PT218 - Dena Justice - How to Beat Anxiety
In this episode, Joe interviews Psychedelics Today's first 3-time guest, Dena Justice of the Ecstatic Collective.\xa0
They discuss the ins and outs of something we're all too familiar with: anxiety. They talk about how Western society's lack of community and focus on doing things yourself (and not asking for help) mixed with a weird pride in being overworked and stressed has created a world where we all deal with daily anxiety, and deal with it differently. She first became addicted to exercise, but realized that learning to slow down, ignoring FOMO and embracing JOMO (the joy of missing out), having fewer goals in favor of more accomplishment, embracing play as a way of finding flow state, celebrating accomplishments instead of failures, and tuning her frequency towards happiness has helped her change her life drastically for the better.
She talks about more ways to combat anxiety, and her new program where you can sign up for these kinds of tips and tricks to be emailed to you on a regular basis (sign up here). She is also offering a valuable discounted bundle of courses in partnership with Psychedelics Today, which includes 2 Ecstatic Collective courses and 2 Psychedelics Today courses.
Notable Quotes\u201cThe best thing you can do is learn to be uncomfortable.\u201d
\u201cTalking about playful things is just tapping into the inner child inside of us, giving ourselves permission to play. Go to the playground. Ignore the sign that says \u2018this playspace is designated for 12-year-olds and under.\u2019 F that! Your tax dollars paid for that playground. Go play on that playground!\u201d
\u201cLook at all these non-ordinary states of consciousness and how they tie in here- meditation, breathwork, exercise, early childhood (because that\u2019s pure receptivity), psychedelics, every single orgasm. ...Every single one of these things is putting us in flow state. It\u2019s bringing us to the present moment, where anxiety cannot exist because we\u2019re in the present. Anxiety is fear of the future, depression is being caught up on the past. ...but when we\u2019re in the present, all of that goes away.\u201d\xa0
\u201cEmail is a tool for efficiency, not necessarily effectiveness. What\u2019s effective? Real communication. I think a lot of anxiety comes from the lack of true communication these days. ...7% of what our communication is is the actual words we say to each other. 55% is our physiology and 38% is our tonality. That means we\u2019re losing 93% of our communication when we put it in an email or a text message or on social media.\u201d
