In this segment of Caroline Cavanagh’s "Boost Your Energy" video, the anxiety specialist emphasizes the importance of surrounding oneself with supportive peers and cultivating a gratitude mindset to combat stress and low energy. She introduces her own informal group, the "Witches of Eastwick," as an example of a peer support network where women of similar age and life stage share challenges and vent, embodying a problem‑solving, vent‑listening dynamic. Cavanagh advises viewers to intentionally create comparable support circles—whether through work, community, or personal relationships—regardless of whether a romantic partner is involved. She then shifts to the practice of keeping a gratitude journal, noting that during tough times people tend to fixate on negatives, overlooking the positives that coexist in a dualistic world (up/down, black/white, front/back). By regularly recording appreciative moments, individuals can re‑balance their focus and boost emotional energy.

Chapters

surround yourself with the right people. So I have what I call my Witches of Eastwick, a group of, um, women similar age to me with similar age children, and we just bounce ideas off each other and it becomes an emotional support group. And it is very much, if we take, um, Nick's advice, we, we do. I've got a problem, can you help me? Or I just want to vent and everyone else listens. So create, uh, as far as you can, that support network, whether it's within a work environment with other people that have teenagers, or, you know, outside of the work environment. And it may include your partner, it may not, but have those people that you can go to. The second thing is a gratitude journal. When things are tough, we can often get so much more focused on the negative that we forget there is positives in the world. We live in a dualistic world. There is always the opposite. Up has its down, black has its white, front has its back.
