Calm is learned. If you didn\u2019t learn yesterday, you can learn today. It\u2019s not easy, of course. Once your natural alarm system is triggered, it\u2019s hard to find the off switch. Indeed, you don\u2019t have an off switch until you build one. Tame Your Anxiety shows you how. Readers learn about the brain chemicals that make us feel threatened and the chemicals that make us feel safe. You\u2019ll see how your brain turns on these chemicals with neural pathways built from past experience, and, most important, you discover your power to build new pathways, to enjoy more happy chemicals, and reduce threat chemicals. This book does not tell you to imagine yourself on a tropical beach. That\u2019s the last thing you want when you feel like a lion is chasing you. Instead, you will learn to ask your inner mammal what it wants and how you can get it. Each time you step toward meeting a survival need, you build the neural pathways that expect your needs to be met. You don\u2019t have to wait for a perfect world to feel good. You can feel good right now. The exercises in this book help you build a self-soothing circuit in steps so small that anyone can do it. Once you learn how it\u2019s done, and how it can help ease your anxiety, you will learn how to handle situations in which you feel threatened or anxious. Understanding the underlying mechanisms will help you stop them before they get ahead of you.<p>\r\n\t       \r\n\t       GBS_insertEmbeddedViewer(“gi6NDwAAQBAJ”, 500,400);\r\n\t       <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anxiety is natural.
