When anxiety feels overwhelming, most people think the solution is to eliminate anxious thoughts entirely. Lodro Rinzler, meditation teacher and author of "Take Back Your Mind," reveals why this approach backfires and shares a better strategy. Born into a Buddhist family and meditating since age six, Lodro discovered that meditation doesn't silence anxiety but changes your relationship with it entirely. In this episode of Fountain of Vitality, he teaches host LaMont Leavitt the simple "Is this helpful?" technique that stops anxious spiraling in its tracks and explains why sitting still for just five minutes can mysteriously create more time in your day. Lodro breaks down how our brains can't distinguish between a CNN alert and a saber-toothed tiger, why doom scrolling triggers the same evolutionary fear response as real danger, and shares his personal boundaries for consuming news without losing his sanity. For busy professionals who wear their hectic schedules as status symbols and anyone struggling with racing thoughts that hijack their focus, this conversation offers practical tools to reclaim mental space and discover the natural sense of peace that exists beneath the mental noise.
