I've Never Been an Anxious Person... So Why Now? Understanding anxiety, perimenopause and your nervous system

For years, I never considered myself an anxious person. Then, during perimenopause, something shifted. I found myself worrying in ways I never had before, feeling overwhelmed by things I'd always coped with and wondering why I suddenly didn't feel like myself anymore.In this episode, I'm sharing everything I've learnt about anxiety through my own experience, my work with hundreds of women, and the latest science on the nervous system.In this episode, I'll share: Why anxiety can appear for the first time during perimenopause, even if you've never thought of yourself as an anxious person.  How hormonal changes affect your nervous system and why your capacity to cope with stress changes during midlife.  Why I've stopped seeing anxiety as something to fight, and started seeing it as a message from my body.  The surprising reason we can get stuck in cycles of anxiety, and why trying to get rid of it often makes it louder.  How I communicate safety to my nervous system and gently return to a place of calm, clarity and harmony.Download 15 Breaths to Calm Anxiety - a FREE 5 minute audio to calm you down in real time.Download The Breath Check-Up - your FREE guide to understanding how well you're breathing right now.Download my energising 5 Minute Morning Practice to get your day started in the best way possible.To find out more about my membership The Inner Space go to:  https://www.pollywarren.com/theinnerspaceEmail me at:  [email protected]://www.pollywarren.com/https://www.instagram.com/pollywarrencoaching/
