We really dive into how we tend to overcomplicate everything in our lives. It's wild how we make things more difficult than they need to be, especially when it comes to our thoughts and feelings. I share some straightforward ideas on simplifying practices like meditation and mindfulness to help reduce anxiety. It's all about realizing that sometimes, we don’t need to do anything with our thoughts or feelings; we can just let them be. So, join me as we explore how to take a step back, breathe, and not make everything into a big story.

We complicate everything. Very often we don't need to, and when we choose not to we can reduce our anxiety. In this podcast I give you a couple questions that will help you to find a little more balance in life. My website StevenWebb.uk

Takeaways:

  • We often complicate our lives by overthinking simple situations, which can increase our anxiety.
  • Finding ways to simplify practices like meditation can help reduce stress and improve well-being.
  • It's important to recognize that we don't always need to react to every thought or feeling that arises.
  • Life’s challenges can be viewed as opportunities to reset and improve, rather than burdens to bear.
  • When faced with difficulties, we should ask ourselves if we are overcomplicating our responses to situations.
  • Recognizing that not every thought needs action can create mental space and reduce anxiety.
