Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches

Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life.

Oh, Loh how welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's episode, I want to talk about four

ways that you can use to reenter peace and calm from an anxious state. We can start by bringing our awareness and

our conscious effort to our body.

By bringing awareness and effort to our body, we can ignite the rest and digest, tend and

befriend wing of our nervous system. and

digest tend and befriend wing of our nervous system, that's also known as our parasympathetic nervous system.

When we do this, we increase our feelings of well-being. We reduce stress and strengthen our

body's defenses. This is really important. Stress is not good for us and it's causing us more troubles than we need.

So the more we can learn to reenter our peace and calm, the better off we're going to feel all the way around.

By igniting our parasympathetic nervous system, we can bask in its cooling effects.

What it does, it's dampening the fire of stress and fear,

and we can actually interrupt the cycle of anxiety and chronic stress.

Stress and even feeling anxious are natural.

They're never going to have a world or a life without stress and

feeling nervous or upset about something and occasionally feeling anxious you

need to even use that word it's fine it's all natural and it does serve us

It is our going into the overdrive with stress and fear that we may freeze or we go into fight or flight chronically causing us to live

in a state of anxiety that is not natural and it is not useful. We're meant to live in our

parasympathetic nervous system. We're meant to live in the rest and digest tend and befriend wing of our nervous system.

This is where we default to.
