Welcome to episode 390 of 'The OCD and Anxiety Podcast' by Robert James Coaching. In today's episode, we explore the impactful role of time in our lives, particularly when trying to manage and overcome disorders such as OCD and anxiety.
Together, we look at how to make up for 'lost time', focusing on the resentment and frustration that may arise from believing that these disorders have stolen key moments from our lives. However, it's vital to remember that focusing on the past too much can prevent us from enjoying the present and blight our future.
This podcast emphasizes the importance of managing our perspective, especially when dealing with mental health issues such as OCD and anxiety. It emphasizes resilience, positivity, and a growth mindset, along with practical techniques such as postponement and exposure.
Remember, being present in our lives, even when anxiety and uncertainty are present, can open the door to beautiful, unforgettable memories. In this episode, we learn how to do just that. We learn to acknowledge our past struggles without allowing them to dictate our future experiences.
We also consider the damaging effects of perfectionism and how we can temper it for a healthier, more balanced life. It’s about appreciating life’s moments as they come, letting go of the need for 'perfect' experiences.
Join us for an engaging and insightful examination of time, living in the present, and learning to navigate anxiety and OCD in a healthy and positive manner
