This Is How You Release Your Anxiety | Quality Over Quantity

Welcome to the Daily Stoic Podcast, designed to help bring those four key stoic virtues, courage, discipline, justice, and wisdom into the real world. You worry, you get stressed, you want to get there early, you want it to go well, you don't want anything bad to happen to your loved ones, to you, to anyone. In the tunnel vision of your anxiety, these are all the things that you can think about. They consume you. They change you.

They overwhelm you. But can you, right now, in the calm of morning, when you are not anxious, take a minute to step back. Think about what your anxiety costs you. Think about it honestly and painfully. Think of the arguments it's created.

Think of the dead time it left you with at the airport. Think of the things it made you say no to, the things that might have been so much fun. Think of the reputation it gave you. Think of the damage it has done to your relationships, to your self-confidence. to your ability to enjoy life.
