Welcome to Feel Better Live More Bite Size, your weekly dose of positivity and optimism to get you ready for the weekend.

Today's clip is from episode 370 of the podcast with physician and neuroscientist Dr. Russell Kennedy.

Russell's core message is that it's often more effective to use the body to calm the mind

than the mind to calm the body.

And in this clip, he explains why anxiety may have less to do with our thoughts

than we realize and shares practical strategies that could help us

begin breaking the anxiety cycle.

I feel for you.

Like if you have anxiety, I know what it's like. I know what it's like to feel like this is never going to get better. I'm going to have this for the rest of my life. And I'm here to tell you that it's not. That's not true. For a lot of people, they won't believe that. But it's not true. You don't have to live like this. and I really want to change the way that anxiety is understood and treated.

And I think want to change the way that anxiety is understood and treated.

And I think if it sort of starts to overtake your life,

like if you're waking up every morning and you're starting to worry,

what I call the three Ws of worry, warnings, what ifs, and worst case scenarios,

and they kind of accelerate.

If you're waking up with it every day, if it's a constant factor in your life, then we've got to do some.

Anxiety is a part of human existence.
