Stress and Anxiety: Normal Human Experiences
- Stress and anxiety are normal parts of the human experience, not signs of being broken.
- They are your body's way of communicating a potential threat or that something isn't right.
Assess Present Safety
- Ask yourself: "Right now, am I safe?"
- Prove to your brain and body that you are safe in the present moment to calm your nervous system.
Separate from the Feeling
- Don't identify with the feeling; separate yourself from it.
- Instead of saying "I am stressed," say "I am feeling stressed" to acknowledge it as a temporary state.
