Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everyone, welcome back to distract it on purpose. I'm
your host Logan Cruz, and today we're diving head first
into something we all grapple with at some point, fear
and anxiety. Ever feel like that knot in your stomach
is tightening up whenever a big decision looms, or maybe
you get butterflies before presentation, even if you know your

(00:22):
stuff inside and out. Yeah, I feel you. We've all
been there. But here's the thing. Fear and anxiety aren't
meant to control us. They're signals, like little red flags
waving in the wind, trying to tell us something. So
how do we take those flags seriously without letting them
hijack our lives? That's what we're breaking down today. We'll

(00:47):
explore some practical strategies to not only manage anxiety, but
actually use it as fuel for success. Because trust me,
overcoming fear isn't about becoming fearless. It's about learning to
dance with the dragon, so to speak, and coming out
stronger on the other side. First up, let's get real

(01:08):
about what triggers those feelings of fear and anxiety. You
know that feeling when you're facing a deadline or prepping
for a big event. That's your body's natural response to stress,
preparing you to either fight or flee. But in today's world,
we rarely face lions or sabertoothed tigers. Instead, our stressors

(01:30):
are often more internal self doubt, perfectionism, the constant need
to keep up. So recognizing those triggers is the first
step towards managing them. Next, let's talk about reframing your thoughts. Ever,
notice how sometimes your mind can play tricks on you,
amplifying fears and creating worst case scenarios. That inner critic

(01:54):
can be a real buzzkill. But here's a game changer.
Challenge those negative thoughts. Ask yourself, is this really true?
Or what's the evidence to support this fear? Often when
we shine a light on those thought patterns, they crumble
under scrutiny. Now let's talk about action, because sometimes the

(02:17):
best way to conquer fear is to simply face it
head on. You know that saying fake it till you
make it. Well, there's truth to that. When you take
small steps towards your goals, even if you feel a
little shaky at first, you build confidence and momentum every
time you push yourself outside of your comfort zone. You're

(02:38):
rewiring your brain to believe in your abilities. Remember, self
care is not selfish, it's essential. You can't pour from
an empty cup, right, So make time for things that
nourish your mind, body, and soul. Whether it's taking a
walk in nature, practicing mindfulness, or simply cuddling up with

(03:00):
a good book. Prioritize activities that bring you joy and
help you recharge. And finally, never underestimate the power of community.
Surround yourself with people who lift you up, encourage you
to grow and celebrate your successes. Sharing your fears and
vulnerabilities with trusted friends or mentors can be incredibly liberating

(03:25):
and provide invaluable support on your journey. So picture this.
You're about to give a presentation at work. Your heart
is pounding, palms or sweating, classic anxiety attack, right, But
instead of letting those feelings take over, you remember everything
we talked about today. You acknowledge the feeling, reframe your thoughts.

(03:47):
I've prepared well, I've got this, and take some deep
breaths to calm your nerves. You step up to the podium,
smile at the audience, and deliver a powerful presentation that
wows everyone see what I mean. By using these strategies,
you can turn fear into fuel and achieve amazing things. Remember,

(04:09):
overcoming fear and anxiety is an ongoing process. It's about
celebrating your progress, learning from setbacks, and showing yourself unwavering
compassion along the way. Keep practicing those strategies, keep pushing
your boundaries, and never stop believing in your ability to thrive. Now,
I want to hear from you. What are some of
