What role does the media play in our personal experience of fear? How does being accessible all of the time feed our anxious mind? Is the analogy of the mind as a computer useful for dealing with anxiety? In this episode, Brian Sachetta and Angela Levesque explore practical approaches to dealing with these uncertain times. We talk about the importance of anchoring our attention, using specific tools such as meditation, education, and re-framing. We also talk about why agency and the power of choice is an essential piece of our long term well-being.
