Anxious or Excited? How to Tell the Difference & Take Back Your Power
✨ Episode Summary:
In this powerful episode of The Growth Lounge, Jessica dives into the surprising truth that anxiety and excitement often feel exactly the same in your body. You’ll learn the science behind why that is, how to reframe anxious energy into excited energy, and how to harness this shift for personal growth, faith, and freedom.
💡 Key Takeaways:
Anxiety and excitement share the same nervous system response.
The difference lies in how we interpret the experience.
You can flip the script by saying “I’m excited” and anchoring to your why.
Faith invites us to release anxiety and receive peace.
💫 Here’s how to flip the script in the moment:
- Name it. “This feels like anxiety, but what if it’s excitement?”
- Speak it. Literally say, “I’m excited.” Even if you don’t believe it yet.
- Anchor it. Connect it to the WHY—“I care because this matters. I’m growing. I’m showing up.”
- Breathe. Give your body a signal that you are safe. Long exhales help bring you back
🧠 Weekly Challenge:
When you feel nervous this week, pause and ask:
“Could this be excitement in disguise?”
Try saying “I’m excited,” breathe deeply, and step into the moment. Message Jessica on Instagram with how it went!
📖 Scripture:
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
