When anxiety shows up, it has a tendency of trying to take over.  It runs the meeting in your mind and either dictates with a sense of urgency what you need to do, or it can become immobilizing with everything it is holding onto in that pressing moment.  Anxiety can feel like it is taking over, but in this four part Anxiety series, my hope is to encourage us to slow things down.  Let's investigate together.  Let's get curious about what is happening when we feel anxious.  Your anxiety might just be there for a purpose.  The four areas in this series are looking at what happens within us when anxiety shows up in our Cognitions (thoughts), Transitions, our Trauma Reminders, and when Anxiety goes Viral all around us.

This episode focuses on Anxiety in Transitions.  Anytime our body goes through a major or minor transition, we go through a process of learning and adapting.  In this episode we will take a closer look at three ways to notice anxiety during transitions by:

(1) Making room in our life for transitions

(2) Releasing the sense of urgency

(3) What to do with Transition Loops

*This podcast exists as an avenue to provide a free resource for people everywhere to have access to mental and emotional health. No matter where you live or the position you hold, your mental health matters. Seeing a therapist is not something that everyone has access to or even the finances to accommodate, but the message of healing and breakthrough don't only happen in a counseling room, you can grow in your understanding of emotional health right at home, and I hope this podcast stirs an initiative of inner freedom in your life.  Thank you for listening and for helping people hear these much needed freedom reminders by sharing the episodes that make an impact in your life.  Subscribe and stay connected with the Inner Freedom Initiative by following @innerfreedominitiative on social media or join me at the innerfreedominitiatve.com and sign up for the monthly #FreedomThoughts newsletter where we are all Freedom Seekers.
