Hello there. Okay, something a little bit new this week on the podcast. This is podcast number 188. It is December 27th, 2021. We're in the middle of the holiday break. Hope everybody's doing really well.

No intro music. This is going to be short. I want to tell you about a new project that I've been working on for the better part of the last year on and off and it is ready to go.

The first episode of the anxious morning is due out on January 3rd, 2022. So next week right after New Year's, the Monday after the holiday break ends with the first episode of the anxious morning. What is the anxious morning?

Every single weekday morning for 2022 and I hope beyond I will deliver into your email box or into your headphones. If you want to listen to the podcast version.

Three to 500 words, three to five minutes worth of audio that goes more in depth on one particular topic when it comes to anxiety and anxiety recovery.

It is something that I hope you will be able to consume a little bit more thoughtfully than a quiet place and a little bit more safe or secure space and a less frantic space outside of the endless scroll and algorithm a chaos that is social media.

I wanted to give you a better way to consume some of the information that I produce and to be completely honest with you the best information I produce is when I sit at my keyboard and I write that is when I am most effective and I cannot do that terribly effectively trying to do that through Instagram and Facebook post and things of that nature.

So the anxious truth every single weekday morning, it is an email newsletter all free and it is a second podcast also free that will be waiting for you every single morning.

If you go to the anxious morning dot com, you will see all the ways to subscribe to the email newsletter and all the ways to listen to the new podcast when it comes out in January 3rd.

Or if you just want to go and subscribe right away to the email, just go to the anxious morning dot email.

If you're watching on YouTube, that's the URL down on the screen below me here.

And that's that's the deal. We are going to do the usual inspiration, encouragement, empowerment.

I'm going to share my stories in a little more detail. We're going to share the stories of others.

We're going to talk about tips and techniques and the mechanical things that go along with recovery.

We're going to bring some philosophy into that. I'm going to give you things to think about.

I have the entire years worth of content already planned out and I already have the first six weeks of the year written recorded and ready to go.

I'm super excited about this. I think it's going to be really useful.

And I love the fact that we can take this outside of the fire hose and chaos of the usual social media like endless doom scroll.

So that is why I am doing this. I am hoping that this will be a more useful tool for you that you can consume in a more productive way and actually begin to integrate and use in your days.

As opposed to just scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and hoping that you remember or something catches your attention for 16 seconds.

I'll give you something that you could actually read, chew on markup, take notes, whatever happens to be and then use it.

We're going to do that every weekday morning.
