This week I tested 4 anxiety techniques…
two from a Harvard-trained life coach and two from Old Ma.
The methods:
• orgasm (did not happen)
• contemplating death (surprisingly helpful)
• building a “sanity quilt” (tiny habits that actually regulate you)
• visualising your perfect day (emotionally risky)
Some worked. Some absolutely did not.
Main takeaway:
👉 You don’t fix anxiety with one big breakthrough
👉 You fix it with small daily things that make life slightly more bearable
Also:
• no one is thinking about you as much as you think
• you will be forgotten (freeing, not depressing)
• and stroking your dog is genuinely medicinal
If you feel constantly slightly on edge, overwhelmed, or like your brain is doing too much…
this episode is for you.
• realistic anxiety coping strategies
• small daily habits that actually help
• a brutally honest test of popular techniques
• a reminder that your life doesn’t need to be perfect to be good
