Surgeons, text topics you want me to cover here.
As a society, we are collectively dealing with an epidemic of anxiety. And no, we can’t just calm down.

1. Anxiety lives in the left hemisphere, which has been strengthened by cultural messages
2. Anxiety is contagious
3. Anxiety must be replaced, not erased

Creatively calming anxiety is a 2 step process:
1. Be kind to yourself (like really though)
2. Ask your brain: What can I create from this situation?
