Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I continue my enlightening discussion with John Ashraf, a renowned mindset coach and mental fitness trainer. This episode marks the conclusion of our three-part series, in which we explore the multifaceted nature of anxiety and the psychological patterns that underpin it. We delve into the significant distinction between emotions and feelings, emphasizing that our reactions to various stimuli aren't inherently linked to the stimuli itself but rather to our perceptions shaped by previous experiences and beliefs.

Throughout our conversation, we unpack the workings of the brain, particularly focusing on the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems. The sympathetic nervous system, which governs our stress responses and instinctive reactions, often drives us into cycles of anxiety and negative thought patterns. John introduces the concept of "Frankie’s monster," a metaphorical representation of our subconscious fears that can overwhelm us if left unchecked. He emphasizes the importance of awareness and the need to interrupt these automatic patterns that diminish our sense of well-being.

We discuss practical strategies for managing and transforming anxiety. John shares "inner sizes," such as the breathing technique known as "Take Six," which helps calm our nervous systems and ease feelings of stress. By focusing on our breathing and engaging in positive self-talk, we can shift from a state of anxiety to one of calm and control. This technique exemplifies how we can reinforce new, healthier neural pathways by consciously choosing to challenge our automatic negative thoughts (ANTS) and replace them with automatic positive thoughts (APTS).
