Show 245 Anxiety Symptoms

In the episode, I mentioned that your symptoms are not the enemy. They ain’t your friend either. Symptoms are a way for your brain and body to communicate with you. Your symptoms do not use words. They do not do that noun conjunction verb. 

They are good at telling you there is a problem. They are lousy at telling you why there is a problem. They try. They really do. But you have to take the time to learn their language. 

Like if you really don't like riding in elevators your body will tense up. Could be because work will be hectic. Could be that you don't like small boxes filled with people. 

So this is just a basic reminder of the general categories of symptoms and some of the things that could occur on or in your body.

Show 243 Climb the Mountain

I truly don't know what to say. There needs to be some healing infusions and I don't have any.

But I can say many of us are trying not to be overwhelmed or discouraged by hate based carbon units.

It is hard. 

But we can do it.

Are ancestors taught us that and we have to hold on waiting for our time to make changes.

Not to wait on them. Make them.

Show 242 Pebble in the Road - Book Recomendation

I had wanted to do a show about writing anxiety.  Then I got hit with a wave of brain fog. Pea soup thick. Three full days of trying to think around and over it. 

No can do. I can find items for the show. I knew what I wanted to talk about. I just couldn't put the words together. 

So this is a pebble in the road with a book recommendation. Dr. Brewer has self-declared he was a traveler on the road. He has the medical chops and it is a different approach to treatment.
