3 Mistakes That Keep Us Stuck in Stress
Mar 30, 2026I used to think the way out of stress was to fix the problem, stay busy, or talk it through, but those habits, while completely human, often keep us stuck feeling worried, pressured, or stressed. When we focus only on the outside, distract ourselves with productivity, or rely on venting, we might feel better briefly but won’t actually move through the feelings. The real shift is turning inward, building a relationship with your emotions, and understanding what they’re asking. I hope that you get something from this podcast that you can apply directly today to start transforming your relationship to worry and stress.
Key Takeaways (3 mistakes):
- Over-focusing on fixing external problems instead of tending to what’s happening inside
- Outrunning stress with productivity and distraction instead of feeling it
- Relying only on venting and sharing without building inner support skills
