23. How Can I Handle this Constant Anxiety? With Janis Whitlock

We all have anxiety, but not all of us know how to manage it.
Janis Whitlock, senior advisor for the Jed Foundation, says a
great way to tackle anxiety is to think of it as energy in motion
that needs to go somewhere. She says if you can learn to channel
this energy and experiment with your own triggers, you’ll be able
to lead an anxious-free life. This episode's practice is about
releasing doubt, breathing, and using mindfulness to move through
moments of anxiety.
