Love Note 1.18.24

When I was a kid quicksand and tar pits seemed to be in just about every adventure story on TV.

I distinctly remember walking in the woods behind my house in Maine looking out for quicksand. I DID NOT want to get stuck in it.

I have no idea why those two things seemed to be part of the popular imagination at the time, but for the vast majority of humans, quicksand did not actually exist.

There are lots of things in our current popular imagination that behave the same way. There are also plenty of stories in our own little worlds that fill us with fear of unrealistic dangers.

Your experiment for the day: Pay attention to moments when your anxiety or fear jump up. Pause. Breathe. Ask yourself, "Is this a real danger or a learned response to an outside story?" Just bringing the fear to your conscious mind can shift your nervous system response.
