Small shifts in how you talk to yourself can have a big impact on anxiety. In this episode, we explore self-talk as a practical tool you can use in real time—during stressful moments, throughout the day, and even at night.

At the center is a simple technique:
 • Thinking in the third person
 • Speaking to yourself with distance
 • Writing to create clarity

But it’s not just about calming down. We also explore self-transcendence and awe, and how zooming out can change your emotional response. A simple framework, with real-world ways to make it part of your daily life.
