When anxiety symptoms hit, it feels like your mind and body are in overdrive, speeding toward disaster with no way to slow down.I know this feeling all too well. There was a time when I went from being a world traveler to being stuck at home, completely overwhelmed by anxiety. It felt like I’d never find my way out.But I did – and this is what helped me.I started seeing anxiety like a car (because it’s your body’s alarm system stuck on overdrive): when the gas pedal (fight-or-flight) gets stuck, or the emergency brake (freeze response) kicks in, things spiral out of control.The turning point came when I stopped avoiding these feelings and changed how I responded to them. Instead of battling anxiety or trying to run from it, I began to work with it. I learned to build resilience and take back control through mindfulness and reframing negative thoughts.Now, I help others do the same.This episode explains how to stop anxiety symptoms, break free from the patterns that keep you stuck, and build a sense of confidence you never thought possible.Tune in!(This is an AI-generated episode inspired by my YouTube videos.
