Anxiously ruminating or worrying requires an internal focus: “But I’m worrying about my kids, or people I care about,” the worrier tries to argue. “I’m not focusing on myself!” Well, you are. You focus on your version of events, your particular construct, your perceptions. In this episode, we talk about how a genuine external focus leads to a disconnection from one’s own compelling (and often stress-driven) narrative. 

Here is the earlier Flusterclux episode that Robin & Lynn mention in today's show: https://www.flusterclux.com/a-reminder-for-silliness-and-the-power-of-play/
