Aloha!

Welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

In today's episode, I'm talking about using your body to calm your anxious, fearful brain.

And I wanted to start out with two quotes.

And they are both from Amy Cutty.

And I think she's awesome.

And I think her book presence is what inspired me to talk to you guys about this again.

I know I've talked to you about it in the past, but she is awesome.

And I will have a link to her book presence in the show notes if you're interested in reading that.

The first quote I have from Amy is,

what I most want you to understand is that your body is continuously and convincingly sending messages to your brain

and you get to control the content of those messages.

That's super important.

You get to control the content of those messages.

This is why you hear me talk pretty often about using your body to break the cycle of fear, adrenaline, fear, right?

During that cycle, we get stuck in.

We can't always think ourselves out of that because the mind has gone off.

It is gone down the wormhole and it is time for us to use our body that is right in front of us to actually break that cycle.

And so the second quote that I have from Amy Cutty is,

tiny tweaks can lead to big changes.
