Anxiety(The 5 seconds Rule)

Anxiety

Anxiety is what happens when your habit of worrying spirals out of control.

The key to beating anxiety is understanding it. If you can catch it right as it

kicks in and reframe it, you’ll stabilize your thoughts before your mind escalates it

into full blown panic. And over time, as you use the #5SecondRule over and over,

your anxiety will weaken and become what it started—out as simple worries. As you

just learned, the habit of worry is easy to break.

When your mind has an explanation for why your body just freaked out, it

won’t escalate the anxiety. Your mind will allow your body to calm down because it

knows the “danger” has passed. "When you understand how

panic works, what it is, and the role your brain has in making it worse, you can beat it"
