Today I talk about how we can make the brain more resistant to anxiety through mindfulness. Anxiety likes to trick us and suck us into autopilot, which is where we get lost in worry.  Mindfulness helps us wake up and get out of the vortex of rumination.

I have talked a lot about anxiety and the brain and wanted to look at how we can make the brain more resistant to anxiety and stop being so trigger-happy to anxiety. First, we need awareness. And while there are several components to awareness that I will be talking about in coming episodes, today I lay the foundation for building this awareness in the first place and the five elements of emotion to become aware of.

What is the difference between the amygdala and the cortex in anxiety? It is actually important to know the differences to ensure that our strategies are targeting the right part of the brain (at the right time!). It’s ineffective, for example, to use cortex-based strategies when the amygdala is activated. Check out today's episode to learn more. You can also WATCH HERE!
