Reduce Anxiety Fast: How to Calm Your Nervous System

What’s happening in our body when we feel anxious?

Anytime you feel anxious your amygdala is triggered and your nervous system goes into the ancient fight, flight, freeze response (sympathetic nervous system). While in this heightened state, cortisol (the stress hormone) starts to flood your body, adrenaline starts pumping, muscles tense, heart beats faster, breathing gets shallow, digestive system slows down….your body is ready to react to the perceived threat.

Why Your Brain Still Thinks You’re in Danger

Back when we were cavemen and needed to fight sabre-toothed tigers this was a life saving response that kept us safe.

The problem is, thousands of years late - our brains don’t know the difference between a real and imagined threat. This is why in our modern day world, you might feel anxious when:

• You’re about to give a presentation at work

• You walk into a new social situation

• You need to speak up in a meeting

• You’re facing a tight deadline

Your body reacts as if you’re in danger, even though you’re completely safe.

How to Calm Your Nervous System

The good news? You can teach your body and your mind to feel safe again.


By understanding what’s happening in your brain and using science backed techniques like EFT tapping, Breathwork and Meditation, you can shift from the sympathetic (stress) response into the parasympathetic (rest and relaxation) state.

In my 30-minute YouTube session, Reduce Anxiety Fast, I guide you through simple but powerful tools to help regulate your nervous system and bring your body back into balance:

• Insight - into your brain and what’s really happening when we feel anxious

• Breathwork - diaphragmatic breathwork and collarbone breathing to engage your parasympathetic nervous system (rest and relaxation).

• EFT Tapping - to reduce anxiety and bring your whole nervous system back into a place of balance, releasing tension from your body and mind.

THE BENEFITS OF TAPPING DURING PREGNANCY

The Benefits of Tapping During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is such a huge time of transformation, and it’s completely normal to have anxieties and worries along the way. Your body is busy intuitively building your baby, and your brain is going through more changes than at any other stage in your life — phew, that’s a lot!

During both of my pregnancies, I found EFT Tapping to be a gentle, powerful tool that helped me navigate the ups and downs in so many ways. Here’s how it helped me:

How Tapping Can Support You During Pregnancy

• Calm racing thoughts: Tapping helped keep me calm on the days my mind would start spinning.

• Process fears about your baby: It helped me work through worries about whether my baby was safe and growing in the right way.

• Boost confidence as a parent: Tapping supported me in becoming a parent for the first time, and managing the worries I had about being a mum of two.

• Process emotions: It was a gentle way to work through all the emotional ups and downs of pregnancy.

• Connect with your body: Tapping helped me tune into and deeply connect with my changing body.

• Prepare for a C-section: During my first pregnancy, my baby was breech, and I had a planned C-section. Tapping helped me process my fears around surgery.

• Overcome self-doubt in birth: Tapping supported me in trusting my body and ultimately helped me have a truly magical, natural birth with my second baby.

• Navigate postpartum haze: When I was exhausted and figuring out parenting for the first time, tapping helped me stay grounded.

• Energise your nervous system: On days of extreme sleep deprivation, tapping helped me feel steadier and more present.

• Reduce anxiety overall: By keeping anxiety at bay, I was able to show up as a calmer, more confident mother.

Try a Short Tapping Process

If you’re pregnant and curious about tapping, you can try this short tapping process right now. Even a few minutes can make a difference in calming your mind and connecting with your body.

Pregnancy, Birth & Beyond - 30 Min Session

your Pregnancy Journey

Becoming pregnant is a truly magical time in life but it’s also a period of immense change, both mentally and physically. Your body transforms rapidly, you may feel tired or sick and it’s completely normal to have worries about birth, finances, or simply coming to terms with becoming a parent (or adding another little one to your family). It’s a lot, and you’re not alone.

During both of my pregnancies, I used EFT Tapping to manage anxieties, overcome self doubt and connect deeply with my body. This practice helped me experience two very positive, yet very different, birth journeys and it also supported me through the postpartum haze.

The Power of Self Belief

Your body is incredible, it will intuitevely grow and birth your baby. When preparing for birth it’s actually LESS about the physical apsect (women have given birth in comas) and WAY more about mentally preparing yourself to overcome self doubt, believe in your body, trust your body, listen to your inner wisdom, harness the power of your breath, visualise a calm and confident birth and changing the way birth is depicted in film and TV (painful and scary) to how it actually is (magical and empowering). The power of self belief is everything and it begins during pregnancy.

Watch this 30 Min YouTube video Now

In this session you will get:

• Insight into the wide range of emotions that can arise during pregnancy and birth.

• Understand the power of self-belief and trusting your body.

• Breathwork exercises to calm both you and your baby.

• Tapping techniques to release pregnancy anxieties, overcome self-doubt, and increase your confidence in your body’s ability to birth and nurture your child.

TAPPING TO HELP NAVIGATE LIFE'S TRANSITIONS

What is a life transition?

A life transition is any big event that significantly impacts you and they can occur at any stage throughout your life. Some may be positive (getting married) others will be really hard (losing a loved one) and often a bit of both (becoming a new parent).

What can we do to help navigate a life transition?

Whether you are moving house, going through burnout, navigating menopause, grieving or anything else, having a strong self care practice is essential while trying to navigate a life transition and tapping is the perfect tool. The more calm and grounded your nervous system is, the easier it is to regulate your emotions.

Try this simple tapping process above to bring balance back into your nervous system.

3 MIN TAPPING TO REDUCE ANXIETY

Why do we experience anxiety?

Anxiety is a completely normal human emotion to experience but it’s not always easy because it triggers the ancient fight / flight response, which can be a very visceral experience. From an evolutionary perspective anxiety keeps us alive, without it we would all be lemmings walking into the road so think of it as trying to keep you safe.

A key part of the brain to understand when starting to overcome anxiety is your amygdala. This is connected to your brains fear response and triggers the fight, flight, freeze response. The stress hormone cortisol starts to fill your body, adrenaline starts pumping around and your nervous system gets primed for action thinking that it needs to fight the perceived threat (muscles tense, heart beats faster, digestive system slows down). This is called the sympathetic nervous system.

This response was absolutely essential for survival back when we were cavemen and needed to fight sabre toothed tigers, but the problem is these days, our brains don’t know the difference between a real and perceived threat. Maybe you have to stand up and present in front off all your colleagues, you’ve just been given a really tight deadline at work, running late for a meeting, having to go into a new social situation - your nervous system will be going into that same high alert and thinking you’re about to get eaten.

Why is tapping so Effective at reducing anxiety?

Tapping is great at reducing anxiety because it engages your parasympathetic nervous system (rest and relaxation). Tapping on these specific meridian points sends a calming signal to your body and amygdala that you are safe. The rhythmic movement on your body is also really grounding and helps you to be deeply present in your body (another great way to reduce anxiety).

With tapping we always face the problem head on because when we say out loud how we are truly feeling it enables us to process our emotions and change how we feel.

Thinking about the thing that you are anxious about while physically tapping on these Tapping points sends calming signals to the brain. This ultimately rewires how we think and feel. Instead of triggering fight-or-flight mode, as usual, we send an opposing signal to the body letting it know that it is safe.

Using simple but powerful affirmations like “I am safe” while tapping is like speaking directly to your nervous system and amygdala - the perfect way to reduce anxiety.

Tapping to reduce anxiety

If you’re feeling anxious today remember that it is totally normal. Try this 3 minute tapping process to bring some much needed balance back into your body and mind.

UNDERSTANDING ANGER: What It Is, Why It Happens, and How to Manage It

WHAT IS ANGER? UNDERSTANDING THE BASICS

Anger is a normal human emotion but it's a big one because it triggers the ancient fight / flight response. The other emotions that do this are anxiety, fear and excitement. This is why anger can be such a visceral experience, you really feel it in your body and that’s because your nervous system is going into that heightened state.

When you feel really angry the stress hormone cortisol will start to flood your body, adrenaline starts to pump around and then your body is getting primed for action (muscles tense, heart beats faster, digestive system slows down). In short doses this response is fine because you are able to come back to a place of rest and relaxation (parasympathetic nervous system) but when you are being continually triggered and feeling angry all the time (whether that is expressed or suppressed) that’s when anger can become really damaging to both your physical and mental wellbeing.

Anger shows up when we feel the need to defend ourselves. It’s a sign that something is wrong and needs our attention and consideration. Neither acting out in anger nor holding it in produces a desirable result. Anger demands our attention, as it buries our more authentic primary emotions, and prevents us from seeing ourselves and our situation clearly, and understanding what is happening within ourselves.

HOW ANGER IMPACTS YOUR BODY AND MIND

The constant flood of stress chemicals and associated metabolic changes that go with ongoing unmanaged anger can eventually cause harm to many different systems of the body.

Some of the short and long-term health problems that have been linked to unmanaged anger include:

* headache

* digestion problems, such as abdominal pain

* insomnia

* increased anxiety

* depression

* high blood pressure

* skin problems, such as eczema

* heart attack

* stroke.

WHAT CAUSES ANGER? COMMON EMOTIONAL TRIGGERS

Quite often anger is the proceeding emotion that covers up what we're really feeling inside (scared, lost, rejected, unsafe, sad, abandoned, betrayed, lonely, grief, misunderstood, not good enough, not worthy, unloved).

This illustration called the Anger Funnel gives a clear description of how anger can be the blanket emotion for other feelings.

INNER CHILD HEALING AND THE ROOT OF ANGER

Anger isn’t often an emotion that we’re taught to express in a healthy and safe way. Quite often parents will either shame a child for showing their anger or taught to suppress and ignore it. If you want to have a better understanding of how you process anger or how you react to it or express it, then reflect back on your childhood and your parents / caregivers. Ask yourself these questions:

* How did mum / dad express tor suppress their anger?

* Was anger expressed in a healthy way or did it often make me feel unsafe?

* Was anger shown physically?

* Did mum / dad ever shame me for being angry?

* Was I taught to suppress and ignore my anger?

* When I was angry, what did mum / dad to? How did they react?

* Did you often feel angry as a child?

TAPPING TO PROCESS YOUR ANGER

It’s a very powerful and healing practice to explore your anger and find out what it might need. This 30 Min recording of a live session is the perfect way to help you process your anger and free your nervous system of negative tension so get yourself comfortable and watch it now.

EFFECTIVE TOOLS TO MANAGE AND RELEASE ANGER

EXPLORE WHAT'S BEHIND YOUR ANGER

Take time to think about what emotion might be lying behind your anger (anxiety, shame, guilt, stress, grief, not feeling good enough, etc). Understanding what lies behind it enables you to have a much better awareness of what’s really going on and therefore makes it easier to process.

START TO KNOW YOUR WARNING SIGNS

Your body is an incredible source of wisdom and will often be telling you before you consciously know it, that you're feeling stressed, anxious or angry.

These are your anger warning signs, so listen to how your body reacts. Here are some common physical symptoms of anger:

1. Knots in your stomach

2. Clenching your hands or jaw

3. Feeling clammy or flushed

4. Breathing faster

5. Headaches

6. Pacing or needing to walk around

7. “Seeing red”

8. Having trouble concentrating

GET TO KNOW YOUR TRIGGERS

What are the things in life that make you really angry? Better understanding what your own personal triggers are is a great way at being able to more effectively regulate your nervous system.

STOP, PAUSE, BREATHE

Rather than always reacting to a situation take a minute to stop, pause and breathe. Even a few seconds breathing can quickly transform the intensity of anger.

PRIORITISE YOUR MIND & SELF CARE

Sleep is the foundation of your mental health and wellbeing because its during sleep that your brain is drained of the metabolic toxins that have built up during the day. A good nights sleep means you're much less likely to get angry easily.

Meditation strengthens your prefrontal cortex which is your brains ability to self regulate your emotions. The more you meditate, the easier it is to process your emotions.

Tapping is a great way to process anger. Watch the three videos above to see how easy it is to do.

Hydrate & Feed Yourself your brain needs water to function properly so always make sure you're hydrated as even a small amount of dehydration effects how your brain functions. We all know the term 'hangry' and there is a good reason. Being hungry can quickly change your mood so always make sure you're eating healthily and regularly.

HOW TO RELEASE ANGER IN HEALTHY WAYS

Rather than projecting your anger onto others learn healthy and safe ways to process it:

* Boxing is a great at processing anger

* Hit a pillow

* Move your body (in whatever way you need)

* Dance around to music you love

* Breathe in a calming colour, and visualise breathing out a colour that represents your anger

* Invite your anger for a walk in nature - what does it want to tell you today?

* Physically take yourself away from whatever situation is triggering you. Changing your surroundings can quickly change how you feel.

* Set healthy boundaries with people that can often trigger your anger.

* Prepare your nervous system for things that may create anger in you. (for example if commuting makes you angry, make sure you meditate before your commute or even better - during your commute)

YouTube Live - Grief Support

Grief Support - YouTube Live 4th June

It was the anniversary of my dad’s death last week and what’s really fascinating is the fact that for years I would completely blank out the date. I literally forgot when it was as it just felt too painful - but your body remembers!

Trauma is held in the body, your cells remember way after the event has passed. It’s always a few days before the anniversary of my dad’s death that things feel different and it’s very subtle.

I get an almost sinking feeling. It’s not overwhelming sadness but I just feel slightly off. I feel more tired that usual (hard to decipher when I’m a mum of two little ones so can often feel tired) and I find it harder to focus.

These are very small shifts that for years I wouldn’t have recognised but now I know the signs. I understand that I need to be very gentle and kind to myself, my inner child needs a lot of nurturing around this time and this helps me navigate the grief.

Join me next Weds 4th June at 12pm for my next YouTube Live that is all about supporting grief.

This 30 Min session includes:

* Insight - into grief and how it can manifest both physically and mentally.

* Visualisation - to help reconnect you with the energy of your loved one.

* Tapping - to help you process your grief and bring balance back into your nervous system.

Go to my Happy Heads YouTube channel and you will get a notification just before it starts. It’s also recorded so you can watch in your own time.

I can’t wait to see you there.

5 MIN TAPPING TO STOP NEGATIVE THOUGHTS

We have approximately 60,000 thoughts per day and if most of those are negative, it’s easy to see how it can have a big impact on your mental health and happiness. Your brain also has a negativity bias, which is why it’s so easy to feel flooded with negative thoughts.

The negativity bias is our tendency not only to register negative stimuli more readily but also to dwell on these events. From an evolutionary perspective this bias would have helped to remain safe because our ancestors would have needed to pay attention to negative threats in the world in order to survive.

As humans, we tend to:

* Remember traumatic experiences better than positive ones.

* Recall insults better than praise.

* React more strongly to negative stimuli.

* Think about negative things more frequently than positive ones.

* Respond more strongly to negative events than to equally positive ones.

It’s exhausuting right?

Tapping is the perfect tool to stop your negative thoughts and rewire your mind to think differently. Try this 5 Min Tapping Meditation now to bring some positivity and stillness back into your mind.

For more support overcoming your negative thoughts please get in touch kim@happyheads.me I would love to help.

5 MIN TAPPING TO PROCESS ANGER

Anger is a normal human emotion but it's not something we're often encouraged to express or process in a safe way. Supressed anger can be really damaging for your nervous system creating stress and anxiety. When ignored, this emotion builds and grows - often being projected onto others in unhealthy ways.

Tapping is the perfect tool to help you safely process your anger in a healthy way. Try this 5 min tapping meditation to help you reduce your anger and bring balance back into your nervous system.

Manifest The Life You Want

YouTube LIVE - Weds 23rd April @12pm

Would you like to try manifesting but never really sure how to do it? Then you should join me LIVE on Weds 23rd at 12pm to Manifest The Life You Want.

Without consciously realising - we are always manifesting. Every thought you have creates an energy flow within and around your physical being. This energy attracts its likeness. So if you’re thinking “I’m not good enough” then your energy may start to reflect that and it will be harder to attract positive experiences that align to your authentic self. Manifesting is a powerful way to identify what you really want from life, overcome your limiting thoughts and start to turn your dreams into reality.

This 30 minute session starts at 12pm on Weds.

• Insight - into what manifesting actually is, the science behind it and the four step process to follow. 

• Breathwork - to calm and soothe your nervous system. 

• Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) - to help you overcome any self doubt that might be holding you back. 

• Manifesting - the life that you want and identifying your dreams.

Manifesting is one of my favourite things to do, I'm really excited to share this with you guys. Here is the link to Manifest The Life You Want or you can subscribe to the Happy Heads YouTube channel and it will notify you before I go live.

Please bring a pen and a piece of paper to the session.

Big Love
