Field Report: I Tested 4 Anxiety Techniques So You Don’t Have To (You’re Welcome)

This week I tested 4 anxiety techniques… two from a Harvard-trained life coach and two from Old Ma.

The methods:

• orgasm (did not happen) • contemplating death (surprisingly helpful) • building a “sanity quilt” (tiny habits that actually regulate you) • visualising your perfect day (emotionally risky)

Some worked. Some absolutely did not.

Main takeaway:

👉 You don’t fix anxiety with one big breakthrough 👉 You fix it with small daily things that make life slightly more bearable

Also:

• no one is thinking about you as much as you think • you will be forgotten (freeing, not depressing) • and stroking your dog is genuinely medicinal

If you feel constantly slightly on edge, overwhelmed, or like your brain is doing too much…

this episode is for you.

🧠 What you’ll get:

• realistic anxiety coping strategies • small daily habits that actually help • a brutally honest test of popular techniques • a reminder that your life doesn’t need to be perfect to be good
