BBR #199: From fear to anxiety, action is the antidote

In this episode, we're talking about the super fun experience of waking up with anxiety and how to handle that. Anxiety is often misunderstood as a disorder, but it’s actually a natural fear response—your body’s way of asking for change, for you to do something, for action. 

I'll get into how stress overflow triggers anxiety and how your perception of stress can either heighten or reduce its intensity... and how your actions change your perception. It's a fun little loop. 

Key points covered:

• Anxiety is a signal, not a flaw—it’s your body’s brilliant response to perceived threats.
• Understanding anxiety as a request for action, not a problem to suppress.
• How low stress tolerance can distort your perception of situations, increasing anxiety.
• Practical tools for immediate relief.
• The power of curiosity—shifting from a fear-based to a curiosity-based relationship with anxiety.
• Expanding tolerance for discomfort by sitting with sensations instead of avoiding them.
• Empowering you to take control of your responses.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have actionable tools to work with anxiety. Action is the antidote to fear, start small and make it easy.
