We always store things in our bodies, especially our anxieties. So see if you can locate it and then breathe into it. So just giving it a little bit more space, almost imagining like when you breathe into the fear, It's dissipating it. Or imagine breathing around the fear, making your body bigger. And inherently that then makes the fear smaller if you are visualizing it.

And if you're not a visual person, I do encourage you to just try this and you'll see that you're just going to be able to... get more into that relaxed state, right? We've got body, acknowledge, feel. Now we're on A for action. What is one step that you can take right now to address your fear? This has to be something you do in the moment. So it's gotta be realistic. It's gotta be reasonable.

And maybe it shouldn't take you more than five to 10 minutes. Just anything to get you from the thoughts and the feelings into movement, momentum, action. You will feel so much better knowing that you are doing something about the fear. And the last letter is H and that stands for hum. Yes, humming.

It stimulates the vagus nerve, which helps to move your body from that fight or flight state into more of a place of relaxation. I encourage you to try humming at any point during the day. I do it just naturally, but especially if you are feeling all kinds of feelings, let's do it together. Yeah, it does help.

And if you're feeling disconnected from your fears and your feelings, right, when you ask yourself, what am I actually feeling here now? What am I actually afraid of? And you just can't come up with anything. By the way, that's a lot of us. I want you to go look up the emotions wheel. It's also called the feelings wheel. And it's going to help you pinpoint at least one emotion.

For example, are you feeling bad? And then from there, it will prompt you, well, okay. More specifically, are you tired? Are you stressed? Are you busy? Are you bored? And then prompt you again.

The whole point is to get more familiar with the range of emotions that we have, the nuances around them, because when you're specific about what you are feeling, that can help then direct you to take more specific action to address it instead of just trying a whole bunch of stuff, seeing what sticks, and up, we're too exhausted, and we're back to our old patterns.

But I'll tell you this, whatever you are feeling in the moment, there's often a core fear beneath it, okay? And usually it boils down to two things. And I don't mean to grossly simplify here, but this has been my experience and as well as the clients I've worked with. Here are the two core fears beneath a lot of the financial anxieties we have, and it is this. Number one, being helpless.
