114: Grief and Anxiety

Send a message to Megan

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:

1. Identity
2. Event
3. Thought
4. Emotion
5. Result

• 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.
