Hello everybody, I'm Gemma Spake and welcome back to The Psychology of Your 20s, the podcast where we talk through the biggest changes, moments and transitions of our 20s and what they mean for our psychology.
Hello, everybody.
Welcome back to the show.
Welcome back to the podcast.
It is so great to have you here.
I literally landed in London back from Australia like five hours ago, and the jet lag is...
Really setting in right now, so bear with me.
But I feel like this episode can't wait.
I feel like this is the most pressing feeling of our generation, of our time, that needs to be discussed before the next world disaster hits in probably the next few days.
And the topic for today, that is our anxiety about the future.
Our anxiety about the future of the world, the future of our lives, and how to manage it.
I don't think that I've had a conversation, a single conversation in the past six months that hasn't included some mention of
of an ever-present existential threat kind of lingering over our lives.
That combined with all of our personal worries and anxieties about the future as 20-somethings meant that it kind of felt like the right time to do an episode on catastrophizing and how to stay grounded right now when our thoughts are probably going a thousand miles a minute.
I'm a major catastrophier and if you are like me, the thought spirals, the negativity spirals are probably non-stop at the moment.
And it's annoying.
It's annoying.
It's frustrating.
It leaves little room to really think about anything else.
It leaves little room to get stuff done, little room to enjoy the present for what it is.
