If you struggle with high anxiety that impacts your life, there are ways to naturally suppress that anxiety that doesn’t require workouts or diet changes but rather a simple redirection of thought. And if your anything like me your rolling your eyes thinking yea right, if I can redirect it with just my little own brain I would have done it. Well calm your brain and pop a Xanax and pay attention. The brain is the culprit of intensifying each moment with a ton of “What if” scenarios that will most likely never happen and once we address it at the source it can slow down and naturally chill out. So, before you light that joint or pop a xanny lets try something else.
Suppressing your anxiety is not a healthy way to deal with stress. The better approach is to describe it. Are you overwhelmed, tired, pressured, overworked, underpaid, angry? Labeling your state of mind allows you to redirect your thought process and thereby your actions by simulating your prefrontal cortex of your brain. The prefrontal cortex of brain is the more rational and analytical part. So, if Spock would live in your brain…this is where he lives. By using your frontal cortex of your brain, you naturally chill out your anger, and anxiety fueled thought process and in turn one will make less irrational decisions.
The more you practice it the easier it will be. The body will soon naturally respond this way thus allowing you to get ahead of the crazy train and redirect your anxiety or stress into a more productive state.
