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
