Life's Shaping Events Are Unpredictable
- Major life-shaping events are usually those we couldn't prepare for rather than planned achievements.
- Trying to build defenses against all uncertainty leaves us exposed when life comes from unexpected directions.
Anxiety Narrows Identity Into A Loop
- Anxiety narrows identity into an 'anxious self' through looping fearful thoughts and body sensations.
- Bringing awareness interrupts that loop and restores a larger sense of who we are.
Pause, Name Thoughts, Then Breathe
- Pause briefly and name your anxious thoughts to unhook from them.
- Then scan your body and practice slow counted breathing to bring attention back to the present.
