6 Magic Words That Stop Anxiety & Overwhelm

In today’s episode, I’m sharing the “6 magic words” that I say to myself on repeat whenever I start to spiral.

I call them “magic” because they seem to have an almost spell-like effect on me when I say them out loud.

I’ve shared these 6 magic words with millions of people online, and today you’re going to learn what they are and how to use them to your advantage.

If you're a worrier, an overthinker, or struggle with anxiety, you’ll love these 6 words.

You can use them like a tool to stop yourself from worrying, obsessing, catastrophizing, and creating problems in your mind that don’t exist in the present moment.

These 6 words are rooted in behavioral science, psychology, stoicism, and even Buddhism. In fact, I’m going to share a fantastic metaphor to make this even more visual and easy to understand and apply in your life.

You will also learn:

• How to use my 6-word phrase to interrupt your worries and self-doubt.
• The question you can ask yourself to beat fear with logic.
• A beautiful Buddhist teaching that will empower you to stop torturing yourself mentally.
• A shocking study about how stressful thoughts cause you real pain.
• What “positive ideation” is and why you need to use it the next time you start to spiral.
• What the data says about your worries (my jaw was on the floor).
