Wrote a spicy new blog post today 😅 Let me know what you think!

By classifying anxiety as solely a spiritual problem, rather than a biological one. Let me explain…

02/21/2024

I have seen many (well meaning) Christians classify anxiety as solely a spiritual problem, rather than a biological one

The problem with this, is that when you continue to suffer from anxiety you now also feel guilty because it feels like your anxiety is because of a lack of faith

Friends, this isn’t true! Your anxiety has a largely biological basis in your nervous system, and so in order to heal from anxiety you need to also be learning how to regulate your nervous system

Luckily, this is something I really like teaching people how to do, so you’ve come to the right place 😉

This is supposed to keep you safe (and it does a really good job of that!) BUT it’s also pretty frustrating at times

My suggestion is to start with acknowledging that anxiety IS illogical because the more you try to make sense of it, the more frustrating it can be

Then once you’ve accepted the illogical nature of anxiety you can move on to calming down your nervous system 🫶

This has always been my guiding mission as a Christian therapist: that if I can help someone access the healthiest version of themself, that will have a ripple effect on how they live out their unique calling and impact for the Kingdom of God 🫶

It’s such a privilege to play a part in helping people unlock their healthiest selves!

If you struggle this anxiety, here are three things to intentionally focus on that help reset your nervous system:

1️⃣ Sleep - aim to get an average of 7 hours a night to allow your nervous system time to recharge and reset

2️⃣ Exercise - cardio can help your boy reset the fight or flight response that gets activated by anxiety, and yoga can teach your how to intentionally relax different areas of your body

3️⃣ Breathing - deep breathing can help activate the vagus nerve, which turns on our parasympathetic nervous system and signals to our body that it's time to calm down

Which one will you focus on this week?

Which one of these do you think will be the hardest to prioritize? For me it will probably be getting more sleep 😬

Anxiety sucks. I won't pretend it doesn't

AND sometimes we need a reminder to focus on making anxiety our friend and not our enemy

If you're feeling trapped in your anxiety, please reach out to a therapist!

Social media is amazing for education and normalizing, but you deserve a space to learn deeply how to manage your own anxiety and move closer to a place of freedom 🤍
