You heard me speak a little bit ago about anxiety. Now, what most of us know is that a little bit of anxiety can actually be a good thing. It's something that I learned during my training as a CIA officer when they taught us to use anxiety.

as a tool. We were supposed to use anxiety for three things. First was protection. If we were in a strange place with swarthy characters, our anxiety was there to keep us alert, vigilant of our surroundings. We took note of the people that we saw, their appearance, their body language. We took in smells, we listened for sounds, and then we compared all of that to what we knew to be normal. That's called a threat assessment. In other words, we used that dash of vigilance, that anxiety, to protect ourselves. The second thing that we were taught to use anxiety for is motivation. During training and out in the field, all of us knew that we were being watched, first by our instructors and then by foreign adversaries. So we knew that we had to use a bit of that anxiety

to be the absolute very best. Yes, first to impress our colleagues, it's true, but ultimately to protect our sources, the people that we met with secretly that told us the ground truth about our greatest enemies. The third benefit of just a little bit of anxiety is growth. Sometimes we get stuck in a comfort zone, don't we? We get a little bit lazy. But if we have a touch of anxiety about our current life, it can kick us in the pants to get moving.

But as all of us know, a little bit of anything can go a long ways, and that's certainly true of anxiety. We were taught that our anxiety switches can sometimes get stuck in the on position. for instance, trying to be too alert, well, that could cause us to be paranoid, you know, to see surveillance, for instance, when it wasn't actually there. Or too much anxiety with our motivation could push us into perfectionism. We might refuse to move forward with an operation until we convinced ourselves that there was absolutely nothing that could go wrong. But that, of course, is a fool's errand. There's always risk. It's just about how to lower it, how to manage it. Finally,

too much anxiety can actually prevent growth because you are ruminating on something. You tell yourself, especially after a mistake, that you're not good enough, that others are better and always will be than you. That happens a lot to younger CIA officers as they're getting their sea legs. One of the best pieces of advice on how to manage all that anxiety, I actually got from a special ops officer who was very gravely injured in Iraq. He had stepped on IED and lost both of his legs. He said he dealt with a tremendous amount of anxiety in the first few years after his accident, obsessed about his future. He stood on all the things that could go wrong that might happen. Like, what if there were a fire in his house at night? And his prosthetic legs were too far away

or too cumbersome to quickly put on. He'd then be stuck in his burning house. He had a thousand scenarios that ran through his head, and it caused him tremendous debilitating anxiety. And then he said that he realized through reflection and therapy that he doesn't have much control over tomorrow. Yes, he should plan for things, he said, to protect himself, to keep motivated, to keep growing as a man, as a husband, and as a friend. But for him, he had to focus on today. He couldn't dwell on yesterday, like stepping on that IED and how life could have been different, if only he hadn't. And then he couldn't obsess about tomorrow either, all the things that might go wrong, because ultimately tomorrow's worries were out of his hands.

Because for him, those worries about tomorrow were all up to God. The O'Reilly Update will return in a moment with something that you might not know.

American cuisine is famous for a number of dishes, hamburgers and apple pie and fried chicken, of course, but one tradition has dominated our backyards for more than three centuries. That's barbecue. The first mention of the cookout dates back to 1672. And years later, George Washington praised the meal in his personal diary just before the American Revolution. wrote old George, quote, I rode into Alexandria to barbecue and stayed all night.

Researchers say that the technique, which of course is slowly heating meat over an indirect wood flame, was first used by indigenous tribes to preserve their proteins. Christopher Columbus and his crew, in fact, noticed this technique in their smoky dish and called it barbacoa. There are now four distinct styles of barbecue in the United States. There's Carolina, Kansas City, Memphis and Texas, each with its own characteristics. For instance, folks in K.C., well, they like their sauce.

In Tennessee, it's all about the ribs. Today, barbecue isn't just tasty. It means big business. Two billion dollars of cooking equipment are sold each year, including smokers and grills and fire pits. Last year, more than 70% of all homes in America held at least one cookout during the summer months. There are now more than 1,500 barbecue restaurants, and that's just in California alone. That number doubles in Texas, where it's always bigger, isn't it? If you're in the local supermarket, you also have a wide variety of choices when it comes to sauce. There are over 5,000 different companies serving the sweet stuff. Top-selling brand in the U.S. for the seventh straight year is Sweet Baby Rays.

according to eater.com, the most popular meats this summer are whole hog, ribs, pork shoulder, and then the number one goes to beef brisket. Yes, sir. And here's something else that you might not know. The pandemic is still having an impact on how we cook our food. Polls show that many Americans are ditching travel this summer and spending the weekends in our own backyards. And with all that free time, well, it's a perfect time to have a family cook out on some classic barbecue. If you're looking to make a traditional Texas beef brisket, well, clear your schedule. The entire process from smoking to carving, that takes at least 16 hours and requires 35 pounds of wood. We'll be right back. Hey, I'm Caitlin Becker, the host of the New York Postcast,
