It's happening because your brain is trying to protect you because it thinks there's something it needs to protect you from.
There isn't, but brains don't always, you know, do what we want them to.
It's instinct.
So what you need to do is when you feel like that is breathe really slow deep breaths because that reverses the surge of neurochemicals, which I've spoken to about.
That's what happens with anxiety.
It's the brain surging you with neurochemicals to get you ready for fight or flight.
And every physical symptom is to do with those neurochemicals and to get you ready to be stronger, faster, more alert, more powerful.
The problem with anxiety is if there's nothing to fight or flee, the neurochemicals build up and that's why anxiety feels awful.
And it can feel like there's something awful about to happen.
So that feeds into anxious thoughts.
Then that feeds back into anxious feelings.
And it's a bit of a loop.
So to break the loop.
