110. Using Focus to Ease Anxiety

Over here, we're officially into the final quarter of our virtual school year (omg we made it) + the boys' golf season started this week (yay, outdoors!) + we're tentatively making summer vacation plans (hello Chicago and Devils Den Park)...the hope is STRONG for a post-pandemic world in the McCormick household!

So...what are we up to on The Transforming Anxiety Podcast? This week's episode is all about FOCUS...

...specifically using focus to ease anxiety. Because one of the most fertile breeding grounds for anxiety is when we splay our energy every which way. We wind up feeling fragmented and exhausted...which just feeds that anxiety monster.

So, what can we do? I'm laying out a simple 3-step framework to help you practice FOCUSING in the interest of easing up on that anxiety. It goes like this:

1. Stop - whether you're feeling the first inkling of anxiety or you're in deep, it's a signal to *stop* so that you can...
2. Cut - cut the story, cut the drama, cut the extra, cut the control and...
3. Act - because peace and calm and steadiness aren't coming for you, you have to go out there and grab 'em

Join me for this week's episode to learn all about easing anxiety through focus...
