Poke the Box by Seth Godin

Sometimes the source of our anxiety can come from a surprising source: grief. Licensed therapist Claire Smith explores the often-overlooked link between grief and anxiety. When we understand how the two connect, we can begin to calm the anxiety through the right techniques. Overthinking is also known as worrying or ruminating and it's a form of anxiety that many people suffer from.

You might even find yourself reading it a few times to let the information and strategies sink in. Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. As contradictory as it sounds, perfectionists tend to feel unfulfilled, unhappy and emotionally unbalanced. Dr. Lombardo's book breaks down what perfectionism is and how you can keep the good parts of it (such as striving for excellence) while getting rid of the bad parts (like never feeling good enough). "When you live a better-than-perfect life, you no longer worry about what might happen and create a life you truly love," she says.

And that is not where the solution, or the best way forward, will be found. Those will present themselves in the moment, in the actual conversation, in the interaction with the other person. Puiman: ‘By not being present, you really prevent yourself from finding those unexpected, unforeseen solutions that come up when you really hear the other person’s perspective’.

Remember, it is not enough to be hit or insulted to be harmed, you must believe that you are being harmed. If someone succeeds in provoking you, realize that your mind is complicit in the provocation.This book offers a comprehensive, holistic approach to help you approach anxiety from multiple directions — from specific exercises to more general lifestyle adjustments.

The voices of culture influence our parents’ inner voices, which in turn influence our own, and so on through the many cultures and generations that combine to tune our minds. We are like Russian nesting dolls of mental conversations. People talk about how they see things while you think about what to say next. And that's not where the best way to go will be found. Those will show up in the moment, in the conversation, and in the way you interact with the person you are with. In Puiman's words: "By not being present, you really stop yourself from finding those unexpected, unforeseen solutions that come up when you really listen to the other person's point of view."Overthinking: “I wish the storm wouldn’t come. It’s going to be awful. I hope the house doesn’t get damaged. Why do these things always have to happen to me? I can’t handle this.”
