Do you remember the last time you had an uninterrupted couple of minutes to yourself, no pings, no dings, just a quiet moment for your mind to make its own decisions about what it wants to think about? Yeah, us neither. Today’s habitual ‘now’ culture has caused underlying anxiety and worry in many people. To discover strategies to open the release valve and alleviate anxiety’s grip on the subconscious, Positive Psychology Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors who offer up ideas for those venturing back into the world of work. Dr. Jud Brewer shares tips from his book, Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind, about how to re-engage with our peers post-pandemic. And, Juliet Funt describes the strategies from her book, A Minute to Think: Reclaim Creativity, Conquer Busyness, and Do Your Best Work, about the opportunity we have to redesign our new normal.
