Each of us must confront our own fears, must come face to face with them. How we handle our fears will determine where we go with the rest of our lives. To experience adventure or to be limited by the fear of it.

| 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 | Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's episode, I want to talk about |
| 0:30.7 | having you schedule a time for your anxious worrying. Now that may not be the first |
| 0:36.1 | thing that you'd be wanting to put in your scheduler but it is probably a good |
| 0:40.8 | idea to do it. One of the questions that I get from people a lot is how do I turn this worry off? Where's the switch to turn this worrying off? And it can be a very specific worry or it can be when one worry is solved |
| 0:56.5 | the mind moves on to the next thing and over the years I have had different ways of looking at it you know I talk about putting it on the back burner you know because we want the worry the |
| 1:11.3 | subconscious struggle the the |
| 1:15.0 | thought or memory or worry that is deep down in there that bubbles up, as people would say, out of the blue, we want to give |
| 1:25.3 | that attention because without us paying attention to it, it's like a four-year-old child in the |

| 2:09.4 | back burner thank you for letting me know that that's a concern. I get it. I hear you. |
| 2:15.6 | I'm going to put you on the back burner. We'll get to you later. Now what can be even |
| 2:21.6 | better is if you are going to stir that pot or open that pot lid at a specific time. |
| 2:30.0 | And that's where scheduling a time for your anxious worrying would come in handy. |
| 2:35.6 | When are you going to take the lid off the pot and look inside? |
| 2:39.8 | So you're going to make a time for this. |
| 2:42.9 | And as simple as it sounds, I think you're going to be surprised |
