Sometimes, anxiety can make us feel like a mountain has been dropped on our chest. Pinned under the incredible weight of everything we have to contend with in our lives, we may feel like we can barely move. How can we ever hope to escape? "I pray that God will bless you abundantly as you walk forward in courage and grace, confident in the knowledge that Our Lord desires for you to receive the peace that is his gift to you, a peace that is not of this world. Do not let your heart be troubled. Do not be afraid." — Dr. Gregory Popcak The Psychology of Anxiety The more you understand the different factors that work together to create our experience of anxiety, the more avenues you have to address and overcome it. Spirituality and Anxiety In almost every study on the subject, faith has been shown to be a positive factor in decreasing anxiety, increasing a person’s ability to bounce back from stressful events, facilitating physical and mental health, and helping people cultivate a more peaceful life. Building an Emotional Elevator The Emotional Elevator exercise you’ll learn in this chapter will help decrease your anxiety by preventing your higher brain from stuffing up all your tension and driving it back down into your body. Balancing the Seesaw Anxiety is a sign that we are “off-balance.” If our left hemisphere (of our brain) swings up too high, we tend to run around distracting ourselves from our feelings. By contrast, if our right hemisphere is on the high end of the seesaw, we tend to get stuck ruminating about our experience. There’s good news. Regardless of the level of anxiety you are experiencing, the good news is that with proper help, you can find ways to stop worrying and significantly increase your peace.
