Episode Chapters

- My body is not my enemy; it is doing its best for me.
- Health anxiety is a feeling, not a diagnosis.
- I choose to return my attention to this moment, and this moment is safe.
- I trust my body's wisdom; it has carried me this far.
- I release the need to check, to scan, and to search. I am already okay.
- Postpone the Search: When you feel the urge to Google a symptom, set a timer for 30 minutes. Often, the urgency fades before the timer ends.
- Notice the Pattern: Keep a note of when anxiety spikes. Identifying patterns (like time of day or after reading the news) helps prove it is anxiety-driven, not body-driven.
- Move Gently: A 10-minute walk provides your nervous system with accurate information that your legs and lungs are working perfectly.
Be gentle with who you are, and to your beautiful soul, be kind.
