Episode 142: Here’s a simple anxiety reduction technique

Most of us use the words "need" and "want" interchangeably.
However, there are important psychological differences between
the two concepts that differentially impact our emotional
experience. Since "need" is associated with survival, it carries
with it the threat of extinction. As a result, "need" can
transform a mundane task into a life-or-death struggle. On the
other hand, "want" is associated with growth and life. If you
suffer from generalized anxiety, you may want to examine your
uses of these two concepts.
