About The Calm Living Blueprint: Social Anxiety | Anxiety | Stress | Mindfulness | Inner Peace

These conversations document an earlier chapter of Candice Esposito's work. While her understanding has continued to evolve, many listeners still find these episodes meaningful years later.

Love or Fear
Love or fear? Which do you choose?
As I was reflecting on what the topic could be for this podcast episode I became aware that we’ve talked a lot about fear. And, rightly so… I believe that at the heart of all anxiety, depression, self-hatred, feelings of unworthiness… if we go deep enough, if we peel back enough layers… we always find fear at their root.
But I find myself being a bit concerned about focusing on fear so much… I liken my concern to the same reason I don’t believe all those anti-whatever campaigns will ever be effective – anti-drugs, anti-cancer, anti-war and on and on. All the focus of those campaigns is on the darkness. Fighting, battle. The energy behind all those campaigns is fear. And what are you ultimately going to get with fear? Where are you going to get by trying to get rid of the darkness?
So in today’s episode I want to bring in the light.
In a sense we’re still talking about fear… but we’re approaching it differently. We’re not trying to rid ourselves of the darkness, we are bringing in the light.
And to do that I want to talk about love.
Let’s talk about love.

Comparing Yourself to Others
Okay, fess up. We all do it. I’m talking about comparing ourselves to others.
Yeah. You ever catch yourself doing that while you’re browsing Instagram or Facebook? When you overhear someone’s good news about a job promotion or a vacation that they are taking?
How does comparing yourself to others make you feel? Generally not good, right? So in this episode we’re going to explore why we compare, how we compare and, most importantly, how to break free from this heartbreakingly futile habit.
