In this week's Anxiety Slayer podcast, we're talking about how to support yourself when anxiety flares up unexpectedly.
Points covered in this episode:
- We fear people noticing, loss of control, and our symptoms escalating into a full blown anxiety attack
- When we know how to stop an anxiety attack, we will have less fear of it happening
- How to use the Quick Anxiety Stopper to stop anxiety escalating
- How the long exhale breathing practice can help
- Introducing our new course: How to stop an anxiety attack in its tracks
Focus in what you can do you reduce your anxiety
- when we try and answer “why” we get caught in the anxiety loop
- if there’s a fire it’s more helpful to put it out by pouring water on it than it is to look for the cause
- we don’t need to know what causes anxiety to help ourselves overcome it
Be gentle with yourself
- Remember that this moment shall pass
- Get some fresh air every day
- It’s okay to ask for support
