The Anxiety Equation (Part 1)

Ever wonder why anxiety shows up and feels so overwhelming? In this episode, Amanda kicks off a mini-series by re-introducing a game-changing formula that makes sense of it all, what she calls, “The Anxiety Equation”. Once you see anxiety as a math problem, you realize you have the power to change the variables.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• The simple but powerful Anxiety Equation: Anxiety = Overestimation of Threat + Underestimation of Capacity
• How this equation plays out in real-life scenarios, from a stressful email at work to a toddler’s meltdown at the store
• Why understanding this formula gives you two clear starting points for reducing anxiety
• A preview of what we'll cover in the rest of this mini-series

This Week's Practice:

When you feel anxious, get curious. Ask yourself:

1. What is the specific threat my brain is perceiving right now?
2. What is my brain telling me about my capacity to handle it?
