Recognizing and Managing Anxiety and Reactivity
Identifying anxiety and reactivity can manifest in a spinning mind, racing heart, or a tightening body. Recognizing the initial signs like a spinning mind provides an opportunity to pause, reflect, and connect with God to address the underlying worries. Managing a racing heart can involve intentional breathing exercises and a moment to remember the Lord. A tightening body, whether in the stomach, shoulders, or jaw, signifies physical reactions to stress. Being aware of these physical manifestations allows for early intervention to prevent escalating reactivity. It's important to acknowledge progress in managing reactivity, even small steps are significant in this journey of self-awareness and connection with God.
