You Don't Need to Work Harder to Soothe Your Anxiety, You Just Need to Work Smarter
Show Notes

In this episode, Sarah and her guest, Dr. Breese Annable, discuss how awareness of our fears can actually calm our anxiety. It sounds counter-intuitive but asking questions about what the deeper fears are driving your concerns and worry, can actually reduce your discomfort. Worry, over-eating, and hyper-planning are unhealthy responses to fear. With mindfulness, you can shift the way you respond to fear and instead engage in more healthy practices. Listen and learn what your core fears might be and start accepting your fear with understanding and compassion. See how this soothes your anxiety in ways you never felt before.
