Start here: https://anxietyguyprograms.com Today's Episode on Anxiety and Burnout: What Is Your Body Trying to Tell You? What if some of the exhaustion you experience is not only about how much you are doing, but how much of yourself you are overriding while doing it? In today's episode, we explore the connection between anxiety, burnout, prolonged nervous system activation, people pleasing, emotional suppression, and repeatedly ignoring what your body is communicating. You may wake up feeling tired, tense, dizzy, heavy, or mentally drained and immediately assume you did too much physically. But another question may be more revealing: What did I override? Maybe you wanted to say no but said yes. Maybe you felt anger or resentment but stayed quiet. Maybe you kept performing, pleasing, smiling, or pushing forward while internally bracing. Over time, constantly overriding these internal signals can become biological work and contribute to prolonged activation. The body may first communicate quietly through tension, irritation, fatigue, resistance, or a simple internal feeling of no. When those signals are repeatedly ignored, the body may begin turning up the volume. The goal is not to analyze every sensation or allow symptoms to control your life. It is to become more honest and responsive to yourself. Sometimes that means resting, speaking up, asking for help, setting a boundary, or saying no. Other times it means recognizing fear while still moving toward something you genuinely want. Instead of immediately asking, "How do I get rid of this symptom?" ask, "What is my body actually showing me here?" And at the end of the day, ask yourself: "What is my body trying to tell me right now?" and "What has my body been trying to tell me all day?" ▶️ Listen and Subscribe 🍎 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/health-anxiety-podcast-show/id1461441374 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/79GbkgP2sxA8FJ97Qk1GKZ ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theanxietyguy1 🌐 Health Anxiety Podcast Episode Archive: https://theanxietyguy.com/podcasts/ 👥 About Dennis and Connect 📸 Instagram: https://instagram.com/theanxietyguy ▶️ YouTube: https://youtube.com/@theanxietyguy1 📘 Facebook: https://facebook.com/theanxietyguy 🌐 Official Website: https://theanxietyguy.com 📝 Disclaimer This podcast is for educational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.
