This podcast episode explains how normal it is for our brains to focus on the negative, worry, and catastrophise. Rather than trying to fix this, simply understanding this behaviour can improve our relationship with our thoughts, leading to more peace and ease in life.

So many people try to fix their anxiety, stress, and overwhelm either by managing the outside world – their job, relationships, money, and life – or by trying to control their inner world: their thoughts.

But what if there's nothing to manage at all? What if the path to more peace and clarity and less stress and worry is through understanding our mind, not trying to change its contents?

Siobhán Friel struggled for two decades with many mental health diagnoses, behaviours, and addictions. She's now a certified master coach, mental health practitioner, writer, and speaker who shares a new psychological paradigm with the world.

In this Hack, Friel explores how a deeper understanding of our minds can help us all.
