Rewire your Anxious Mind
Lesson 1 - Are you stressed or is it anxiety?
Are you feeling stressed, or is it truly anxiety? In today’s lesson, we’ll explore how your well-intentioned brain shifts from the natural fight-or-flight response into patterns of chronic stress and anxiety. You'll discover a straightforward method to distinguish between stress and anxiety—and how to use this insight to regain control over your life.

Lesson 2 - My brain on anxiety
Today’s lesson begins with a self-diagnostic quiz to help you map out how and where anxiety appears in your life, followed by a closer look at the physical sensations associated with anxiety. Next, we’ll do a quick 30-second science experiment to see how your experience aligns with activity in a brain region our lab found linked to meditation. As a bonus, you’ll get an inside look at what happened in Anderson Cooper’s brain when we measured his responses. You’ll wrap up with a brief practice designed to help you better manage stress and anxiety.

Lesson 3 - Why am I so anxious?
Now that you have a clearer sense of how anxiety appears in your life (and in your brain), it’s time to explore the science of how our brains shifted from focusing on survival to forming anxiety as a habit. Yes, anxiety can actually be learned—so much so that it becomes automatic. The good news is that it can be unlearned, too. I’ll introduce a method to help you start mapping your mind, a crucial first step toward breaking free from habits related to stress, anxiety, and other unhelpful behaviors.
