Episode notes
Use Self-Awareness To Downshift Anxiety
- Use self-awareness to calm and neutralize emotions so you don't stay in fight-or-flight.
- Treat your anxious default as a protection device and gently guide yourself to calm.
Anticipate Anxiety Waves
- Expect anxiety to come in waves and predict when you'll need more support.
- Jump off the train of worst-case thinking at earlier stations when you recognise it.

- Notice when your worry train pulls into the station and refuse to board every stop to catastrophe.
- Use that pause to pull away and choose calmer responses deliberately.
