#447: We’re talking about some of the self-care steps and practices that can help you feel calm and in control of anxiety. One of the questions we get asked most about anxiety is what one thing can I do to feel better? In our experience with anxiety, self-care is very important and helps calm anxiety at its core, and the more committed we are to that care, the better we will feel. Now is the best time to start a self-care program, in the spring/summer transition where there is more light and color and it’s easier to get outside and move your body.    With over 5.6 million downloads and hundreds of podcasts, Anxiety Slayer is a podcast for anyone who is suffering from PTSD, panic attacks, stress, and anxiety.         SPECIAL OFFER save $30 on our >> New Beginnings Course

#429: Today we’ll be continuing our discussion about health anxiety and introducing our new First Responder Series Course for calming Health Anxiety and feeling more peace of mind.   Health Anxiety is the fear that something we feel in our body is a symptom of a serious illness.
