In today's episode, S2E147, "The Pavlovian Sound of Anxiety," I'm talking about something that happened to me recently that I think many of you can relate to - the power of association and how it can lead to feelings of anxiety.

You see, the other day, I was out in the garage, minding my own business, when I heard a sound that immediately made me feel tense and anxious. It took me a minute to realize that the sound reminded me of the instant messenger from work. It was the sound of a message coming in, and it made me feel like there was a crisis waiting for me on the other end.

This got me thinking about how much we internalize our work and the stressors that come with it. It's so easy to let the anxieties and worries of our jobs seep into our personal lives, even when we're not on the clock. But here's the thing - it's just not worth it. It's not worth sacrificing our spiritual, mental, and physical well-being for the sake of work.

So, in this episode, I talk about my realization and how it led me to come up with a new approach to my work. I'm doing my best, putting my all into my job, but when I've done that, I'm done. I'm not going to stress over things that are outside of my control. I'm not going to let work take over my life. And you know what? It's made a huge difference.

I hope this episode resonates with you guys, and I encourage you to take a step back and really think about how your work is affecting your personal life. Remember, do your best, but don't sacrifice your well-being for the sake of work.
