Eat Blog Talk 697: 5 Steps to Calm Your Mind When Youre Bracing for the Unknown (Mindset & Self-Care)
Here's a simple 5-step method I created to help stay calm, present, and grounded when you're facing uncertainty and bracing for the unknown.
In this episode, I'm diving into a mindset strategy that helped me through a really intense week filled with anxiety and uncertainty. When life feels overwhelming and fear creeps in, it's so important to have a simple plan to stay grounded. I'll walk you through the exact five steps I used to calm my mind, stay present, and truly enjoy the moments that mattered most. If you ever find yourself stuck in a cycle of worry, these steps will help you find your way back to peace.
Action Plan:
1 - Acknowledge your awareness: Notice when your mind is jumping ahead to worst-case scenarios — awareness gives you back your power.
2 - Set a clear intention: Decide to stay grounded and present, even when challenges are looming.
3 - Focus on your breath: Take three deep, intentional breaths to signal to your body that it's safe.
4 - Tune into your senses: Name three things you can see, hear, or feel to anchor yourself to the present moment.
5 - Redirect your thoughts: Practice gratitude, flip a negative "what if" into a positive one, and envision something you're excited about.
