Anxiety is actually written in our genetic code because, as humans, when we evolved, it was during a time of scarcity, and when, as a species, we're not strong, we're actually pretty weak as a species, but we're smart.
Have you ever felt like anxiety has a mind of its own? In this eye-opening episode of The Brain Warrior's Way Podcast, Dr. Daniel Amen and Tana Amen dive into the concept of the 'anxious dragon' from Dr. Amen's book, 'Your Brain is Always Listening'. They break down how this metaphorical dragon can wreak havoc on your emotional brain, especially during stressful times like the pandemic. The Amens discuss various triggers for anxiety, including genetic factors and childhood experiences.
But it's not all doom and gloom; they offer practical strategies to tame this beast. Techniques like meditation and diaphragmatic breathing can help calm your emotional brain and bring your thoughtful brain back into control. Plus, they touch on how anxiety, when managed well, can actually push you to overcome challenges. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand and manage their anxiety better.
