Summary
Welcome to another episode of Your Anxiety Toolkit podcast.
This week’s podcast was recorded from an RV on Pacific Coast Highway. It was the last day of my birthday celebration and I rented and drove a 35-foot RV to the beach so I could celebrate my new year with my dear friends and dear family. As I sat back, I reflected on what my biggest goal was for my 38th year.
My goal for the upcoming year is NO MORE RUSHING. That’s right! I have made a deal with myself. NO MORE RUSHING. No more rushing my kids. No more rushing my family. No more rushing my joy. No more rushing my anxiety.
My hope for my 38th year is to slow down and really drop down into the present moment. My hope is to be present and absorb the joy that exists all around me. Since I made the goal of no more rushing, I have found that I am more aware of all of the beauty in my life and I am more present to really see the amazing people and places around me.
On this birthday weekend, we sat on the beach and just absorbed the love that we all felt for each other. We looked up to the horizon instead of focusing on the road and the computer screens and the phones. We connected and I didn’t rush a thing.
My hope for this podcast is to inspire you to take on the goal of NO MORE RUSHING and just see how much beauty that comes from this.
OCD Awareness Week, from October 13-19, is almost here! This year’s awareness-raising campaign is focused on sharing videos of you and your friends facing your fears. The goal is to educate the public about the realities of living with OCD and the challenge of having to face your fears on the path to recovery. To participate, the IOCDF is asking everyone to create a video or photo of themselves doing something that makes them anxious and then to post on any and all social media platforms with the hashtags #FaceYourFear and #OCDWeek.

| 0:00.0 | This is Your Anxiety Toolkit, episode number 122. |
| 0:11.5 | Welcome to Your Anxiety Toolkit. |
| 0:14.2 | I'm your host, Kimberly Quinlan. |
| 0:16.4 | This podcast is fueled by three main goals. |
| 0:19.7 | The first goal is to provide you with some extra |
| 0:22.2 | tools to help you manage your anxiety. Second goal, to inspire you. Anxiety doesn't get to decide |
| 0:28.9 | how you live your life. And number three, and I leave the best for last, is to provide you |
| 0:34.7 | with one big, fat virtual hug, because experiencing anxiety ain't easy. |
| 0:40.6 | If that sounds good to you, let's go. |
| 0:48.5 | Well, welcome back. |
| 0:50.6 | Today's a particularly interesting episode of your anxiety toolkit. I'm actually recording this |
| 0:57.2 | from a rented RV. You are going to hear some background noise on this episode because I'm not in my |
| 1:08.0 | normal recording area. Let me tell you a little bit about what's going on around me. |
| 1:13.1 | I am just coming off of my birthday weekend. |
| 1:17.4 | I'm very excited where I decided this year that, you know what, I'm going to celebrate. |
| 1:26.1 | I'm not going to, like, usually I'm like pretending |
| 1:28.3 | like it's not a big deal when I usually think it is a big deal. It's my birthday and I really |
| 1:33.0 | enjoy celebrating. But this time I was like, you know what, I'm just going to do it. And I rented |
| 1:38.0 | this gigantic RV. And I took the day off work on Friday and I did a really, really scary thing. So today's |
| 1:50.4 | segment of I did a hard thing is actually me. I took a risk and I rented the RV and I decided |
| 1:59.1 | I was going to drive it. I could have easily asked my husband |
| 2:02.4 | to take the day off. He offered and he would drive it down. But I thought, you know what, I'm |
