Anxiety is killing us. The problem is, we are CHOOSING it. And Dr. John Delony's new book, "Building a Non-Anxious Life" helps us choose not to be anxious.
Dr. Delony challenges the popular notion of anxiety as an enemy to be defeated. Instead, he suggests viewing it as a smoke alarm in the kitchen, alerting us to areas of our lives that lack safety or connection. By accepting anxiety as a normal response and addressing the underlying issues causing it, we can create a solid foundation for better well-being.
Dr. Delony invites us to reflect on how our identity is shaped by the things we choose to engage with and the things we consciously avoid. He shares his personal experience of deliberately withdrawing from certain activities and relationships due to the fear of self-perceived danger. However, he also emphasizes the importance of choosing connection over isolation, recognizing that our bodies crave genuine human connection for overall happiness and fulfillment.
Dr. Delony opens up about his journey towards redefining success, acknowledging the fallacy of chasing external validation as a pathway to self-acceptance.
He places a strong emphasis on self-care and well-being. Dr. Delony highlights the significance of taking care of our bodies, both mentally and physically. From incorporating regular exercise and movement into our lives to seeking therapy or counseling, he underscores the importance of intentional choices that promote our overall health and healing.
Instead of trying to be all things to all people, he says it's better to embrace simplicity and intentional living. He shares his own journey of scaling back commitments and creating space for what truly matters, be it family, relationships, or personal growth. In today's fast-paced world, this reminder serves as a valuable guide to avoid burnout and maintain balance.
"Building a Non-Anxious Life" helps us adopt a fresh perspective on anxiety, reevaluate the pursuit of external validation, and prioritize self-care. We can embark on a transformative journey towards a more fulfilling and balanced life. As Dr. Delony demonstrates, it's never too late to course-correct, redefine success, and actively engage in shaping our own narratives.
