| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches |
| 0:09.3 | Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life. |
| 0:22.0 | Oh, Loh how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. |
| 0:27.0 | In today's episode, we'll be talking about pressure and anxiety. We all live with different kinds of pressure on us, |
| 0:39.6 | whether they're pressures from the outside or a pressure that we put on ourselves, intrinsic pressure. |
| 0:46.2 | We are doing things to ourselves quite often more than the outer world is putting pressure on us. This is familiar to me because |
| 0:56.7 | I have a lot of internal voices that over my lifetime have told me what I should be doing, how I should be doing it, more, better, so forth and so on. |

| 2:21.5 | I'm either doing it all right or all wrong. I either have a lot of |
| 2:25.2 | pressure on me or no pressure on me. I've sold everything and barefoot in the mountains, but no, there is a lot of space on that continuum and we can all move just a little bit to help relieve some of this pressure that we are living with, or as should I say struggling |
| 2:46.9 | with. |
| 2:48.9 | The thought of taking time off or slowing down or pausing the rat race, right? |
| 2:54.7 | How does that make you feel when I say that? |
