What makes worry and anxiety so addictive? Vicky Midwood, known as The Addiction Eliminator, tackles this often overlooked addiction in her latest episode of RAW CHATTER. With over three decades in the health and wellness industry, Vicky is no stranger to the complexities of the human mind. She dives into how our brains are wired for worry, driven by a need for certainty that we can never fully satisfy.
Vicky's unique approach combines scientific research with practical advice, making it clear that trying to 'think your way out' of anxiety often exacerbates the problem. Vicky explains that worry begins with a single thought that spirals into anxiety loops, fuelled by our brain's knack for predicting negative outcomes. But don't fret—she offers a solution in the form of 'worry time,' a dedicated period to address these thoughts constructively.
Her candid discussion is peppered with light-hearted anecdotes and raw honesty, making complex psychological concepts accessible and relatable. This episode is perfect for anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed by their own thoughts or is looking for practical strategies to regain control over their mental chatter. Vicky's straightforward, no-nonsense style encourages listeners to give her techniques a try, promising that with practice, they'll notice a significant reduction in their anxiety levels.
So, if you're tired of letting worry hijack your mind, why not take a leaf out of Vicky's book and schedule some 'worry time'? It might just be the game-changer you need to find peace in your everyday life.
