McDonald's lore is old and enigmatic. Some say the coming of Ronald McDonald was foretold in the Bible.

This week on the podcast, Theo and Will talk about the phony reviews of the Drake Passage, if there is a male equivalent to Horoscope Girls, the return of McDonald's Uncle O'Grimacey, a Sinead O'Connor Bratz Doll in honor of Women's month, the statistics of how many people think they can fight dangerous animals, Wingstop auctions off year supply of ranch, and Will takes us through some Amazon Erotica with the “Born in Blood Mafia Chronicles” series, and an unusual death caused by toxic masculinity.   Email us at segmentcitypodcast@gmail.com iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/segment-city/id1469462393 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7g8dQmJdnROidQM5dvHpW3?si=5W3qBWO1SIirNnhwjvcd0Q Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Iqoulwsmzp4fbyuunf4acoeylwi Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/segment-city Podbean: https://segmentcity.podbean.com/ Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtOxbiSIX1NlSrNMLSqzFqQ

The winding and interconnected story of Mark Michel, Musto jackets, Soulhub, Drake Passage, Antartica, and icebergs.Carmen Rendell reminisces on the stories shared across continents and, now over a decade ago. Some stories should be shared further, and this is one of them. Not just because it highlights the change in our climate, or the remarkable work of Mark and the team in Antartica recording the sounds and images of the icebergs, but because of how the story is told by Mark, and how their experience and his talent transcends the air waves.I wonder at what point we became so estranged from our relationship with this Earth.You're instantly transported to Australis, their vessel, and on the boat with Mark and the team. Antarctica is a place not meant for humankind. colourful and often tragic history reflects this. It is not that we are unwelcome here, more that we are not, perhaps, natural.In simple terms, it a beautiful tale, including how Carmen and Mark connected across the oceans, and still having yet to meet, brings you on board to relive how these Lincoln, Yoko and Ernest icebergs and their micro-environments end up projected onto the Auckland Museum.

Then, stick around for a chat with Taylor Moore! Taylor Moore - "I'm often asked how I ended up at the CIA, a question to which there are more than a few answers. But what I think people really want to know is what edged a regular guy like me out of the light and into the shadows of the intelligence world: a what makes you tick kind of thing. It's a question I can answer in one single phrase—passion for adventure. This is the same passion that drew me to childhood heroes like Indiana Jones, James Bond, and Jack Ryan. This quest for adventure propelled me on a solo journey at the age of twenty-four through the jungles of Bolivia, over the Andes, and across the raging Drake Passage on a Russian icebreaker to Antarctica. And it's the same passion I have now that spurs me to write thriller novels and action-adventure stories. We may grow up, but we don't have to give in. No matter our age or what we do, a good passion for adventure never dies. And if you're like me and you're searching for the next one, then look no further.

The ghost ship Jenny is one of those eerie sea tales that gives you chills. In 1840, a whaling ship discovered Jenny frozen solid in the Drake Passage, near Antarctica. The crew was found perfectly preserved, still frozen in their last moments, with the captain's log detailing their desperate struggle against the cold. They had been trapped in ice since 1823, drifting for 17 years. To this day, the story of Jenny serves as a haunting reminder of the ocean's unforgiving nature.

One of my favorite things about hosting a podcast is that I get to dig a little bit deeper into what motivates some of my favorite photographers. I'm so lucky to be able to sit down with these excellent photographers and discuss their origins, their processes for making images, the numerous challenges they face as creatives, and the inner workings of their minds. As such, it was an absolute pleasure to record this podcast in person with one of my co-instructors at Muench Workshops, Richard Bernabe. Richard is the host of another great podcast, Beyond the Lens, and has been one of my photographic heroes for a long time. Richard and I recorded this podcast while crossing the tumultuous Drake Passage on a non-stabilized expedition boat, the Polar Pioneer. We were returning from a 21-day voyage to Antarctica, where we were lucky enough to photograph elephant seals, emperor penguins, massive icebergs, and incredible sunsets. If you'd like to see a few of those photographs, please check out the my gallery. Stay up to date on the latest podcast episodes by subscribing to our newsletter! On this week's episode, we discuss: Stories from our 21-day trip to Antarctica on the Polar Pioneer. Our favorite moments from our expedition. How Richard got into nature photography. The challenges of making images as a workshop instructor. The realities of being an introvert and a successful photographer. The importance of ancillary skills to augment our photography as professionals. And a lot more! Other topics/links discussed on the podcast this week: Support the podcast on Patreon.

Travel Trends for 2024   It's that time of year when we're all figuring out what the next 12 months are going to look like, and the internet is full of suggestions on how to make sure our lives are on trend in 2024. Let's take a look at the 10  hottest travel trends we've got our eyes on this year. The trends we cover include: Astro Tourism - Keep your eyes on the skies and seek out the best spots to view the Northern Lights, meteors, comets, and more as you explore the globe. Cool-cationing - Forget the beach! As summers get hotter, vacationers are seeking out cooler climates to the north and far south for their holidays. Gig Tripping - Follow your favorite band on their summer tour, catch a bucket list show at a legendary venue, or search the globe for the hottest music festival. Skip-gen Travel - Grandparents are leaving their adult children at home, and taking the grandkids out for bucketlist adventures or to share meaningful places and experiences. Luxury Rail Travel - 5 star hotels on wheels, travel in style without the stress of traffic or airports. Wild Feasting - Foraging for ultra-local ingredients to help prepare a meal, or dining al-fresco after a cooking lesson. Travelers are looking to go beyond eating local delicacies, and actually eat with locals. Dupe Destinations - Ditch the crowds, and look for spots that give a similar flavor, but aren't overrun with tourists. Set-Jetting - tourists are seeking out locations where their favorite prestige television shows and movies were filmed for a chance to get closer to the action. Authentic Cultural Immersion - parasailing and wax museums are fun, but travelers in 2024 want a chance to experience daily life and culture in the places they visit. Frontier Exploration - whether they're braving the Drake Passage to see Antarctica, or pushing personal boundaries by trying strange new foods, daring adventures, or unfamiliar locales, travelers in 2024 are all about going to undiscovered places.

The Joy of Cruising Podcast

This week on The Joy of Cruising Podcast, I am delighted to welcome Judi Cohen, known in the cruise community as Traveling Judi. I featured Traveling Judi in my second cruising book, Cruising Interrupted  amzn.to/3seFU8y in a section called “Cruisers Like You and Me... Sort Of.” Traveling Judi is a fervent world cruiser with a penchant for smaller, and even tiny ships relative to mainstream cruise ships. Judi is also a travel writer extraordinaire—in fact, I met her through my association with Quirky Cruise online magazine, for whom she is a significant contributor. Quirky was also featured in Cruising Interrupted and on the podcast. From travelingjudi.com: Judi has traveled the world in search of unique experiences and off-the-beaten-path destinations.

A couple of anecdotes stick in my mind. One, was from Judi's recollection of her expedition cruise to Antarctica. ‘…one of the most memorable—maybe not in a good way—was crossing the Drake Passage. It was rough, it was crazy, and my husband gets seasick in a bathtub,' Judi laughed. The other was asking Judi about her bucket list. As you know I ask all interviewees about what's on their bucket list. Judi's response was colorful and hilarious. Unfortunately, I can't repeat it on the podcast! What I can quote is ‘I liken bucket list to ‘before I die.' For me, I am much more forward-thinking than that. I want to do these things while I am healthy, while I can, and while I am still interested. I don't know, talking about what I am going to do before I die just has a negative connotation...I'm more about turning my dreams into memories every day.” Support the show

On this 145th episode of The Thriller Zone, I'm excited to be hanging out with yet another outstanding author of thriller fiction. Today, it's Taylor Moore, author of Ricochet.If you haven't heard of Taylor before, it may be because this is only his third book; however, there's one thing I can guarantee: you'll be hearing a LOT more from this phenomenal writer.Ricochet, the third in the Garrett Kohl Series, has everything you're looking for in a thriller: fast action, superb suspense, an intriguing premise, and a hero you can root for.Taylor had this to say about his somewhat new career: "I'm often asked how I ended up at the CIA, a question to which there are more than a few answers. But what I think people really want to know is what edged a regular guy like me out of the light and into the shadows of the intelligence world: a what makes you tick kind of thing. It's a question I can answer in one single phrase—passion for adventure. This is the same passion that drew me to childhood heroes like Indiana Jones, James Bond, and Jack Ryan. This quest for adventure propelled me on a solo journey at the age of twenty-four through the jungles of Bolivia, over the Andes, and across the raging Drake Passage on a Russian icebreaker to Antarctica. And it's the same passion I have now that spurs me to write thriller novels and action-adventure stories. We may grow up, but we don't have to give in. No matter our age or what we do, a good passion for adventure never dies. And if you're like me and you're searching for the next one, then look no further. You've arrived."Folks, you're in for a genuine treat, as Taylor introduces you (or reintroduces you) to a believable hero with smarts, and more than an ample amount of heart.Want to learn more about Taylor and his world?

Is Being Overly “Busy” A Compulsion? | Ep. 338

Your Anxiety Toolkit

Welcome back, everybody. Today, we are going to have a discussion, and yes, I understand that I am here recording on my own in my room by myself, so it's not really a discussion. But I wanted to give you an inside look into a discussion I had, and include you hopefully, on Instagram about a post I made about being busy.  Now, let me tell you a little bit of the backstory here. What we're really looking at here is, is being busy a compulsion or an effective behavior? Here's the backstory. I am an anxious person. Nice to meet you. Everybody knows it, I'm an anxious person. That's what my natural default is. I have all the tools and practice using all the tools and continue to work on this as a process in my life. Not an end goal, but just a process that I'm always on, and I do feel like I handle it really, really well. In the grand scheme of things, of course, everyone makes mistakes and recovery is an up-and-down climb. We all know that. But one thing I have found over and over and over and over again is my inclination to rely on busyness to manage my anxiety.  The reason I tell you this over and over is it's a default to me. When I'm struggling with anything, I tend to busy myself. Even when I had the beginning of an eating disorder, that quickly became a compulsive exercise activity because trying to manage my eating disorder created a lot of anxiety, and one way I could avoid that anxiety and check the eating disorder box was to exercise, move my body. Even though I fully recovered from that, and even though I consider myself to be doing really well mentally overall, I still catch myself relying on work and busyness as a compulsion, as a safety behavior to reduce or remove or avoid my anxiety.  I made a post on this and it had overwhelming positive responses. Meaning, I agree, there was a lot of like, “Oh, I feel called out or hashtag truth.” A lot of people were resonating with this idea that being busy can be a very sneaky compulsion that we do to run away from fear or uncertainty or discomfort or sadness and so forth. But then some of my followers, my wonderful followers came in hot—when I say “hot,” like really well—with this beautiful perspective on this topic and I really feel like it was valid and important for us to discuss here today. Let's talk about that, because I love a good discussion and I love seeing it from both sides. I love getting into the nitty gritty and determining what is what. Let's talk about me just because it's easy for me to use an example. Let's say I have a thought or a feeling of anxiety. Something is bothering me. I'm having anticipatory anxiety or uncertainty about something. My brain wants to solve it, but because I have all these mindfulness tools and CBT tools, I know there's no point in me trying to solve it. I know there's no point in me ruminating on it. I'm not going to change it or figure it out. I have that awareness, so I go, “Okay, now I'm going to get back to life,” which is a really wonderful tool. But what I find that I do is I don't just get back to life. I, with a sense of urgency, will start typing, cleaning, folding laundry, whatever it is, even reading. I will notice this shift in me to do it fast, to do it urgently, to try and get the discomfort to be masked, to be reduced.  And then, of course, I want to share with you, what I then do is when I catch that is I go, “Okay.” I feel the rev inside me and then I ease up on it. I pump the brakes and I try to return back to that activity without that urgency, without that resistance to the anxiety, or without that hustle mentality. But it is a default that I go to that often I don't catch until later on down the track. It's usually until I start to feel a little dizzy, I feel a little lost, a little bit overwhelmed. And then I'm like, “Oh, okay, I'm overusing busyness to manage my anxiety.” The perspective that I loved was people saying, and one in particular said, “I want us to be really careful around that message because I think that some people can hear this idea that being busy is a compulsion and then start to question their own normal busyness throughout the day.” I'll use the exact terms because I thought it was so beautifully said. They said, “You have to be pretty careful with how you explain this to some people with OCD because we're told to lean into our values or live a ‘value-based' life, and that does require us to be busy,” and I wholeheartedly agree.  I think that's where I'm coming from. I want to offer to you guys that I want you to just check in and see if you're using busyness, this urgent, rushing movement, or frantic experience in your body to avoid discomfort. And if so, that's good to know. Let's not judge that. Let's not beat you up. Let's not be unkind. Let's just acknowledge that that is a normal response to having anxiety. In fact, it's a big part of what's kept us alive for all these years. That's true. And we can return back. Once we catch that we're doing those behaviors, we can return back to staying effective in our skills. But I don't want you guys to worry that you are overusing busyness.  I think that the discussion I had online was to say, isn't this a wonderful opportunity for us to see how anxiety or OCD or any anxiety disorder can make a really healthy behavior into a compulsive behavior? You might flip between the two, it mightn't be all or nothing. An example of that might be prayer. Prayer is a beautiful practice for those who are spiritual. However, we can sometimes overuse prayer in a compulsive manner in this urgent, frantic, trying to get anxiety to go away manner, and then it's being misused.  There may be sometimes you use prayer in this beautiful non-compulsive way and there'll be other times when you're absolutely using it as a safety behavior. Same goes for cleaning, same goes for thinking through your problems. There will be times when thinking through problems and solutions is a very effective behavior. However, there will be other times if you're doing it with a sense of urgency to make the discomfort go away or you're doing it to try and figure out something that you know you won't figure out because there's really no solution to it—that's something for us to keep an eye out for. There are so many ways in which this can get blurred. Asking for help and reassurance. It's not a problem to go to your loved ones and say, “I have this really huge presentation at work, would you let me rehearse it to you and you can give me feedback?” That's an effective behavior. However, if we are doing that repetitively and we are doing it coming from this desperate place of urgency to get certainty and removal of discomfort, that's how we may determine whether the behavior is a safety behavior that we want to start to reduce. I want to just offer this to you. If we're being honest, this episode isn't really about just the busyness. It's being able to, again, for yourself, determine are the behaviors you're doing being done because they line up with your values? Are they being done with a degree of willingness to also bring anxiety with you? I think that's a huge piece of the work that I have to catch, which is, okay, I'm rushing, I'm hustling, I'm engaging in busyness just for the sake of trying to get rid of that discomfort. Can I pause and return back to that behavior? Because it might be a behavior or an activity I need to get done. But can I do it with an increased sense of willingness to bring anxiety along for the ride? Can I do it with a sense where I'm not trying to train my brain that anxiety is bad? Can I just say, “Yeah, it's cool. Anxiety is here, let's bring it along”?  I want to, again, reinforce to you guys, it's okay that you haven't figured this out because it's probably ever-changing. There will be times when you are engaging in compulsive busyness and there'll be other many times in which you're not. What I would encourage you to do is not to spend too much time trying to figure out which is which, because that can become a compulsion as well. A lot of this is just accepting that nothing is perfect and just moving one step at a time moving forward as you can kindly and compassionately.  The only other thing I want to address here is this idea of a good distraction and a bad distraction. I think that this has been an argument or a complex discussion in the anxiety field for a long time. When I first was trained as an anxiety specialist, there were all these articles that talked about bad distraction, that distraction is bad and we shouldn't do it, and we should just have our anxiety and let it be there and then focus on it and so forth. I actually don't agree with that. In fact, I would go as far as to say, a real mindful practice would be taking the judgment out of destruction in general and saying that distraction is neither good nor bad. What distraction is, is up to you to decide whether it's helping you and is helpful behavior that brings you closer to your recovery goals or not. I don't want you to spend too much time trying to figure it out either, again, because I think it gets us caught in this mental loop of, am I doing recovery right? Am I doing my treatment right? Am I using the skills perfectly?  I think when we get to that point, we're too far in the weeds and we have to pause and let it be imperfect and let it be uncertain and do our best not to try and solve that one, because often how would we know? There isn't actually an answer to what's bad and what's good. I wouldn't encourage you to place good and bad labels on those kinds of things because that usually will just keep you in a loop of anxiety anyway.  That's just a few ideas on this idea of being overly busy being a compulsion. I really want to make sure I say one more time. I think there is absolutely an opportunity for us to consider that busyness is also neither good nor bad. It just is, and that you for yourself can determine whether it's helpful for you to stay busy or not. What I will say—and I will use this as an example, I think I actually did a podcast episode on this—not long ago, my parents were voyaging across the Drake Passage, which is a very dangerous body of water that takes you from South America to Antarctica. It's usually very, very calm or it can be incredibly dangerous to pass the Drake Passage. For the 18 hours that they were passing that, I engaged in a lot of busyness. I would say it wasn't compulsive either. It was, I knew they were doing something scary. I knew that it would be probably fine, but it was still uncertain. I knew that there was nothing I would do to make my anxiety go down during that 18 hours. I knew I probably wouldn't get a good sleep because I love them dearly and I want them to have a safe trip. I just said to myself, “I'm going to mindfully go from one activity to another. Because I don't want to engage in a bunch of mental rumination, I'm just going to gently stay busy.” I think that's fine. I think that that is effective. In fact, I was very proud of how I handled that. I was able to resist the urge to text them at two in the morning and be like, “Take a photo of the waves. I want to see that you're okay.” You know what I mean?  I want to just offer to you that to check in whether your busyness is compulsive, be gentle with yourself either way to discuss with your mental health provider on what is a great way for you to engage in this kind of behaviors and for you to come up with your own protocol on how to determine when you've crossed over from being busy into compulsive busyness. That's it. I think that from there, you can be gentle with yourself and practice being uncertain about what's right and wrong.  I hope that was helpful. I'm very much just chatting to you. I didn't do a whole ton of prep for this. I just wanted to include you in the conversation on “Is being overly busy a compulsion?” I wanted to give you some ideas and things to look out for and I hope that it helps you move forward towards the recovery that you're looking for. Have a wonderful, wonderful day.

What To Do During And After An Exposure? | Ep. 321

Your Anxiety Toolkit

One of the most common questions I get asked is what do I do during or after an exposure?  Number One, it's so scary to do an exposure, and number two, there's so many things that people have brought up as things to do, even me, this being Your Anxiety Toolkit. Maybe you get overwhelmed with the opportunity and options for tools that it gets too complicated. So, I want to make this super easy for you, and I want to go through step by step, like what you're supposed to do during or after an exposure. Now, I think it's important that we first look at, there is no right. You get to choose, and I'm going to say that all the way through here, but I'm going to give you some really definitive goals to be going forward with as you do an exposure, as you face your fear. Now, make sure you stick around to the end because I will also address some of the biggest roadblocks I hear people have with the skills that I'm going to share.  Now, a lot of you know, I have ERP School if you have OCD and I have Overcoming Anxiety and Panic if you have panic, and I have BFRB School if you have hair pulling and skin picking. These are all basically courses of me teaching you exactly what I teach my patients. So, if you want a deeper in-depth study of that, you can, by all means, get the steps there of how to build an exposure plan, how to build a response prevention plan. Today, I'm going to complement that work and talk about what to do during and after an exposure. So here we go.  Let's say you already know what you're going to face. Like I said, you've already created an exposure plan. You understand the cycle of the disorder or the struggle that you are handling, and you've really identified how you're going to break that cycle and you've identified the fear that you're going to face. Or just by the fact of nature being the nature, you've been spontaneously exposed to your fear. What do you do? Now, let's recap the core concepts that we talk about here all the time on Your Anxiety Toolkit, which is, number one, what we want to do is practice willfully tolerating whatever discomfort you experience. What does that mean? It means being open and compassionate and vulnerable as you experience discomfort in your body. A lot of people will say, “But what am I supposed to do?” And this is where I'm going to say, this is very similar to me trying to teach you how to ride a bike on this podcast. Or I'll tell you a story. My 11-year-old daughter was sassing me the other day and I was telling her I wanted her to unpack the dishwasher, and she said, “How?” She was just giving me sass, joking with me. And I was saying to her, “Well, you raise your hand up and you open your fist and you put your hand over the top of the dishwasher and you pull with your muscles down towards your--” I'm trying giving her like silly-- we're joking with each other, like step by step. Now, it's very hard to learn how to do that by just words. Usually—let's go back to the bike example—you have to get on the bike and feel the sensation of falling to know what to do to counter the fall as you start to lean to the left or lean to the right. And so, when it comes to willfully tolerating your discomfort, it actually just requires you practicing it, and if I'm going to be quite honest with you, sucking at it, because you will suck at it. We all suck at being uncomfortable. But then working at knowing how to counter that discomfort. Again, you're on the bike, you're starting to feel yourself move to the right and learning to lean to the left a little to balance it out. And that's what learning how to be uncomfortable is about too. It's having the discomfort, noticing in your body it's tightening, and learning to do the opposite of that tightening. It is very similar to learning how to ride a bike. And it's very similar in that it's not just a cognitive behavior, it's a physical thing. It's noticing, “Oh, I'm tight.” For me, as I get anxious, I always bring my shoulders up and it's learning to counter that by dropping them down. So, it's willfully tolerating discomfort.  Now, often beyond that-- I'm going to give you some more strategy here in a second. But beyond that, it's actually quite simple in that you go and do whatever it is that you would be doing if you hadn't faced this hard thing.  Here is an example. The other week during the holidays, one of my family members-- I'll tell you the story. My mom and dad took a trip to Antarctica. This is a dream trip for them. They're very well-traveled and they were going through what's called the Drake Passage, which is this very scary passage of water. It took them 36 hours to sail through it and it can be very dangerous. And I noticed that the anxiety I was feeling in my body about the uncertainty of where they are and how far they've got to go and are they safe and all these things is I was sitting on the couch and I wasn't engaging in anything. My kids were trying to talk to me and I was blowing them off. And I was scrolling on my phone instead of doing the things I needed to do. I was stuck and I was holding myself in this stuckness because I didn't want to let go of the fear, but I did want to let go of the fear. It was this really weird thing where I was just stuck in a sense of freeze mode. And I had to remind myself, “Kimberley, they're sailing through the Drake Passage. There's nothing you can do. Go and live your life. Holding yourself on this couch is not going to change any outcome. You thinking about it is not going to change any outcome. Just go ahead with your life.” And so, what I want to offer to you is—I've said this to my patients as well when they say, “What am I supposed to do now? I've done the exposure. What am I supposed to do?”—I say, do nothing at all. Just go about your day. What would you do if anxiety wasn't here? What would you be doing if you didn't do this exposure? What would the non-anxious you go and do? And as you do that-- so let's say you're like, “Well, I need to do the dishes or I need to unpack the dishwasher,” as you do that, you will notice discomfort rise and fall. And just like riding a bike, you are going to practice not contracting to it. Just like if you were riding a bike and you started to lean to the right, you would be practicing gently leading to the left. And if you go too far to the left, you would practice gently leading to the right. And that's the work of being uncomfortable. Now, you're not here to make the discomfort go away. You're here to practice willfully allowing it and not tensing up against it while you go and live your life. And I literally could leave the podcast there. I could sign off right now and be like, “That's all I need you to know,” because that is all I need you to know, is practice not contracting. Meaning not tensing your muscles, not trying to think it away, fight it away, push it away. What you're really doing is allowing there to be uncertainty in your life or discomfort or anxiety in your life and just go and do what you love to do.  To be honest, the biggest finger, like the bird, I don't know what you call it. Like the biggest in-your-face to anxiety, whatever anxiety you're suffering, is to go and live your life. And so, I could leave it at that, but because I want to be as thorough as I can, I want to just check in here with a couple of things that you need to know. Often when, and we go through this extensively in ERP School and in Overcoming Anxiety and Panic, is when you are uncomfortable, there are a set of general behaviors that humans engage in that you need to get good at recognizing and create a plan for. And these are the things we usually do to make our discomfort go away. So, the first one is a physical compulsion. “I'm uncomfortable. How can I get it to go away? I'll engage in a behavior.”  So, remember here that exposures are really only as good as the response prevention. Now for those of you who don't know what response prevention is, it's ultimately not doing a behavior to reduce or remove the discomfort you feel that's resulted from the exposure. So, you do an exposure, you're uncomfortable, what behaviors would you usually do to make that discomfort go away? Response prevention is not doing those behaviors.  So, the first one is physical compulsions. So, if you notice that you're doing these physical repetitive behaviors, chances are, you're doing a compulsion of what we call a safety behavior and you're doing them to make the discomfort go away. So, we want to catch and be aware of those.  We also want to be aware of avoidance. Often people will say, “Okay, I faced the scary thing, but I don't want to make it any worse so I'm going to avoid these other things until this discomfort goes away.” Now, first of all, I'm going to say, good job. That's a really good start. But we want to work at not doing that avoidant behavior during or after the exposure as well. In addition, we want to work at not doing reassurance-seeking behaviors during or after an exposure.  So, an example that that might be, let's say you're facing your fear of going to the doctor. But as you're facing your fear of going to the doctor, you're sitting there going through WebMD or any other health Google search engine and you're trying to take away your discomfort by searching and researching and getting reassurance or texting a friend going, “Are you sure I'm going to be okay? Are you sure bad things aren't going to happen?” Now, one of the things that are the most hardest to stop when you've done an exposure or during an exposure is mental compulsions. So, I want to slow down here for you and I want to say, this is a work in progress. We're going to take any win that we can and celebrate it, but also acknowledge that we can slowly work to reduce these mental compulsions. Now a mental compulsion is rumination, problem-solving, thinking, thinking, thinking. Like I said to you, when I was on the couch, I was just sitting there going over all the scenarios going, “I wonder if they're going up or down or what they're doing. And I hope they're avoiding the big waves and I hope they're not stuck and I hope they're not scared and I hope they're okay.” All the things. All that I hope they are was me doing mental compulsions.  And so, you won't be able to prevent these all the time. But for me, it was observing again, when I'm contracting. The contraction in this case was mental rumination. And then again, just like a bike, noticing, I'm focusing in, very, very zoomed in on this one thing. How can I zoom out, just like it would be leaning from left to right if I was riding a bike—zoom out into what's actually happening, which is my son's right in front of me asking me to play Minecraft or play Pokemon or whatever it is that he was asking, and the dishes need doing. And I would really love to read some poetry right now because that's what I love to do.  So, it's catching that and being aware of that. And again, it's not something I can teach you, it's something you have to practice and learn for yourself in that awareness of, “Ooh, I'm contracting. Ooh, I'm zooming in. I need to zoom out and look at the big picture here. I need to look at what my values are, engage in what I want to be doing right now.” The last way that we contract is self-punishment. We start to just beat ourselves up. So, you did the exposure, you're feeling uncertain, you might be feeling other emotions like guilt and shame and embarrassment and all the emotions. And so, in effort to avoid that, we just beat ourselves up.  I have a client who does amazing exposures, but once they've done the exposure, they beat themselves up for not having done the exposure earlier. It's like, ouch. Wow. So, you're doing this amazing thing, facing this amazing fear, practicing not contracting, doing actually a pretty good job, but then engaging in punishing themselves. “Why didn't I do this earlier? I should have done this years ago. I could have saved myself so much suffering. I could have recovered earlier. I could have gotten to college earlier. I could have succeeded more.” Again, that's a contraction that we do during exposure to fight or react to the fact that you have discomfort in your body.  And what I really want to offer you, again, let's go back to basics—this is just about you learning to be a safe place while you have discomfort. So, you're having discomfort, you're riding the bike. Please don't just use this podcast as a way to fill your brain with all the tools and not implement it. I will not be able to teach you to metaphorically ride a bike until you put your little tush on the bike seat and you give it a go and you fail a bunch of times.  And so again, this is you learning to sit on the bike metaphorically, doing an exposure, noticing you're falling to the right and learning to be aware of that and learning what the skill you need to use in that moment and then learn how to adjust in that moment. And that's the work. That's the work—gently, kindly, compassionately, tending to what shows up to you as if you really matter because you really, really matter.  Let me say that again. You're going to tend to yourself. I'm saying it twice because I need you to hear me. You're going to tend to yourself compassionately because you matter. This matters. You are doing some pretty brave things. Right now, I'm wearing my “It's a beautiful day to do hard thing” t-shirt. It's what I wear every Wednesday because it's my favorite day to record podcasts and to do this with you. So yeah, that's what we're going to do. We're going to sit together, we're going to do the hard thing, we're going to do it kindly.  But again, let me come back to the real simplicity of this, is just go do you and let it be imperfect. Exposures are not going to be perfect. You're not going to do them perfect. Just like if I learn to ride a bike for the first time, probably going to crash, but the crashes will teach me what to do next time I'm almost about to crash. Now, as I promised you, there are some common roadblocks, I would say, that get in the way and they usually are thoughts. Now if you have OCD, we go through this extensively in ERP School because it does tend to show up there the most, but it does show up with panic as well a lot, is there are roadblocks or thoughts that pull us back into contraction because when we think them, we think they're real. An example would be, what if I lose control and go crazy? That's a really common one. A lot of times, that thought alone can make us go, “Nope, I refuse to tolerate that risk,” and we contract, and we end up doing compulsions. And the compulsion or the safety behavior takes away the benefit of that initial exposure.  Another one is, what if I push myself too hard, like have a heart attack or my body can't take it and I implode? As ridiculous as it sounds, I can't tell you how many of my patients and clients in the 10-plus years I've been practicing—way more, close to 15 years—I've been practicing as a therapist, clients have said, “I've completely ejected from the exposure because of the fear I will implode,” even though they know that that's, as far as we know, not possible. Again, I've never heard of it before, I've never seen it before, except on cartoons.  So, again, it's being able to identify, I call them roadblocks, but there are things that come up that make us eject out of the exposure like you're in Top Gun. I loved that movie, by the way. But that whole idea of like, you pull a little lever and you just boom, eject out of the exposure like you're ejecting out of an airplane or a flight, fast jet, because of a thought they had. And so, your job, if you can, again, is to be aware of how you contract around thoughts that are catastrophic. A lot of people, depending on the content of their obsessions, every little subtype of anxiety, every different disorder have their own little content that keep us stuck. Your job is to get really good at being aware of, specifically, I call them allowing thoughts. They're thoughts that we have that give us permission to do, to pull the eject handle. I call them allowing thoughts. So, it might be, “No, you've done enough. You probably will lose control if you do that. So, you can do the safety behavior or the compulsion.” That's an allowing thought. Your job is to get used to yours and know yours and be familiar with them so that you can learn to, again, have good skills at countering that and responding. Again, think of the bike. That allowing thought is you tilting to the right a little bit when you're like, “Oops, nope, I'm going to fall if I keep tilting. I'm going to have to work at going against that common behavior I use that is continually contracting against willfully tolerating discomfort.”  Other bigger roadblocks are fear of panic, which is a common one. Again, mostly, people's thoughts around “I can't handle this.” You're going to have specific ones. Again, I don't want to put everyone in the same category. Everyone's going to have different ones. But please get used to your roadblocks or become aware of them, okay?  And that's it, you guys. I feel silly saying it, but that is it. Your job is to willfully lean in.  One other thing I would say, and I often give my patients the option, is I'll say to them, “Here are your choices. You've done an exposure. You ultimately have three choices.”  So, let's pretend—we'll do a role-play—we're in the room together or we're on Zoom, and the client has willingly done the exposure and then they start to freak out, let's say, in one specific situation. And I'll say, okay, you got three choices. You could go and do a compulsion and get rid of it. Go and make this discomfort go away if that's in fact possible for you. The other option is you could practice this response prevention and practice not contracting. That's another option for you. You get to choose. And there is this very sneaky third option, and I will offer this to you as well. The third option is, you could go and make it worse. And I have hats off to you if you want to choose that option. So, the go and make it worse would be to find something else to expose yourself to in that moment. Make it worse. Bring it on. How can we have more? What thoughts can I have that would make this even more scary? How could I do flooding? How could I find ways to literally say to your fear, “Come on fear, let's do this. I have so much more fear facing to do and I am not afraid and I'm going to do it.”  So you have three options. Please be compassionate about all three because you may find that you're choosing the first or the second or the third depending on the day, but they're yours to choose. There is no right. There is more ideal and effective. Of course, the latter two options are the most effective options. But again, when we learn to ride a bike, no one does it perfectly. We fall a lot. Sometimes if you've ridden a bike for a very long time and you are a skilled bike rider-- in fact, we have evidence that even bike riders who do the Tour de France still fall off their bike sometimes for ridiculous reasons, and we are going to offer them compassion. And if you are one of those who are skilled at this, but fall off your bike sometimes, that's not because anything's wrong with you. That's because you're a human being. Okay?  So that is what I'm going to offer you. The question, what do I do after and during I've done an exposure, is be aware of your contractions in whatever form they may be. Be kind. And if all else fails, just go and live your life. Go and do the thing you would do if you hadn't have that, didn't have that fear. It doesn't matter if you're shaking, doesn't matter if you're panicking, doesn't matter if you're having tightness of breath, you're dizzy, all the things. Be gentle, be kind, keep going. Do what you can in that moment, and you get to choose. You get to choose.  So, that is what I want you to hear from me today. I hope it has been helpful. I feel so good about making an episode just about this. Number one, I get asked a lot, so I really want to have a place to send them. And number two, I admit to making the mistake of sometimes saying go do an exposure and not actually dropping down into these very common questions that people have.  For those of you who are interested, we do have ERP School, Overcoming Anxiety and Panic, BFRB School. We've got time management courses, all kinds of courses that you can get. The link will be in the show notes. I do encourage you to go check them out if you're wanting step by step structural trainings to help you put together a plan. If you've got a therapist already or you're just doing this on your own, that's fine too. Hopefully, this will help lead you in the direction that's right for you.  All right. You know I'm going to say it. It's a beautiful day to do hard things. And so, I hope that's what you're doing. I am sending you so much love and so much well wishes and loving-kindness. Have a wonderful day and I'll see you next week with a very exciting piece of news.

So, what would make someone strap a sled loaded with 375 pounds of food and supplies onto their body, then drag it across a stormy, windswept, frozen landmass at the bottom of the earth for 54 days in brutal subzero temperatures, just to say they did it? What might the average person - meaning you and me - who has little to no interest in doing anything remotely so extreme, learn from this experience that would translate into our ability to live better lives, in far less brutal environments, every day? And, how might committing to a more accessible, single-day of challenge, radically change our perspective on all parts of life?These are the questions I had, and the topics we explore with today's guest, ten-time world record-breaking explorer, speaker, entrepreneur, and expert on mindset, Colin O'Brady. His feats include the world's first solo, unsupported, and fully human-powered crossing of Antarctica, speed records for the Explorers Grand Slam and the Seven Summits, and the first human-powered, 700-mile ocean row across Drake Passage, maybe the most dangerous and brutal body of frigid, wave-stream ocean that spans South America to Antarctica. Colin's highly publicized expeditions have been followed by millions and his work has been featured by The New York Times, The Tonight Show, The Joe Rogan Experience, and The Today Show. He is the author of The New York Times bestseller The Impossible First and now The 12-Hour Walk: Invest One Day, Conquer Your Mind, and Unlock Your Best Life.But, what got me so curious, was how preparing for and then mounting these extreme, physically-grueling challenges, was actually as much, if not more about the mind as it was about the body. And, I wanted to know, beyond why anyone would do these things, how they changed him, as a human being, what we all might learn from this and how we might create more accessible, yet transformative versions in our own lives, and experience the powerful benefits that come from them? And, as part of that, we talk about an interesting invitation he's created to say yes to what he calls The 12-Hour Walk.You can find Colin at: Website | The 12-Hour Walk | InstagramIf you LOVED this episode you'll also love the conversations we had with Rich Roll about the interplay between body and mind and how we can use each as a lever to evolve the other.Check out our offerings & partners: My New Book SparkedMy New Podcast SPARKEDVisit Our Sponsor Page For a Complete List of Vanity URLs & Discount Codes.ClickUp: 15% Off.
