| 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. |
| 0:20.0 | Oh, Loh how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's podcast, I want to talk to you |
| 0:30.7 | about using courage to guide your way out of anxiety panic. And I know we've talked about |
| 0:37.5 | courage earlier in other podcasts, but it is a very big piece of our ability to be able to do the things that have |
| 0:49.7 | been holding us back. You know, philosophers and psychologists alike have proclaimed that |
| 0:56.4 | courage is not the absence of despair. It is instead the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair. |
| 1:05.9 | And I know in our last podcast I talked about, |
| 1:08.8 | you know, having some courage and moving forward |
| 1:11.8 | with courage from getting out of the mindset of being a |
| 1:16.8 | victim and how to get more into being a volunteer. Those who volunteer are courageous. This is kind of building on the last |
| 1:26.7 | podcast. So if you missed that, that podcast was Volunteer versus Victim Mindset and Anxiety, and that was number 436. |
| 1:37.0 | So anyway, so the philosophers and psychologists, they are telling us that courage is not the absence of despair. It is instead |
| 1:46.0 | the capacity to move ahead in spite of despair. So you know as we move through the challenges of being triggered easily and overly |
| 1:57.4 | sensitized by our lizard brain, we need to remember that it will take a lot of courage to meet this challenge, |
| 2:08.0 | this whatever one you are in at the moment, however you were triggered, remember that it is going to take courage to get |
| 2:16.8 | through that and be able to convey to yourself that you are pulling up your courage and that you do have it. |
| 2:26.0 | Because again, courage is not the absence of despair, even though many of us get caught up in believing that with the stress, the fear, and the anxiety |
| 2:36.4 | that we are experiencing that we simply cannot go on. |
| 2:40.0 | It does become that overwhelming and discouraging, but we do have more courage than we think we do. |
| 2:47.6 | So what then is courage and how do we get it to work with us as a guiding light that can actually show us the way out of our anxiety panic. |
| 3:01.0 | Courage is the capacity to move ahead in spite of our despair. |
