The Best Way to Reduce Anxiety Is to Make Your Brain Feel Safe
https://buff.ly/gNJDh57

When your brain senses danger—even if it’s only a stressful thought—it switches into survival mode. That’s why anxiety feels so physical: racing heart, tight chest, restless mind.

You may not even realize that some of your daily habits—overworking, people-pleasing, constant busyness—are actually driven by anxiety. There are many ways you can calm your body and make your brain feel safer to reduce anxiety and improve your mental health.
💨 Breathe slowly and deeply to quiet your stress response.
🌿 Step outside and connect with natural light.
🤝 Reach out to someone who helps you feel safe and supported.

When your body feels safe, your brain follows—and anxiety starts to lose its grip.

You’ve been through worse.
You know that.
But it doesn’t make this any easier.

You don’t need to compare your pain to someone else’s or to who you used to be.
Just acknowledge it and keep going at a pace you can manage.

Let things settle. Your mind and body know how to recover if you stop forcing yourself to push through everything.

Traumatic memory is a different kind of memory to 'standard' memory. It's encoded differently and it's recalled differently. And that's why it's so hard to deal with and shift.
