In today's episode, Gina discusses four core hidden patterns of

thought that can keep us in the negative anxiety cycle.  Negative
self-talk is a major factor in keeping our anxiety around.  The other
thought patterns are just as insidious.  Practices for dealing with and
even eliminating these harmful thought patterns are suggested.

Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the roots of

anxious thinking, aiming to illuminate the underlying patterns that
contribute to our emotional struggles. Together, we explore four key
areas that can help uproot these anxious tendencies and cultivate a
state of peace and calm. I emphasize the importance of addressing these
roots rather than merely treating the symptoms, as addressing the
superficial aspects of anxiety often results in the same issues
resurfacing in different forms.
The first root I discuss is
negative self-talk, an insidious habit that can go unnoticed yet
significantly impacts our mental well-being. I invite listeners to
engage in a reflective journaling practice where they can track moments
of negative self-dialogue throughout their day. By revisiting these
thoughts and reframing them with kindness, we can begin to break the
cycle of self-criticism and cultivate a more compassionate internal
narrative.
Next, I tackle the expectations we place on ourselves
and others. Many of us wrestle with unrealistic standards, believing we
must always be in control and perfect. I suggest reframing these
expectations by asking ourselves if we can hold our desires lightly and
embrace the unpredictability of life. This shift in perspective allows
us to approach challenges with grace and flexibility, rather than
succumbing to panic when things don’t align with our plans.
