Welcome to the Anxiety Slayer Podcast. I'm Shan Vanderbilt here with my co-host and good friend

Ananga Severe. We come together weekly to share award-winning anxiety Slayer sessions

with you and often answer listener questions

from our inbox and Facebook page as well as our private Facebook group.

We love to share a powerful collection of techniques to reduce anxiety with you.

Today we're going to be covering five common causes of anxiety to be mindful of.

Hello Ananga, Hey, Shen.

I'm so glad we're together again today to talk about these five triggers.

They are really important to be mindful of and will hopefully help our listeners have a good understanding of what to be on the lookout for.

One of the challenges with anxiety is that we're so caught up in the experience and the physical symptoms that we aren't able to step back and look at possible cause and effect,

possible triggers and what we can do about them and that mysterious aspect of anxiety

always makes it feel worse.

Of course once we can see a trigger and consider, oh maybe that's

adding to my anxiety then we can look at what we can do about it, look at

taking steps to weave the triggers out and feel more calm and more in

control again.

And the first of five is overstimulation.

And this is something that we hear so often is overwhelmed, I'm overstimulated, there's too much going on.

And in Iurveda, India's ancient science of life, we learn that overstimulation of the

nervous system is the leading

or the leading underlying cause of anxiety.

And look at our world right now.
