👉That Alarm In Your Brain⏰ | #shorts
The anxiety response is like a smoke alarm because it does not stop to work out the true cause of the warning signals it has picked up on. It just sounds the alarm. For example, you may get a rush of anxiety when you cross the road and suddenly spot a car coming towards you at speed. This would be a useful time to get that rush of adrenaline that helps you get to the side of the road quicker than you ever thought you could move. The next day, you may get a rush of anxiety at just the thought of crossing the road again. This may be a helpful signal to take care crossing the road, but does not signal immediate and urgent danger.
When anxiety gets triggered but we are not in danger, we have a number of options for calming the body and mind, to silence that alarm. These include, slow breathing techniques. When you slow your breathing, you limit the excess oxygen needed to fuel the anxiety response. If you would like some videos on slow breathing techniques let me know in the comments.
Other options include thought challenging, mindfulness, exercise self-soothing and relaxation techniques.
