## Resource

If you've ever tried to logic your way out of anxiety — telling yourself there's nothing to worry about, that everything is fine, that you're being irrational — you already know it doesn't work. In today's episode, Celeste explains exactly why thinking harder is not the solution to anxiety, and what actually works instead. This one is going to change how you approach your anxious moments completely. If you've been trying to reason with your anxiety and losing every time, this one is for you. Today's shift: The next time anxiety shows up, stop trying to think your way out — and do one thing to regulate your body instead.
