See my book 📚 Ten Times Calmer for tons of practical advice to help you deal with anxiety problems. ✨Anxiety triggers scary physical sensations. Your natural instinct might be to focus on them, which fuels an internal state of alarm. This alarm tells your brain that you're in danger, causing the sensations to intensify. You then spiral into anxious thoughts like: "Is it a heart attack? Will I faint?"
✨The key is to acknowledge that these physical changes are normal during anxiety. Your job is to help your brain navigate through them.
✨The simple practice of shifting your attention by noticing sounds in your environment (birds chirping, traffic, rain/wind) or colours (like counting how many of a particular colour you can see) can help with this. Fixating on these external cues instead interrupts the hijacking of your attention by anxiety.
✨By doing this, you signal to your brain that these sensations aren't a threat. Over time, they become less intense, less scary, and may even disappear entirely.
