Tip: A month ago I did a series claiming there are three basic types of anxiety: Surface Level, Life’s in Danger Level, and Foundational Level. The following topic is a mix of all of them. I would categorize this lesson as part rant. Ranting is a very healthy activity for getting emotion out and … [Read more...]
How Do You Handle Bad Moments?
Last week I mentioned my family was able to go to Disney with my mom, sister, and mother-in-law. Thank you Disney Animation Resort for having family units that fit all of us – splitting a hotel bill makes a huge difference on the cost. This trip had a lot of wonderful moments including my almost … [Read more...]
Do You Matter?
Last week I had the wonderful privilege of going to Disney for a week with my mom, mother-in-law, sister, wife, and two daughters (ages five and almost three). Being the only male, some guys would call this trip torture, but I actually arranged it. I’m a bit of a girl, so it all worked out. Like … [Read more...]
There Should Be Worse Anxiety Problems in the World (Pt 5)
I was recently talking to someone who asked if I had any suggestions for helping their child have less anxiety, and the answer was pretty simple: Make them do stuff.

Growing up I remember … [Read more...]
There Should Be Worse Anxiety Problems in the World (Pt 3)
My goal for this week was to explain the title… but life happens. To be transparent, when I write my posts, this usually isn’t already known knowledge I’m dispensing. My blogs are more about figuring things out because I learn best by reflecting on life and trying to find patterns in the world … [Read more...]
There Should Be Worse Anxiety Problems in the World (Pt 2)
Whatever happened to worry? I’m not sure the last time I heard someone say they were worried because it’s always “anxious” now. It’s like anxiety is more important: “I’m not worried; I’m anxious. It’s much worse.” If that’s the case, then we as a society are intensifying our issues to be bigger … [Read more...]
There Should Be Worse Anxiety Problems in the World (Pt 1)
I remember riding the limo to the cemetery for my dad’s burial service staring out the window thinking how all the day to day things I would worry about were all so meaningless. They might have felt like they mattered in the moment, but they really meant nothing in the face of death. That’s the … [Read more...]
