    034 — Difference Between Emotions and Feelings | How to Find Daily Clarity

    Can the difference between emotions and feelings really change how you handle anxiety? Today you will learn why emotions are the body’s raw signals and feelings are the stories your mind creates, and how this distinction can bring immediate calm in daily life. You will discover why philosophers and scientists debated this for centuries, what modern neuroscience reveals about the body reacting before the mind knows, and why anxiety so often begins with a misinterpretation of signals. We will explore how emotions protect, motivate, and connect you, while feelings give meaning that can either guide you or mislead you. You will see how anxiety spirals when a racing heart is labeled as danger, and how clarity allows you to pause, reframe, and regain control. Three practical tools will show you how to apply this knowledge: labeling emotions to calm the storm, expressive writing to transform chaos into clarity, and mood mapping to detect patterns that strengthen resilience. With insights from psychology and neuroscience, this session reveals that you are not broken. You are learning the language of your emotions. And when you unlock this language, your body and mind begin to trust each other again. --- How well do you manage anxiety?

    032 — Can Anxiety Cause Dizziness | Science-Backed Explanations and Relief

    Can anxiety cause dizziness, and how can you regain steadiness when your body feels out of control? Today you will learn why dizziness from anxiety is a real physiological response, not something imagined, and how neuroscience explains the link between stress, balance, and perception. You will understand how the vestibular system becomes hyper-alert under stress, how breathing patterns and hyperventilation can trigger sudden lightheadedness, and why adrenaline makes the inner ear hypersensitive. We will also explore why dizziness sometimes lingers as Persistent Postural Perceptual Dizziness, creating a loop between anxiety and imbalance. You will discover science-backed practices that calm the nervous system and retrain your body toward stability, including gaze stabilization, somatic tracking, breath–step synchronization, auditory anchoring, and micro balance challenges. Each practice builds confidence in your body’s ability to find steadiness again. With insights from psychology and neuroscience, this session shows that anxiety dizziness is not permanent. It can be understood, managed, and gradually replaced with a calmer sense of control and stability. --- How well do you manage anxiety?
