It seems like anxiety is a plague of contemporary life. Anxiety is a feeling generated from our habit of constant access to an overload of information and entertainment, and the fear of missing out (FOMO in today’s internet shorthand). We’ve lost our appreciation for stillness, for quiet moments of appreciating beauty and the delight of presence in the moment. We check our phones constantly; when we have a little time, we often open up a game or puzzle, rather than noticing our surroundings, or chatting with others. When we keep our minds racing through a thicket of thoughts, we start to feel the pressure of a busy mind. Did I miss something? What have I forgotten to do? Is that my phone? I need to check my texts. Exhausted mind. Anxiety.
Hi there Christine and Judy,
Thank you for your podcast. My sister-in-law and I are huge fans of yours, and the work you do, including this podcast.
I was wondering if you would consider doing a podcast about over-eating? I’ve struggled with this as long as I can remember and I can’t find anything on this theme in the 3PGC website.
Thanks, and please keep up the good work. You both are very inspirational!
Denise
