This episode is an invitation to look at why we give ourselves such a hard time. It's evolutionary. As much as we hate anxiety, fear and worry, they have kept our species alive through millennia. We were once prey for wild beasts, or we lived in small tribes that formed for protection. In both of these situations anxiety kept us safe. Now, we live in a different world but with the same ancient brain. We're constantly hijacked by the brain's ancient survival mechanisms and this reflection looks at that as a living example in Christopher's life. Through intentional living, we can become free. These help you to learn the skills that will free you from a life trapped in fear and anxiety. He also has a brand new group called "Everyday Stillness. Come and meet the rest of the family and share your insights or ask questions there. Music by Denis Pavlov Music.
