In this episode of Deeply Connected, Ludmila dives into the topic of anxiety and how to calm both our mind and body to overcome it. Ludmila explores the root causes of anxiety and unravels the intricate relationship between our nervous system and bodily responses. With real-life examples, she sheds light on how we need to protect ourselves and bring ourselves to a place of safety. She also shares her thoughts on Dr. Gabor Maté’s ‘curious compassion’ and how it can help you recognize, feel, or sense your body.
Ludmila also provides a wide array of techniques and ways to calm down your anxiety by tapping into your senses – be it dancing to great music, tasting a feel-good food to enhance your mood, or smelling an evocative scent that brings you to specific nostalgic moments. So, turn your panic into power by tuning in on this episode. Let your mind, body, and soul connect with that state of calmness and peace that you truly deserve with Ludmila today!

QUOTABLES:
“If you are in fight-flight, meaning sympathetic nervous system response — that response is activated within your body, it will be very hard for you to have calming/supportive type of thoughts that can give you some kind of solutions for what you are really facing.”
“In this process of working with anxiety and understanding anxiety, you need to get out from your head and get into your body first – learning how to feel and sense. What are the sensations that I'm feeling in my chest? What are the sensations I'm feeling in my throat? I always advise you to close your eyes.”
