Understanding and recognizing the physical sensation of worry in your body is vital for interrupting the cycle of being hijacked by your worried parts. Information alone is not enough to solve the deeply held neurological pattern of worry in your body, so it's essential to develop authentic understanding surrounding your thoughts and feelings.

Because worry doesn't just occur in the brain but in the entire body, objectively feeling the sensation of worry is the beginning of a relationship with it. Once you can differentiate between worry and care by recognizing their physical sensations, you can interrupt the cycle of being overtaken by worry.
