Knowing your rituals and tics and physical habits can help you see how you're adding fuel to the fire. Once you become aware of your anxiety-related body language, you can start the work of extinguishing all these little things so your brain can learn that they've never been needed to keep you safe.
Ever thought about how your body language might be feeding your anxiety? In this eye-opening episode of The Anxious Truth, Drew Linsalata dives into the subtle ways our physical habits can either calm or exacerbate our anxiety symptoms. From fidgeting with your clothes to repetitive gestures, Drew reveals how these seemingly minor actions can actually serve as safety rituals that keep the fear cycle spinning.
By becoming aware of these behaviors, you can start to break the cycle and teach your brain that these habits aren't necessary for your safety. Drew also introduces the idea of using video as a self-teaching tool, encouraging listeners to record themselves during moments of high anxiety to better understand their physical responses. He emphasizes that while distraction can be helpful, it's crucial not to let it become another avoidance tactic.
Instead, use it wisely to redirect your focus and lessen the impact of anxiety spikes. The episode also touches on the benefits of exposure therapy and the supportive role of social media communities in managing anxiety. If you're looking for practical strategies to recognize and overcome anxiety-related behaviors, this episode is packed with valuable insights.
