One minute you’re answering emails or making your morning coffee, and the next...

• Chest – tight ✔️
• Stomach – in knots ✔️
• Mind – catastrophizing about a million worst-case scenarios ✔️
• What ifs – piling up (and you can’t get rid of them) ✔️

(The list isn’t finished.)

You feel like something is seriously wrong. But it’s not. Your body and mind aren’t broken. (Yes, I’m sure, I’ve been there.) 

Your nervous system just doesn’t know the difference between a real threat and a stressful thought. That’s why a deadline or a random worry can trigger the same response as real danger.

And here’s the tricky part – the more you try to fight anxiety symptoms, the stronger they are. Trying to calm yourself down can actually send the message that something is wrong.

So what actually helps?

In this episode I’m sharing a simple grounding technique you can use whenever anxiety feels overwhelming. I’ll also talk about why quick fixes don’t work and what actually helps calm an anxious mind for good.

Tune in now.
