restless, Unsettled Feeling Is Originally Created (Clue: It’s Nothing to Do with You)


Listen Later

It's the first episode back after the summer break and I can't wait to talk about horrid feelings with you. 

Join me for an exploration on the birth and evolution of anxious, restless, unsettled feelings, and how understanding this helps ease their ickiness so we can return to peace.


This episode will  meander through: 

  • A long intro vividly describing my anxious thought storm while on holiday 
  • A reminder of the relationship between thoughts and feelings and the outside world
  • When it's relevant to look at the content of thought itself, and how understanding this transforms our relationship to it
  • An expedition back through history to the origin of our horrid thoughts 
  • This will include mentions of anxiety, productivity, overwhelm, being busy, hustle culture, rest and more
  • How understanding the creation and evolution of thoughts helps us see them as less personal, giving us more opportunity for freedom and ease 
  • Metaphors and comparisons include the climate and soil, soup and croutons and a couple of bad jokes 
  • Anxious Alice asks how this historical and evolutionary exploration of thought content reconciles with the orthodox orientation of 'looking upstream to the source of thought'.  Isn't she a wise little squirrel?
