Over the next videos I am going to teach you all my techniques on how to beat anxiety, worry and stress naturally, so make sure you subscribe to this channel, so you don’t miss out! As you understand, overcoming anxiety, worry and stress is a very broad topic. In this video I am going to help you understand what the difference between worry, anxiety and stress really is, what their function is and I will give you one practical tip you can implement today! What is worry, anxiety and stress Worry is a repetitive thinking focusing on the past or on the future, worry is asking ‘What if’ and then answering in your head in an attempt to move to and control the situation. Anxiety is an uncomfortable feeling of fear, apprehension and dread which comes from the limbic or emotional part of the brain, Stress is a physical survival response (fight or flight); Your thoughts become chemicals and your chemicals influence your physical reactions, so when people get anxious they get motor symptoms, tension headaches, biting nails, stomach ache, chest pain, sweating hands, automatic negative thoughts, or fly away from the stressful situations, etc. Function of worry, anxiety and stress Nevertheless, worry, anxiety and stress have an adaptive role because they allow us to go something over and over in our heads in order to solve a problem. If we did not have imagination, we would not worry. Using your imagination well with solutions instead of problems is crucial in beating worry, anxiety and depression and it is something that we will break down in detail in all upcoming videos. At this point I must say that it is perfectly normal to have both bad and good feelings in life because it can give you some edge and sharpness. And it is perfectly normal to feel down sometimes. But when this gets out of control, when you are in the worry, anxiety and stress spiral, you are assuming that in the future you are going to experience through your senses or imagination, more pain than pleasure, more loss than gain, more negative than positive, more challenge than support than sb else, and every time you are assuming that there is a negative without a positive you have an imbalanced perspective because nature never provides a loss without a gain, there is never a pain without a pleasure. So, your homework for today is: Have a think of all the positive things that happened to you at the exact same period in time that something bad happened to you. Think of as many examples as possible till you finally feel that the positive things counterbalance the negative thing that happened. And I will see you on the next video! ****** ****** ******
