246. How to cope with political anxiety

246. How to cope with political anxiety

Many of us have been facing increasing levels of political anxiety in the past days and weeks. It seems that the world has never been more divisive and polarised and there is a lot that we are uncertain and fearful of. In today’s episode we talk about how we can acknowledge that the future feels scary, but still find an internal sense of safety and peace, including:

  • The value of stoic principles and focusing on what you can control
  • The psychology of a strong belief system
  • The power of staying present and grounding ourselves
  • Overcoming doomscrolling and being informed but not overwhelmed
  • How to talk about politics in a healthy way

I know this time feels very scary and uncertain but I hope this tiny slice of the internet makes you feel safe and seen, love Jemma.
