How Perception Creates Stress, Anxiety & Emotional Reactions | Pratiqk Jaani & The Psychology of Thought

Why does stress feel so real? Why can the same situation affect two people completely differently? And why can our thoughts and emotional reactions sometimes seem to have a life of their own?

In this episode of Wave Work Stress Goodbye, Luke Richardson is joined by Pratiqk Jaani, author of Dhrasti! The Perception, for a fascinating conversation exploring the relationship between perception, thought, conditioning, stress and anxiety.

Pratiqk explores how the way we perceive the world can shape our emotional experience, and how patterns of thinking and conditioning can influence the way we respond to situations in our personal lives and at work.

Together, Luke and Pratiqk discuss:

• Why stress and anxiety can feel so real
• How perception influences our experience of everyday life
• The relationship between thought, emotions and behaviour
• How conditioning can create recurring patterns of stress and anxiety
• Why two people can experience the same situation completely differently
• Why workplace situations aren't always the sole cause of workplace stress
• How our thinking can amplify pressure, worry and emotional reactions
• Why trying to control or stop our thoughts may not always be the answer
• The difference between having a thought and believing a thought
• How awareness can change the way we experience difficult situations
• Why understanding where our experience comes from can create greater clarity
• What this means for people struggling with work stress, overthinking and anxiety

Luke and Pratiqk also explore an important question: if our experience is influenced by perception and thought, do we always need to change what is happening around us before our experience can change?

This conversation offers a thought-provoking perspective for anyone experiencing workplace stress, career pressure, anxiety, overthinking, emotional overwhelm or recurring patterns of thought.
