15 Minute Anxiety Detox For Leaders

It’s easy to write about how to get rid of anxiety in a blog. Put it in four steps and your done. Deep down I know that four steps won’t cure anxiety in your life or mine so I don’t want to mislead you into thinking that if you practice these four steps our anxiety will be thing of the past, it won’t. However, a few friends of mine have been contemplating a “detox” of sorts.

If you Google the word “detox” you will find diets, supplements, prescriptions, plans, recipes, tests, blogs, pictures, foods and tea. However, not one program to cleanse anxiety and that’s the one I could really use!

I guess the question we should start with is why? Why are we anxious? If we remove all the deep language anxiety is directly connected to fear. Fear of what will happen, fear of what’s next, fear of what’s coming, fear of failure. I’m not sure how many of us look back at the past week and feel anxiety, My guess is it’s a low number. It’s usually when we look ahead that anxiety sets in. The bottom line, we're afraid of uncertainty.

Do you like a good sale? You know, the “take 50 percent off the already low price” kind of a sale! You get quality merchandise at a great value. I guess if I have one complaint about such a sale is that they usually don’t last. If you don’t make time now––while the sale is on––then you will have missed a great opportunity.

We are reminded to take advantage of a good sale or good opportunity in the Bible. It’s true! Ephesians 5:15-17 talks all about it:

So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity
