— Vagus Nerve Exercises to Rewire Your Brain Against Anxiety —
If you frequently experience anxiety – or even just worried thoughts – you might think your brain is broken.
Not true.
Anxiety is actually a survival mechanism.
It tells you when you are in danger – or at least when your nervous system thinks it is.
Anxiety tells you to move away from the edge of a cliff so you don't fall to your death. It alerts you when a person has bad intentions (this is usually called intuition).
But we can feel anxiety in situations where we are actually safe – and that's where it becomes a problem.
In these cases, your nervous system has become “stuck” in danger mode. The whole world suddenly seems to want to attack you.
Report anxiety!
This is a big problem because the “danger” can be similar to making new friends or business connections.
This might involve putting yourself forward for a promotion or seeking out a major new client.
This can shake your confidence – literally, giving you stage fright – before your big competition.
Anxiety can tell you to stay small, to play it safe, to stay in your lane – when what you really want is to reach for the stars.
Most treatments for anxiety focus on changing your thoughts: thinking positively, using affirmations, etc.
Or, they might suggest taking a deep breath (hard to do when your diaphragm is frozen with fear – and yes, it happens).
What we really need are methods to get your nervous system out of danger mode and back into safe and happy mode (assuming you're not actually in physical danger, of course).
This doesn’t happen at the level of thought – it happens in your biology.
In your autonomic nervous system, to be exact.
Your vagus nerve is part of your autonomic nervous system and functions to help your body manage stress.
This video gives you three vagus nerve exercises to rewire your anxious brain and bring you back to a centered state.
