Episode notes
Do A One-Day Nervous System Audit
- Run a one-day experiment tracking your nervous system across contexts and people to identify triggers and patterns.
- Practice a simple downshift tool like humming and compare before/after feelings.
Anxiety Is A Signal, Not Identity
- Anxiety sits on a fear spectrum from mild concern to panic and is partly controllable.
- Emotions act as signals meant to direct attention, not to define identity.
Choose Body Or Mind By Intensity
- If anxiety is below ~5, use cognitive tools; above ~6 use body-based tools because the emotional brain dominates.
- Take your emotional temperature and choose mind or body interventions accordingly.
