144. Anticipatory Anxiety is Expensive
Manage episode 367676957 series 2882323
Do you worry about things in advance? Do you catastrophize?
Anticipatory anxiety is expensive.
In this episode, Ni-Cheng recounts when her passport became accidentally soaked while traveling. She shares about her experience with catastrophizing and anticipatory worry and how mindfulness, compassion, and coaching helped.
Anticipatory anxiety arises in most of our lives regularly. Habitual mindsets of urgency, negative attention bias, and discomfort with uncertainty come up also.
Helpful strategies to lessen worrying ahead of time:
Notice what is happening
Place your hand on heart
Be open to “maybes”
Asking your future self what you will wish you had done
Focus on what’s within your control
(When helpful) Ask what’s the worst that could happen?
Most of the time, circumstances that bring about worry end up turning out better than expected. And you wish you had pasued and been present rather than having spent the time and energy worrying.
