Responding to Anxious Thoughts: Are You Reinforcing Them?
Manage episode 489753610 series 3479678
Fighting your anxious thoughts every morning only to find they get stronger and more persistent throughout the day? Life coach Amanda reveals why "anxiety wrestling" is actually training your brain to create more worried thoughts, shares the three-step ritual that helped her client Emma break free from 3 AM spiraling sessions, and introduces the revolutionary approach of responding to anxiety with curiosity instead of resistance. Discover how the Pause Ritual creates micro-moments of choice between anxious thoughts and your reactions, why naming your anxiety patterns is the first step to changing them, and how small daily rituals can transform your relationship with worry without promising to eliminate it completely. If you're ready to stop being owned by your anxious thoughts, or curious about ritual-based practices that support your nervous system, this episode will show you how to respond from choice rather than reactivity.
