090: 3 Simple Strategies For Managing Stress, Anxiety, and Overwhelm

The Better Man Podcast

For whatever reason, men are particularly bad at managing their stress, anxiety, and overwhelm. I’ve struggled with this myself. Everyone struggles with this.

But why?

As men, we’ve been discouraged to give our emotions the validation they deserve. Instead of confronting issues, we avoid them by turning into workalcoholics or exercise junkies. While these can be beneficial activities, they cause your emotions to bubble behind the scenes… Until you unleash them at the worst possible times.

But there’s a better way to manage uncomfortable feelings like stress, anxiety, and overwhelm, so you actually overcome them.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why avoiding your emotions is a bigger problem than you think
• 2 prerequisites you must have in order to confront and address discomforting emotions
• 3 simple, yet wildly effective strategies to address and conquer stress, anxiety, and overwhelm

And more, including…

• How men use exercise as a crutch to avoid uncomfortable emotions (and how to use your endorphins as a tool instead) (4:23)
• Do your thoughts keep running around in a circle like a dog trying to catch its tail? Here’s how to break free of this endless worry loop (10:41)
