More than ever in this age of Coronavirus, an unstable world, and social media-induced fear -- so many of us deal with fears about our future...near term and longer term. What if bad things happen, what if x doesn't end, what if I get coronavirus, what if, what if, what if! Fortunately, there is both timeless, proven wisdom from Stoicism and Buddhism as well as modern cognitive behavioral therapy that we can apply to completely reframe how you think about not only your fears about the "what ifs" but taking back control of fear, where you are going and why, and how to become unflappable in the face of upcoming stresses and life happenings and fears.

In this full version of the Fear of the Future episode, we'll learn about why having fears about what lies ahead, worst case thinking and future-focused fear in general is not only normal, but our brains are pre-wired for it thanks to evolution. Thankfully there are some simple techniques you can apply right away to -- and we discuss what they are, why they work, and help you to zoom out to remember what really matters.  Time to turn fear into an asset!
