“I promise you nothing is as chaotic as it seems. Nothing is worth diminishing your health. Nothing is worth poisoning yourself into stress, anxiety, and fear.”– Steve Maraboli
On episode #74 of The Anxiety Project Podcast, I talk about the anxiety chief that initiates the fight, flight, or freeze response – the amygdala. This almond shaped part of your brain is over 150 million years old and has helped us protect ourselves from those predatory animals lurking around the corner. Understanding the operations of the amygdala helps you better understand the anxiety you are currently facing. The amygdala is complex, so I will simplify this structure so that you can fully grasp the functions of this part of the brain and begin moving toward a more neutral self.
