#480: Today we're talking about how our thoughts and feelings about anxiety affect the quality of our life. We'll be looking at the benefits of clearing resistance and resentment towards anxiety, and how that frees up our energy to start taking action steps toward feeling less anxious and more hopeful.   This Anxiety Slayer podcast is brought to you by New Beginnings: Daily Steps for Self-Acceptance and Peace of MindSave 30% for a limited time. Review the course at https://anxietyslayer.teachable.com/p/new-beginnings   Thoughts that keep us stuck in anxiety   Some thoughts we often hear are:    "I will never be free from panic attacks!"    "I know I'm stuck with this anxiety for life."   "I've tried everything and nothing works."     These are beliefs, not facts, and beliefs can be changed. Freedom from anxiety begins when we challenge those beliefs and look beyond them.    Breaking through the wall of anxiety When you see anxiety as an enemy or personalize it by saying you hate it, you are giving anxiety power over you.    It becomes something you have to fight, or you resent. Feeling this way about anxiety puts you in a victim mindset. You are feeding your anxiety and exhausting yourself.   We’ve all done it. It's the default setting of a suffering mind. You don't like how you feel, so you declare it. I hate this. I don't want to feel this way. But anxiety isn't personal. It's not listening and it's not going to back off and leave you alone - unless you make the choice to deal with it by taking action.     Two challenges for the anxious mind The mind tends to form grooves. Like an old record, our thoughts carve tracks that our mind falls in to and plays over and over again.   The mind also has a negativity bias, which means it's particularly drawn to unhelpful thoughts and beliefs and likes to replay them and ruminate on them.   This replaying makes the grooves of negative thought even deeper and difficult to escape, but we can, with determination and support.     Changing our mind is easier when it comes from our heart Changing the way you feel about your anxiety and switching your perspective to seeing it as an emotion, or a messenger that is trying to communicate something to you is a positive first step in regaining your power and sense of control over anxiety.   One way to do this is to ask yourself what would I love to do if I was free from anxiety?   When you practice looking for purpose and meaning in your life, anxiety becomes a hurdle between now and what you want to experience instead of a brick wall.   Using EFT Tapping to change unwanted thoughts  Tapping is a quick and effective way to change our unwanted beliefs and, in doing so, change your entire experience of anxiety from feeling trapped to feeling hope and finding freedom.   You can try it by yourself via a book or course or work with a practitioner for support and to make sure you cover all the aspects of the thoughts that are affecting you.

#476: We’re covering five common causes of anxiety to be mindful of. Listen in to know the triggers to look out for and how to stop them from escalating your anxiety.   Points covered in this episode: OVERSTIMULATION Ayurveda (India’s ancient science of life) teaches that the over-stimulation of the nervous system is the leading underlying cause of anxiety. Too much incoming information overloads our nervous system. Social media, news, intense movies, noise, change. Many of us live with constant noise and visual stimulation, even when we’re in bed trying to sleep there may be the rumble of traffic or aircraft or some other noise – these things are agitating to our nervous systems, and our nervous system becomes overwhelmed and overtaxed, and then we start to experience anxiety. Ayurveda teaches that the mind is very sensitive and easily disturbed. That is true for all of us; it is the nature of the mind to be disturbed. Accepting that fact and knowing how to help the mind feel safe and calm is one of the great lessons of personal development. Find out about getting support for calming anxiety with an Ayurvedic lifestyle consultation with Ananga   CAFFEINE Caffeine is a primary culprit in provoking anxiety. Symptoms caused by caffeine include: sleep disturbance adrenal fatigue feeling wired, anxious, or shaky Coffee doesn’t give energy, it sets off a reaction in the body that provokes stress hormones to provide a burst of alertness. Caffeine jolts the body into flight or fight mode. Most relevant for Anxiety Slayer listeners to note is that caffeine can spark anxiety episodes because it can make us feel like we’re having an episode. The physical responses to caffeine can feel the same as the symptoms of anxiety. For example: increased heart rate feeling unsettled and restless sweating or trembling Look out for caffeine in over-the-counter medications, as well as in coffee and energy drinks.   LOOPING “WHAT IF” THOUGHTS When unwanted thoughts arise, they often trigger an anxiety story in our head - something we fear, something we want to avoid at all costs, but the mind gets hold of the thought and starts expanding it into anxious predictions and possible outcomes and we get dragged along for the ride. What helps? We need to be mindfully engaged in whatever we’re doing. Even if it’s chopping vegetables, washing dishes, taking a shower, whatever the activity is, we need to practice being present in the moment.   LACK OF ROUTINE (again from Ayurveda) Change can increase anxiety. Especially for the vata body type. We become unsettled and ungrounded when our days are disordered and erratic. What helps? Set yourself a daily routine and follow it as much as possible: Try and get up and go to bed at the same time each day Eat regular meals - this will also help keep your blood sugar steady Eat breakfast: Favor a warm nourishing breakfast like oatmeal made with almond milk with some chopped dates and cinnamon. Bring Warmth into your day: warm baths soft, warm bed   PRESSURE/EXPECTATIONS Practice replacing the need to be perfect and simply show up in your best light. Please stop being too hard on yourself What helps?
