Resisting Life As Is + How to Ease Stress and Anxiety

Stress and anxiety come from the feeling that a certain set of circumstances should not be happening. When we believe something in our life shouldn’t be the way it is, we resist life as is. When we think “it shouldn’t be like this, I shouldn’t have said that, they shouldn’t have done that” we mentally oppose what is happening and our body activates the stress response in order to bring us to safety. When we believe something should happen that clearly isn’t, we get anxiety. In this episode, we uncover the ways in which resistance to certain experiences in life can create more anxiety and stress, how the mind works, what an anxiety loop is, and a simple yet profound tool to break the anxiety loop, calm the mind, and get back into the body, which is our most empowered state of being. Learn the powerful tool of the 5 sense mindfulness practice. For more holistic practices to empower your life, join The Practice membership:www.daphnelyon.com/membershipGain access to a growing library of on demand classes in meditation, breathwork, deep rest, and mindful movement, which includes yoga, flow, HIIT, and restorative. + 7 day free trial + free e-book on building habits for an empowered life.  Only $9.99 / month.Join my weekly newsletter and recieve a free guided meditation for sleep:www.daphnelyon.com/subscribe
