Summary
In today's episode, Gina outlines five useful ways to avoid anxiety, or in other words, to have an anti-anxiety mind. At the core of these suggestions lies a duality of emotion that we can use to guide ourselves: open-mindedness, flexibility and curiosity on one hand, and closed-mindedness, rigidity and frustration on the other hand. Using the techniques suggested in this podcast, we can cultivate a flexibility and open-mindedness that can help us resolve our anxious state.

| 0:52.0 | We all know this feeling of the curveball coming and we get that |
| 0:58.4 | it's more stress like we talked about in the last episode more stress coming. It really causes us to actually not |
| 1:06.3 | only deal with the stress that is in front of us, but if we have been struggling with anxiety and panic or if we have PTSD, we are thrown a real curveball in that our mind also takes it over and takes it into a very difficult place that maybe we didn't even need to go to. |
