Connecting U: Anxiety Series
Season 2 is of the Connecting U Podcast focuses on anxiety. Mayra and Emily dive into relatable stories and advice for those struggling with anxiety.
Summary:
Anxiety feels like a bear is constantly chasing you through the forest. Even in low-stakes situations, people with high anxiety tend to engage in negative self-talk and live in a fearful state of mind.
Anxiety often looks like an obsession with control, as a way to create the pretense of safety. Be kind to yourself by acknowledging your fear, and try to release control in uncontrollable situations. Do one small thing you CAN control (that does not harm you), like painting your nails. Doing an activity excessively means you are probably trying to avoid restlessness and unease.
Peace is trusting that you will be okay when hard things happen. You can either live by avoiding death or seeking life.
Key Takeaways:
Learn where you are holding anxiety in your body.
Find coping mechanisms to release small amounts of anxiety in a healthy way.
Look for ways to make anxiety your ally.
If you are constantly worried or fearful, it is time to seek professional help.
Tune in to Season 2: Anxiety of Connecting U for insightful discussions and practical advice on grounding yourself in self-awareness and surrender.
