    -- How To Release Worry And Anxiety From Your Body --
    Most of the time, when we worry, we’re sent to someone who helps us get our thoughts in order -- a therapist or counselor, for example. Worry is typically considered to be a mental disorder born of “wrong thinking” or a pessimistic outlook.
    But most people who try to “think positively” find that the worried thoughts and feelings just creep back in minutes or even seconds later.
    If you’re plagued with chronic fear and stress, you may wonder how to stop worrying. It’s true that living in a constant state of anxiety is not only unpleasant, but it also sabotages your happiness, relationships, physical health and can even impact your work.
    In this video, I talk about how we store worry and anxiety in our bodies and how anxiety causes not only muscle aches and pains but also life-threatening illnesses such as cardiovascular disease.
    I then give you a simple practice that anyone can start using today to release worry and anxiety from your body so that your muscles relax and you feel less stress on a day to day basis.

    Well, I must admit, I almost left this Video just when it got started when you began talking at the harm stress and anxiety can cause. (diseases and whatnot) Whilst I understand that this may be true - it’s not what an already anxious or worried person wants to hear; it’s always a bad way to start a Video that is meant to help people stop worrying - it just gives them more to be anxious about! :-) However, I stuck with it, and I found your advice very helpful, and so just a word of caution for many I have found that want to help people that usually begin by saying the harm your stressed state can do you, it’s like when someone is unable to sleep, and then someone explains how it is detrimental to their health. It’s not helpful (however true) and will scare many away unintentionally. Thanks for the great Video!

      @@jesusprincess Agreed. I've watched many documentaries about people not being able to sleep for example, and they always list the damage it does to your health - this in itself is going to keep you awake at night by causing you even more anxiety about something you feel you can do nothing about! I mean; you are anxious already, and it’s as if these people are trying to 'frighten’ you into doing what is right, but we have no control over it, and cannot help it...

      True. Therapy, and the words spoken by therapists and "healers..." 🤮, can create a lot of self doubt and can certainly reinforce the belief that something is wrong and needs to be fixed. As well as the heartbreaking belief that everyone else except you is getting benefit from whatever BS exercise they're teaching.

    I really appreciate how Sukie explains bodily responses to anxiety and stress in a more organic way. I'm always interested in learning ways to cope with natural human emotions without them being labeled as a disorder-of course I am not discounting disorders, I believe they are prevalent-but, from my perspective it feels isolating. Thankfully, my parents (who have lived through much trauma by immigrating from a communistic life in Romania) have always ingrained in me that we have the tools we need in ourselves to live happily within ourselves, and I'm glad I stumbled upon Sukie's channel. Thank you!

Meditation, however, often helps - particularly when you're aware of the science behind calming the nervous system. I love journaling, Chi Gong, and dancing for expressing, processing, then releasing challenging emotions.

    That was a very informative video. I agree with you about physical work. Though I like talk therapy, I find somatic work SO incredibly calming and healing. Activating the Vagus nerve by stroking my arms, around my ears, or hands can make me purr like a cat. Peter Levine's books too on trauma have wonderful somatic release techniques that help release old trauma WITHOUT triggering or re-traumatizing yourself. I've gone from a Fight or Flight flashback to calm in 5 minutes that way. You have many good tips in this and other videos, and I'm glad it helped with your own anxiety. Often the best teachers, doctors, and healers healed themselves first - then pass on the knowledge that helped them. Thank you for these, Sukie!

    Sukie, Thank you for your videos. You do such a great job at making the info accessible to everyone. I am a physical therapist who helps people with chronic types of pain. Sensory dysregulation is probably their middle name! Would you recommend books, authors, websites for further info on sensory dysregulation, trauma, and connections to pain? Thank you so much! Cindy

      Hey Cynthia, great suggestion! I've been thinking of bringing up resources that I recommend as there are so many great ones that I've come across over the years. I'll definitely add this to my shortlist :)

    Sukie, When I do any of your exercises I yawn. Sometimes I sigh too, my eyes might water, and there is relaxation and deepening of my breathing but most often yawning. I wondered what this might mean?
    Also, you are truly wonderful and have been helping me recover from Long Covid. It effects the nervous system (at least it did mine) and you have been helping me return back to those relaxed states that I need so dearly so I can heal. You are an angel and I wish the whole world knew about you.

    I wish to be honest. I have PTSD complex, panic attacks, anxiety attacks and depression. Due from childhood till now. So I have been I fight mode all my life. Modern Medication failed me. So I went to alternative. Acupunture has worked best for me to sup for medications as well as my diet for these issues. I tried your first video with eyes and head tilt, extra. I was so relaxed my your second one I wanted to take a nap. I am rarely relaxed. I just found out a month ago about vagus nerve from acupuncturist and nutritionist. Wow, have things vastly improved for me. Now this wonderful info has changed my world. Thank you so much for doing your videos!

    My body is practically a ball shaped mass of worry. Even my hands clench up when I’m not paying attention.
    Like a pill bug. Just rolled up.
    P.S. this helped a lot.I really like how your exercises are physical instead of mental..immediate results.

    Hi Susie, I am having a lot of trouble orienting / focusing on anything other than myself and as you explain exactly in this video I believe it has become a habit now of wanting to protect myself because there’s so much stimulation out there. I have also had a bit of trauma through my life and all I want to do is protect myself because I feel so different to others sometimes. When I do focus out / orient, it’s such a natural habit and literally takes a split second without me consciously doing so to then go back to holding myself and focusing on my sensations / controlling my somatic experience and just doing work / socialising etc whilst doing this. I can’t stop focusing on the tightness in my stomach and my inability to relax it. It is driving me crazy as when I start to orient and change the behaviour, I get the anxiety symptoms start to arise. It seems very scary because fight or flight click in because looking out / orienting is now so foreign to me. A big barrier is that I am even scared to do this because I will likely look like an idiot when I’m trying to change this behaviour when I’m around friends and I don’t want that 😬 do you have any tips or does this seem like a normal problem people have when breaking a terrible habit? I’m so frustrated.

    • @SukieBaxter
      @SukieBaxter  3 года назад +38

      Hey Shelley, there's a lot here. Maybe try softening your approach. Small changes are more powerful than big shifts as your soma -- your embodied self -- can more easily integrate them. Anxiety with relaxation is common. Your biology has held on so tightly for so long that to let go feels vulnerable. Again, small shifts are more powerful here because they are less threatening. And finally, the time to practice this is not when you're out with groups. Build your capacity for awareness and attention when you are in a safe space, whether that's alone or with a trusted guide/mentor/teacher. The goal is actually not to change the behavior. The goal is to notice differently -- to expand your attention. Shifts in biology and behavior happen as a natural result. I hope that's helpful.

      @@catherinebonanno6545 If anxiety affects physical health visit a psychologist. You can heal yourself. Your breath is directly related to your mind [brain] causing negative thoughts-anxiety For a relaxed life sit on a chair, back erect, hands on lap with palms upwards, eyes closed, be still and observe your natural incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils for around 5-10 minutes or more. Slowly negative thoughts will reduce and relax the mind. Patience is needed. Whenever you are free in the day or night sit still for 2 minutes and observe your breath. Make it a habit. Do the above meditation daily to feel relaxed. Positive affirmations for 5-10 minutes before sleep also gives quick relief. Best wishes. Shyaaam Sir. -Counsellor.
