Who wouldn't have a little worry?Worry can be defined as "a state of cognitive distress or worry because of concern over an impending or expected occurrence, risk, or threat." (1) to torment oneself with or suffer from disturbing thoughts; fret. to move with effort: to torment with cares, anxieties, etc.; trouble; plague. a worried condition or feeling; uneasiness or anxiety. a cause of uneasiness or anxiety; trouble. (2)Worry is a marker or signal that something is wrong. We can leverage our worry by identifying it containing it within healthy concern and allow or concern to inform our planning. This reminds me of an expression I heard a lot in the Air Force, "expect the best, plan for the worst." My personal belief regarding emotions is that we were created with all of them and should embrace each emotion openly, honestly, and appropriately.What is the worst-case scenario, what is the best-case scenario, what is the most likely scenario? Now, there are more steps: learning how to prepare. What would coping look like if the worst-case happened? Weighing the cost versus benefit of worry. (Side note: excessive worry really is a learned thought pattern, right the movement from healthy concern to obsessive worry that's learned.) and lastly giving permission to not worry.  This is CBT which research shows to be 70-80% effective in reducing anxiety symptoms. (4)There are questions that we need to continually ask in order to overcome a lot of our worries. What am I afraid of? Labeling the fear/worry/concern can help to put a cap on the emotion and give a (quote) (unquote) face to the feeling.What am I looking forward to? Seeing an alternate outcome can siphon the power of worry into the positive alternate-outcome.What do I enjoy now?Identifying what you currently enjoy now is grounding. Remember worry lives in our undetermined future. The only thing concrete, the only thing known is right now.CLOSING: I want to encourage you in the middle of what you are facing.

Welcome to Homestead Family Podcast!Our goal is to help you build a sustainable familyA homestead is literally a place where families are developed and built. There’s this rustic, high family values like connection to the word homestead. There’s work connected to that word. And that’s true for our families today. I’m putting together the first collection of episodes in response to this pandemic that focuses on how marriages can come out stronger. In the long run the podcast focus is on forging sustainable families. This is the focus of Homestead Family Therapy 😁For this initial launch I am working to interview a few of my colleagues and people who have a voice to help our marriages during this COVID-19 pandemic. As the stay-at-home orders lift and we figure out the new normal, there is a lot of uncertainty in relationships, along with heightened emotions and stress.If you find the podcast helpful Support the show (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/my/profile)
