398 – 3 Effective Tools to Relax Your Nervous System When You’re Feeling Anxious


Listen Later

Ever feel like anxiety just comes out of nowhere?

Your mind starts racing, your body tenses, and suddenly you’re either spiraling into overthinking or completely shutting down.

That feeling isn’t random—it’s your nervous system doing exactly what it’s designed to do: protect you. 

But when your body stays stuck in that loop, it’s exhausting.

In this episode, we’re breaking down three science-backed tools to help your nervous system settle in real time so you can shift from anxious and reactive to calm and grounded.

You’ll learn:

  • ✔️ Why anxiety isn’t “all in your head” — and what’s actually happening in your body when it hits
  • ✔️ Three simple, research-backed tools to calm your system fast (no apps or hours of meditation required)
  • ✔️ How body-based practices like pressure, breath, and shaking help your brain register safety
  • ✔️ How to integrate these tools into your daily rhythms and faith practice.

💡 Anxiety loses its grip when your body learns it’s safe. 

These tools will help you get there—one breath, one shake, one moment of grounding at a time.
