In this book review, Toby provides insights from Dr. John Deloney’s book, “Building a Non-Anxious Life,” and how it has positively influenced his life. The core of the book revolves around six daily choices designed to foster a less anxious existence:
Choosing reality [03:03]: This involves acknowledging and accepting situations, regardless of how challenging or traumatic they may be.
Choosing connection [04:04]: Prioritizing relationships and community is key, even with the difficulties of forming new friendships as an adult.
Choosing freedom [06:46]: This means avoiding self-imposed limitations through careful management of schedules, decluttering, and responsible financial habits. Setting boundaries is also crucial.
Choosing mindfulness [09:50]: Being present in the moment, often through connecting with nature, and minimizing distractions from technology are beneficial.
Choosing health and healing [12:33]: Addressing past traumas and focusing on physical well-being through exercise and adequate sleep are essential.
Choosing belief [14:27]: This involves recognizing a higher power and finding a purpose beyond oneself.
