3 Practical Tips To Lower Neuroticism And Anxiety

In this talk, I go over three ways to lower neuroticism, anxiety, and emotional reactivity. I start by explaining what neuroticism actually is (from the Big Five personality model), how it shows up as constant worry, irritability, and emotional volatility, and why it creates so much stress — not just for you, but for the people around you.

I also share my own experience. I used to be highly neurotic due to both upbringing and temperament. After years of working on this — through observation, lifestyle changes, and over 5,000 hours of meditation — my baseline anxiety dropped dramatically, and my emotional reactions are nothing like they used to be.

From there, I break this down into three practices: 1. Changing your inner mindset and developing a stronger sense of control over your life. 2. Using meditation to build real emotional stability, calm, and equanimity. 3. Taking more action and reconnecting with purpose, because action kills rumination.
