If you can find two times a day to beat anxiety- b for breathe, e for exercise, a to be aware and t to take time and look, just talking about it has made me more relaxed me too.
Imagine taking a leisurely walk through a medieval town and then zipping through a bustling modern city. The contrast is striking, and Dr. Christian Heim uses this vivid imagery to explore how our fast-paced contemporary life fuels anxiety. In this engaging episode, Dr. Heim dives into why today's social disconnect, instability, and safety concerns make anxiety so prevalent. Using the Yerkes-Dodson Curve, he illustrates how anxiety can either be a helpful motivator or a crippling disorder.
But don't worry, he's got some practical advice to help you manage it. Dr. Heim suggests incorporating rhythm and routine into your daily life as a powerful antidote to anxiety. He talks about the importance of finding time for activities that are just for you—something fun and relaxing to break up the monotony of daily stressors. Additionally, he recommends setting aside two special times each day for meditation or exercise to boost your calm and serenity.
Meditation, once considered fringe, is now mainstream in psychiatry and psychology, and Dr. Heim underscores its benefits. His simple yet effective BEAT technique—Breathe, Exercise, be Aware, and Take time to look—offers a straightforward way to tackle anxiety head-on. This episode is not just informative; it's a lifeline for anyone struggling with the pressures of modern life. Dr. Heim's blend of scientific insight and compassionate advice makes it a must-listen.
