Episode notes
Use The Five Second Rule
- Use the Five Second Rule: count 5‑4‑3‑2‑1 and take action to interrupt overthinking and reduce anxiety.
- Action changes physiology and signals to your brain you can handle the situation.
Have Sex Before Going Out
- Have sex before going out to increase energy and intimacy rather than waiting until after.
- Do it when you're half ready to maximize comfort and desire.
Anxiety Signals Separation
- Anxiety is an alarm of separation from your ability to handle uncertainty, not proof you can't cope.
- Remind yourself "I'm capable" to shift from fear to measured response.
