Dawson Church:
There are all these issues you have to deal with, and those can produce anxiety.
The anxious brain is not very good at dealing with them. So you need the resources of that smart executive center to do it. If your emotions are taking over what happens is, really interesting to watch what happens in tissues when neurochemicals like cortisol and adrenaline are released by the body. And they're released by the body not just when you have a difficult experience, traumatic experience, but when you think about it afterwards.
So now those levels of neurochemicals are rising. You're stressed when the thing isn't actually happening. And that's what traps people in these cycles of stress.
So there is all this stuff that could, can stress us out and we can have these high levels of anxiety and depression. But if we take care of ourselves, if we find ways to calm ourselves, soothe ourselves, I mean, a really simple one that I teach in my classes is breath. Simply, be present with your breath.
Take 10 mindful breaths.
