Quote: It's not stress that kills us, it is our reaction to it. -Hans Selye Chapters 0:23 Introduction to Relaxation-Induced Anxiety 4:08 Recognizing Obstacles to Relaxation 6:49 Managing Relaxation-Induced Anxiety 9:39 Embracing Mindfulness in Relaxation 11:05 Using Body to Relax the Mind 11:54 Being Honest with Yourself 12:59 Choosing Meaningful Rewards 14:12 Finding Peace through Helping Others Summary In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we delve into the common question of why some individuals experience anxiety when they try to relax. The host, Gina Ryan, explores the phenomenon of relaxation-induced anxiety, a state where individuals feel uptight or nervous once they attempt to unwind. Research indicates that approximately 15% of the population is prone to experiencing anxiety as they begin to relax, leading to a significant number of individuals struggling with this issue. The discussion focuses on identifying the obstacles to relaxation-induced anxiety, such as monitoring one's thoughts and body sensations that may interfere with moments of quiet. Suggestions are offered on recognizing physical signs of anxiety, such as increased heart rate, shallow breathing, stiff muscles, and clenched jaw, as indicators of the body's response to underlying thoughts or emotions. To manage relaxation-induced anxiety, the importance of accepting one's feelings with compassion and acknowledging life's challenges is emphasized. Listeners are encouraged to gradually incorporate relaxation techniques into their routine without imposing high expectations that could lead to additional stress. Strategies like increasing mindfulness, being specific in guiding the mind and body towards relaxation, and giving oneself meaningful rewards are recommended to ease into a relaxed state without triggering anxiety. The episode underscores the significance of honesty with oneself, facing important tasks, and choosing meaningful rewards to reinforce positive habits. Serving others is highlighted as a powerful tool to diminish minor worries and distractions, offering a pathway to peace and relaxation. Ultimately, the host stresses the importance of developing personalized strategies to address individual anxiety triggers gradually and become comfortable with the process of unwinding. The episode concludes with a poignant quote emphasizing the impact of our reactions to stress on our well-being. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Quote: Your aim is to float through your anxiety rather than fight it, or try to think your way out of it. -Claire Weekes Chapters 0:23 Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast 7:06 The Organic Process of Letting Go 10:39 Principles and Techniques for Floating Through Anxiety 13:14 Observing Anxiety with Curiosity 15:20 Kindness and Self-Compassion in the Journey 15:37 Desensitization and Gradual Exposure to Anxiety Summary In today's episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, the focus is on floating through anxiety using the Claire Weeks method. The host emphasizes the importance of letting go and relaxing in order to navigate through anxious states. Drawing parallels between floating in water and dealing with anxiety, she guides listeners on how to release tension, both physically and mentally. The key is to practice relaxing and not overthinking, allowing the natural ability to float – whether in water or through anxiety – to unfold. She encourages listeners to cultivate a sense of acceptance, allow anxious thoughts to pass, and observe sensations with detached curiosity. Patience, self-compassion, and desensitization are key components in overcoming anxiety gradually. By educating oneself about anxiety, practicing mindfulness techniques, and letting time pass, individuals can learn to float through anxiety rather than fight against it. The episode wraps up with a quote from Claire Weeks and a reminder to face, accept, float, and let time pass in the journey to managing anxiety. Learn more about your ad choices.
