 Hello there. Okay, something a little bit new this week on the podcast. This is podcast number one eight eight. It is December 27th, 2021. We're in the middle of the holiday break. Hope everybody's doing really well. No intro music. This is going to be short. I want to tell you about a new project that I've been working on for the better part of the last year on and off and it is ready to go. The first episode of the anxious morning is due out on January 3rd, 2022. So next week, right after New Year's, the Monday after the holiday break ends will be the first episode of the anxious morning. What is the anxious morning? Every single weekday morning for 2022. And I hope beyond I will deliver into your email box or into your headphones. If you want to listen to the podcast version, three to 500 words, three to five minutes worth of audio that goes more in depth on one particular topic when it comes to anxiety and anxiety recovery. It is something that I hope you will be able to consume a little bit more thoughtfully in a quiet place and a little bit more safe or secure space and a less frantic space outside of the endless scroll and algorithmic chaos that is social media. I wanted to give you a better way to consume some of the information that I produce and to be completely honest with you, the best information I produce is when I sit at my keyboard and I write. That is when I am most effective and I cannot do that terribly effectively trying to do that through Instagram and Facebook posts and things of that nature. So the anxious truth every single weekday morning, it is an email newsletter all free and it is a second podcast also free that will be waiting for you every single morning. If you go to the anxious morning dot com, you will see all the ways to subscribe to the email newsletter and all the ways to listen to the new podcast when it comes out in January 3rd. Or if you just want to go and subscribe right away to the email, just go to the anxious morning dot email. If you're watching on YouTube, that's the URL down on the screen below me here. And that's that's the deal. We are going to do the usual inspiration, encouragement, empowerment. I'm going to share my stories in a little more detail. We're going to share the stories of others. We're going to talk about tips and techniques and the mechanical things that go along with recovery. We're going to bring some philosophy into that. I'm going to give you things to think about. I have the entire years worth of content already planned out and they already have the first six weeks of the year written, recorded and ready to go. I'm super excited about this. I think it's going to be really useful and I love the fact that we can take this outside of the fire hose and chaos of the usual social media like endless doom scroll. So that is why I am doing this. I'm hoping that this will be a more useful tool for you that you can consume in a more productive way and actually begin to integrate and use in your days as opposed to just scrolling and scrolling and scrolling and hoping that you remember or something catches your attention for 16 seconds. I'll give you something that you could actually read chew on mark up, take notes, whatever it happens to be and then use it. We're going to do that every weekday morning. And for me, the benefit is I think I can do this thing a little bit more effectively than I can do in the usual social media channels. So does that mean that the anxious truth podcast is going to change? No, it'll still come out every Wednesday. No problem. Does that mean my social media presence is going to change? No, I'm still going to be on the platform still be going to be in the Facebook group and we're working on the anxious truth community, which will launch in the first quarter and I'll tell you about that very soon. But I just want to find a better way to do these things. I am tired of forcing you to play by the rules of Facebook and Instagram and YouTube. I'm guessing you might be tired of playing by those rules when it comes to your mental health. Great for other things. No problem. I have no problem with those platforms. They were just never meant for this thing that you and I do together. So that is what this is all about. That's why I launched the anxious morning. That's why I'm adding the second project. I'm super excited about it. I always kind of wanted to do a little bit of a morning show and here it is. I get to write in depth to you every morning that arrives in your email box and I get to speak those words to you in a separate situation that is dedicated focused and a little more detailed and nuanced in each episode. Right. So little lessons, little recovery tips, little mechanical things, inspirations, empowerment, encouragement, support every single day as a daily podcast every weekday and as an email newsletter. So go to the anxious morning dot com or the anxious morning dot email. If you just want to subscribe right away to the newsletter, it's all free. I will continue to publish this podcast as always and I cannot begin to tell you how appreciative I am of all of you for really making all this happen because I'm only doing all of this because you keep asking me to do more. And frankly, I loved this. I love doing what I'm doing. This makes me feel good. It makes me feel like all the time that I suffered was not for nothing and I just I just love the community. I love watching you guys take this stuff and run with it. I love watching people maybe avoid some of the same mistakes that I made when I was struggling. So hopefully it's win-win for all of us. So go check out the new project. I appreciate it so much. If there's any questions, please let me know. I'll do my best to answer them. I hope you're going to dig it. Like I said, first episodes are ready to go. So we're going to start turning them out every Monday, Monday and January 3rd is the first episode every morning will come out new podcast, new email newsletter. So go check it out. Thank you for coming by today. I appreciate all of your support for the podcast, the books, everything that I do could not do without you guys. I hope that is continuing to be useful and I'm going to see you guys in the next episode next week. As always, have a good one.
