In this episode, I share with listeners why we might resist the use of mindfulness despite rationally knowing it would be helpful to use. In overwhelming, stressful and anxious situations, we often choose to continue further spiraling, but rather than seeing that as a "bad" thing, in this episode, I invite you to see this as a strength. I also invite other women with high functioning anxiety to acknowledge the benevolence behind this resistance- as well as utilize personal values to guide the use of mindfulness when it would be most helpful. www.mindfulrevampinc.com email: ggonzalez@mindfulrevampinc.com IG: @themindfulrevamp

Commit commit commit!!!! This episode of The Anxiety Relief Brief is all about helping listeners unlock their power to change through the use of commitment. Take a moment and breathe with how you feel when you hear the word "commit..." Maybe it excited you, maybe it triggers you. Either way, this is just an automatic feeling based on past experience. So breathe through it, and consider listening in to find out how and why commitments are so powerful in effectively transforming anxiety into peace.
By understanding the workings of the brain, particularly the oldest, inner most, safety based mechanisms of the brain- we might begin to approach anxiety with more compassion and therefore cope with more effectiveness! LMFT and Anxiety Relief Coach, Gabrielle Rose Gonzalez, touches on some neuroscience basics in this episode- in order to help you begin shifting your relationship to anxiety right away (so that you can cope more easily and so that you can transform anxiety into peace and presence).
In this brief podcast episode, I take you on a quick run through of the three top things to know about your brain- as a first jumping off point for learning how to navigate feelings of anxiety more effectively. It's so important to understand the workings of the brain, why patterns of anxiety continue showing up over and over again, as well as important to formulate a healthier, more loving relationship to anxiety in order to successfully intervene on anxious patterns. Whether you're someone that regular thinks of themselves as being "not good enough," someone that ruminates (or thinks over and over again) about all of your flaws while giving little attention to your accomplishments, someone who strives for perfection because perfection makes you feel worthy, or someone constantly striving for external validation in order to feel soothed... this podcast episode is for you. By learning the top 3 things to know about your brain as an anxious person, you offer yourself more opportunity to feel in control and to feel capable of shutting down anxiety in the interest of living a more peaceful, present and confident life. The top 3 things to know: 1) your brain learns from conditioning 2) your brain has plasticity 3) your brain is always trying to help you. Listen in for the details under each thing to know.

Based on research and writing by Dr. Judson Brewer, we explore the concept of the anxious habit loop: what it is, how it developed, and how to use mindfulness as a tool for releasing old patterns and engaging in upgraded behavior.
Anxious achievers are often finding themselves feeling so very proud of their accomplishments; these accomplishments tend to be focused around working hard, making money, living up to high expectations, providing for others, keeping a very clean home and receiving external validation. Because they've been rewarded with the external validation, a sense of peace, a feeling of success or some other relieving experience- anxious achievers develop a patter of behavior that often leads to burnout and the feeling that they're "not good enough." And it's not true that they aren't good enough- they've just made an association between peace/content/safety/joy with always striving to be better in the areas named previously. But what if there were effortful and mindful attention placed on creating NEW associations. We can do this by more frequently connecting to the present moment through mindful practice- so that we can then intentionally affirm that we are proud for doing OPPOSITE the thing we normally do. This does indeed take courage. I invite you to identify something that your perfectionist habits cause you to do often, do the opposite and then praise yourself for doing so. You deserve that praise as you step into your next moments with courage and curiosity.
What is mindfulness and how can we begin this practice? Come with me on this short journey of an episode to learn about the definition of mindfulness, important concepts related to this practice, as well as a simple 4 step approach to practicing mindfulness skills. As we begin this episode, I share a vulnerable story about a tragic life experience that propelled me into passionately pursuing mindfulness personally and professionally for the rest of my life.
In this episode, I share about what it means to be an Anxious Achiever. I teach mental health knowledge related to cognitive behavior therapy, core beliefs and underlying needs. We will review 6 major behaviors of Anxious Achievers and discuss skills to navigate and shift these patterns of behavior.
Slowing down is hard sometimes, and it's also paramount in regulating the nervous system and allowing for true opportunity connect with self more deeply and to live more fully. This episode takes us on a journey, guiding us closer to the experience of slowing down as a tool for experiencing more power and peace on a moment to moment basis.
On this episode, let's dive into the concepts around mindfulness and how they can support reduced anxiety, increased empowerment and increased peace- as we determine what is in our control from what is not.
Though it's assumed by many that "Mindfulness" is meant to be a relaxation strategy, it's actually not! Mindfulness is actually the attention we give to the present moment, despite what we're thinking or feeling in that moment, in order to gain awareness through non-judgmental observation. When we allow ourselves the opportunity to access this awareness, we may feel uncomfortable for some time (probably not for too long, so long as we really do OBSERVE non-judgmentally) and we become much better able at identifying how to nurture ourselves through challenging times. Join me on this podcast episode adventure, as we discuss the reasons why mindfulness isn't necessarily relaxation- and yet, why it is such an important practice.
In this episode, your host, Gabrielle Rose, shares a story that she's written as a form of her own creative processing. Creative processing is the act of utilizing any creative venture to process emotion and life experience. This process can support us in gaining clarity around what we think, believe and feel. Creative processing can lead to a deepened inner wisdom and connection with the self; resulting in a greater sense of peace.
In this episode, consider how your identity has hindered you from finding peace. As I explore topics related to death and identity, this episode is an opportunity to recognize other aspects of WHO YOU ARE, that allow for deepened peace and lessened suffering.
