36: Anxiety: How Self-Exploration & Curiosity Can Tame That Flame

The Everyday Awesome Project

Anxiety affects many people and can generate emotional worry, uncertainty of thoughts and sometimes lead to a full body physical response. Because your thoughts fuel your emotions and actions, we decided to talk about it this week and provide some relief ideas. Coach Sam opens up about her personal battles with anxiety, sharing how she has learned to harness and redirect that energy when she feels it ramping up. Through heartfelt anecdotes and practical advice, Coaches Polly and Sam discuss how questioning both your feelings and thoughts, rather than ignoring, can help keep anxiety at bay. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking for a free, accessible way to manage their emotional health.
When we get anxious, the amygdala part (our reptile like survival mode) of our brain turns ON and the prefrontal cortex (our human thinking straight mode) turns OFF. This causes us to see and feel threatened, even when there is no real threat whatsoever. Along this bumpy journey of self-exploration and personal development together we need to evaluate our old stories as well as societal norms that often drive us to override our own needs and body signals, causing us to become anxious. We discuss the importance of truly acknowledging any emotional or physical discomfort in our lives and addressing it head-on. We also delve into the damaging beliefs of unworthiness that many of us hold deep and explore how working to understand, rather than assuming or guessing, can pave the way to freedom from worry.
The transformative power of a curious mindset is something we are all born with. Learn how to unpack baggage and move forward with a fresh open heart. Get some practical steps for managing anxiety and finding joy as this episode offers a roadmap for growth and empowerment. You'll learn how to focus on what you can control, improve your overall well-being, and cultivate a sense of wonder in your everyday life.
