Doing Nothing (About Anxiety) Is A Good Idea | Podcast Ep 305

[@dianakern6529]

I am in active recovery. It is so hard to learn to surrender and soften when the thoughts and body symptoms rise. But I loved this episode. I may listen again and again. Willfully tolerate takes practice. I tried to reason, talk to, etc., etc. and it may work short-time but it does get one to recovery. I am trying!! 😊😊

Thank you Drew and Joanna, a great episode which is motivating me to go back to my MBSR audios from a course I took a few years ago.

My mantra with anxiety is "fuck it". That is my Wu Wei Wu. Works every time to empower me.

Do you have any episodes on taking pharmaceuticals, supplements, CBD, etc. to ease symptoms?

For many of us meditation is just more time to marinate in our own negative thoughts. I’d rather move my body than sit on a cushion

[@yannickrousseau931]

Acceptance methode is meditation you let your mind do wathever he wants and stay in the present moment without chating with the negative toughts

How to not do nothing when you lay in bed in fear of that you won’t sleep and you’ll be miserable another day and never get the sleep that you should be getting? 😢 I’m really struggling to understand this lesson

[@yannickrousseau931]

Focus on a sound and let your mind race but stay with the sound

Hey there, sorry to hear how it is. I can relate at times. The summary I would give: Do nothing to fix the anxiety (or other MH stuff). Rather, as hard as it is and with whatever baby steps necessary, do things that you would like to do (or if that is hard: things you would like to like doing). Over time, this can be beneficial. It can be very hard work, which depending on how you’re feeling, can “feel” so hard.

I was there buddy for months, you’ll get over it , trust me not sleeping can’t kill you , you have to learn how to create space from your thoughts and feelings

[@sianpost2]

Challenge those thoughts , say to yourself " if I sleep I sleep , and if I don't then so be it " and mean it Its a game changer

[@user-om6wy7xl9i]

Thank you…. In your meditation practice, do you use do a guided or unguided meditation ?

[@TomTom-nj8dr]

Does this channel help with any kind of anxiety? Like insomnia for example ?

[@pepechavez9347]

Very bad episode, no tips or clues how to achieve the "do nothing" they just keep talking about their on experiences and personal stuff!

[@totalsweetheart2000]

I agree! This is the first episode I’ve watched. Are they all like this? What a waste of time!!

[@rebeccaxx145]

Wait can you tell us what your terrible breakfast was?

[@AnitaPerrine]

Stop trying so hard!
