welcome to today's episode of hot and unbothered
hello beautiful people and welcome back to my podcast if you're new here my name is brianna gomez and i am your host of hot and unbothered the ultimate podcast for leveling up our lives for identifying our dream ideal versions of ourselves and taking out the space in between because we are going to start today to show up in our dream lives you guys and a lot of that starts with mental health.
I feel like, you know, you can get carried away with the vision boards and the who you want to be, having all the success and the mindset and the morning and night routines, but a lot of it is totally up here in your head. So today I'm going to teach you
some things that a lot of you probably struggle with and i actually struggled with i literally grew up with crippling anxiety and shyness i was so shy i did not want to speak i had really terrible social anxiety it was pretty gnarly i would say i would have people speak for me and i feel like a lot of people
They don't recognize that because now I have this platform and this podcast where all I do is talk and yap to a bunch of people I just met on the internet, but we're all just best friends. So we're actually not strangers. This is a safe space. This is a community that we have built and I'm so happy you're here. I asked you guys what episodes you wanted to hear in the number one podcast.
winner which honestly breaks my heart was a topic suggestion that was how to deal with overthinking anxiety etc and that really resonates with me so i do have a lot to say about that and i know we live in a world where that is so chronic
people on an everyday basis who we would never even guess they deal with chronic anxiety, chronic overthinking, chronic stress, and we have no idea because it's something that's become so normalized in this world. It's become so normal to be like, oh, I have anxiety, I have stress, I'm overthinking, let's just deal with it. Let's just move on, not even mention it.

Chapter 2: How can releasing control help reduce anxiety?
to becoming a non-overthinker is deciding that you don't have to be the same person. You don't have to be that anxious girl. You don't have to be that shy girl. How do you think I'm sitting here talking to you on your screen? It's because I decided I wasn't going to be shy anymore.
I wasn't going to be afraid because if I want to accomplish these things and these dreams and goals I have for myself, I can't be the same person I was yesterday. I don't have to be the shy, crippling anxiety girl whose hands would sweat and who would get choked up and her voice would shake when she had a talk in front of a small group of people.
Now I can be this girl who wants to share her message and her growth journey with the world and see other girls grow and now I can talk to millions of people because I have a purpose and I have a reason and I am not the same person I was back then with the anxiety and this would never happen. I would not be here speaking to you
if i let myself limiting beliefs define me so whatever you don't like about yourself whatever you are afraid of that does not have to be true starting right now so that's step one is choose your identity every day we have the choice of who we want to show up as and that is such a beautiful gift that we get and oftentimes as humans we feel like we are put in this cage and in this cage roams our anxieties
and our fears and our worries and our anxious thoughts, but you don't realize that the door to this cage is unlocked the whole time. You spend your whole life living in this cage surrounded in these treacherous waters with scary anxious thoughts and overthinking and intrusive thoughts that you don't even realize that the whole time you can just turn the door and walk through it.
You were just assuming that it was locked. You were just assuming that there was no way out. When the whole time you hold the key, all you have to do is be brave enough to step out of it.
Be brave enough to step out of this box because you've been living with these lies your whole life, these anxious thoughts that you keep feeding yourself, that you were too timid to even see the life that's outside of it. So that's the perspective I need you to have, is that the sky is truly the limit.
You might think that you are stuck in this box, but there's a door and a way out the whole entire time. You just have to have the courage, to step outside of it, to step into a different reality, and to enter a world where these anxieties and fears do not exist. Now, when it comes to overthinking, let's define what overthinking really is, right?
Because there's so many types of thinking, so many thoughts we have on an everyday basis, and what are the differences between overthinking and regular thinking? There's such a fine line, right? So in a lot of ways, overthinking can be the amount of time that you let yourself think about something. So there's thinking about something, then there's obsessing over it, worrying about it, fearing it.

Chapter 3: Who is Brianna Gomez and what is her journey with anxiety?
And he was using the example of how a lot of girls cry on their birthdays and he's kind of like, why is that? And it's funny because it's true because on my birthday, I plan out everything.
I've been looking forward to it I've been thinking about it obsessing over it forever and then it comes and it doesn't go the way I wanted it and I'm so bummed out and every girl cries on her birthday which shouldn't be the case it should be enjoyable and it should be fun and it should be about you and you being happy but instead most of us are like distraught on our birthdays because something didn't go according to plan and we want it to be perfect and we hold on to this idea of perfect and wanting things to be a perfect way and then it doesn't happen and
And we totally lost it. And I am going to dive all into how to release control and how to detach. But I just want to reel it in for a second. There is a difference between analyzing and over analyzing. There's a difference between being ready and stalling. And there is a difference between thinking and overthinking. And it might be a very fine line, but just do yourself a favor.
When you are having a moment of distress or overthinking, ask yourself, which one are you doing? Are you thinking or are you overthinking? and learn how to discern the two. Overthinking is quite literally like a flame. And when you have an idea in your head, that's the spark.
And this spark, it can either turn into a light, it can be a bright idea, a light bulb, a candle that's lighting the room, or it can literally burn your house down.
okay and you need to learn how to contain it keep it as a light keep it as something good keep it as an idea but when we add a little too much fuel to the fire suddenly the buildings burning down and it's too far gone and there's nothing you can do to contain it again and it's like a wildfire and spreading everywhere that is how anxious thoughts are for a lot of us right you just kind of do that snowball effect once it starts going a little too far
It keeps rolling and piling up and you can't catch up and it just keeps doing that snowball effect because what us overthinkers love to do is shove it under the rug. We love to shove it under the rug when we are feeling anxious about something. We might have social anxiety, for example, right? You go out in public, you're shaking, your palms are sweaty, you can't speak or whatever.
It makes you super anxious, does not feel good. And instead of coming home and And addressing that within ourselves, trying to heal it, trying to kind of reflect and ask ourselves, you know, what was that? Or how can I heal from that? How can I make it better? How can I make that stop? We just accept, you know, I just have social anxiety. That's just the way I am.
And we shove it under the rug and we save it as a later problem. And the next time we step out, the anxiety feels even worse. Or when we're worried about something, instead of talking about it, some of us like to kind of brush it away, shrug it off, and then it just piles up. Because we keep building on top of that.
