114: Grief and Anxiety

Episode Pointers :

Anxiety is not a problem.

The more you resist anxiety, the more intense it gets.

Having anxiety is your brain’s way of protecting you.

Thought Induced Anxiety is when your thoughts are like a ‘runaway train’. 

You do not need to believe every thought you think. Even if it feels true.

Acknowledge the anxiety, fear, and the worries. Then tell your brain that you are choosing a new thought now.

Emotional Framework:

Anxiety can present physically in your body.

Feel and hold space the sensations in your body, and not take action from the anxiety.

E.F.T. ( Emotional Freedom Technique) can physically calm your body down by tapping points in your body in a certain order, while feeling the anxiety and emotion, and speaking the thoughts or hearing them.
