Is it stress or anxiety? Or both?
The information you read on Google is often incorrect and
confusing about stress and anxiety.
Stress is not anxiety.
Stress is a normal part of life. However, we are being
tested to the limit with our ability to handle more stress
than usual. Ever since the pandemic, there seems to be a
constant state of crazy, ungrounded, anxious energy
hitting us in the face.
Stress is one of the factors that upsets your nervous
system. When your nervous system is upset in any way
for any reason you become anxious.
Therefore, excessive, frequent stress makes us feel
anxious because we are overwhelmed. It is very helpful
when you feel the anxiety in your body caused by stress
because then you can do what you need to do to reduce
your anxiety.
Anxiety is static energy in your nervous system.
Awareness is the first step in reducing the anxiety caused
by stress. If you don’t acknowledge your anxiety, you
cannot do anything to become less anxious. Therefore,
integrative body psychotherapy, body-based
psychotherapy and any type of body centered
psychotherapy helps you realize when your nervous
system is upset.
Stress can be internal or external.
External stress factors are sometimes not in your control
and you cannot do anything to change them. For
example, the way we are being whiplashed by the
weather these days!
In contrast, internal stress coming from your Inner Critic,
telling you should’s and should not’s that make you feel
rushed IS something you can change. When your Inner
Mother or Father tell you what to do, wake up and notice
it. Do not project your thoughts outward on others. Your
thoughts are 100% yours and no one else’s. When you
are rushing yourself don’t blame others. Instead, listen to
your Inner Critic and take responsibility for your
thoughts.
You can unlearn your anxiety response.
Learning research tells you exactly what you have to do
to unlearn an anxiety response no matter what the
source. If you learned it, you can unlearn. Use the fact-
based scientific psychological learning research to help
you enjoy good mental health and more Vibrant
Moments.
How to Manage Stress
1. If stress is external and you cannot control the
results, let go of control and allow the outside
stress factors to be what they are. Let go of trying
to change something you cannot change. Then you
can return to a relaxed and comfortable place in
your body. Being able to overcome your anxiety
caused by stress is an essential skill you need to
learn to manage the realities of everyday life.
2. Learn to say “No, No, No!” to outside stress any
time it is too much for you. Set limits and say no
often to others, situations and events. Practice
saying no until you are comfortable telling the
truth. Being assertive is an essential skill you need
to learn to manage stress and reduce anxiety.
3. Say “No, No, No!” to your Inner Citric any time it
rushes you to DO something or not DO something.
Learn how to put your Inner Critic in the back seat
and let your True Self drive your car so that you
are safe and sound without being rushed, pushed
and pulled. Being assertive with your Inner Critic is
an essential skill that you can learn to help you
separate from your parents so you can stand on
your own two feet.
4. Get and stay grounded. Being grounded means
your body does not resist the field of gravity. When
you are grounded your body naturally sinks into
Mother Earth. When you are anxious, you tighten
your body and resist the law of gravity because
you are thinking scary thoughts. As long as you
pay attention to your scary thoughts you are
anxious and not grounded. Your thoughts can
scare you to death.
As you can see, integrative body psychotherapy, body-
based psychotherapy and any type of body centered
psychotherapy will give you effective ways to manage
your stress. Being aware of your body empowers you.
The best use of body psychotherapy provides you with
body mind tools that help you release the anxiety
response out of your body permanently. After your body
relaxes, you will enjoy a noticeable increase in your self-
confidence because it is physical.
You can practice and use effective body psychotherapy
tools to stay centered, relaxed and grounded throughout
the day.
