Intelligent Intoxication

In The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia To Find Your Path Forward, author Britt Frank offers four “challenges” to undertake in order to discern when you feel anxious in the presence of another person:

CHALLENGE #1:

• On one side of the paper list all of the stressful people with whom you spend time.

CHALLENGE #2:

• Make a list of all of the stressful tasks on your plate. 

CHALLENGE #3:

• Make a list of anything else that is causing you stress that is not a task or person (finances/work/health/etc.).

CHALLENGE #4:

• “My anxiety makes sense. Anyone in my situation would feel anxious. I may not even understand it right now, but I’m not crazy.”

I invite you to consider these questions:

• Which of these challenges resonated most deeply with you?

Intoxication Inventory

In The Science of Stuck: Breaking Through Inertia To Find Your Path Forward, author Britt Frank likens anxiety to an “check-engine indicator light in a car”:

“The light (anxiety) itself isn’t the problem - it’s a signal pointing you toward a problem. Trying to ‘get rid of’ anxiety is as counterproductive as trying to disable the check-engine light on your car.”

She offers these bottom-line takeaways (and I paraphrase):

• Anxiety serves as a check-engine light for your body.

Frank offers these “Do’s” for anxiety:

• Tell yourself: “Just because I don’t know why I’m feeling  like this doesn’t mean there’s not a really good reason for these feelings to be there.”

I invite you to consider these questions:

• Which of these takeaways resonated most deeply with you?

Intoxication Inventory

When you notice your mind chattering with Inner Critic fear, worries, what if’s, or worse case scenarios, try this:

• “I’m not available for anything that hasn’t actually happened.”

Or, try this:

• “I’m not available for anything that isn’t happening right here, right now.”

I invite you to consider these questions:

• When do you notice your mind offering you worries, what if’s, or worse case scenarios?

In this podcast and book, both entitled Anxiety Rx, Dr. Russell Kennedy offers a different perspective when it comes to managing what we refer to as “anxiety”. 

Here are a few of the takeaways from Kennedy’s work that have profoundly impacted how I manage anxiety and take care of myself:

Your mind gets fearful of the future and creates worries, what if’s, and worse scenarios.

Your body may hold onto past traumas in the form of A.L.A.R.M.S.:

• Abuse

When your body is in A.L.A.R.M.S. your mind tries to make sense of these physical sensations by creating intrusive, struck anxious thoughts. 

The only place to connect to your soul or most authentic self in the present moment. 

Our real work becomes regulating our bodies when triggered, giving ourselves what we need now or needed “back then”, and then learning to manage our Inner Critics in the present moment in order to clear the way to re-connect with our truest self. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• When do you notice your body experiencing A.L.A.R.M.S.?

“Be a curator of your life. Slowly cut things out until you’re left only with what you love, with what’s necessary, with what makes you happy.”

Author unknown

When we live a curated lifestyle, we intentionally live in a way that involves the purposeful selection of possessions, experiences, relationships, and people. 

I invite you to consider these questions:

• Which of your possessions are no longer necessary? Which do you no longer love? Which don’t you delight in or love?
