The brain can create terrible scenarios, causing anxiety. To counteract this, observe the background and recognize the anxiety mode and work to stop it.

Get out of the brain and into your body

If the brain's sensations are overwhelming, take a break and focus on the body, allowing ourselves to feel and sit with them.

To combat anxious thoughts, we should focus on understanding reality and controlling our responses rather than analyzing brain-produced thoughts.

Understanding our fears is crucial for rational responses, rather than panicking about them.
