Discover why uncontrolled hand movements instantly betray your anxiety and compromise your authority. We explore the codified Roman rhetoric of gestures, revealing how intentional stillness sends a powerful signal of clarity and calm to both your audience and your own nervous system. Finally, we integrate the story of Stoic philosopher Epictetus, who used unwavering hand control as his shield against external turmoil and a testament to his ultimate inner freedom. ALL ABOUT THIS WEEK'S SERIES Welcome to The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm. If you've ever felt your energy drain away in a stressful situation, if your hands shake before a presentation, or if you struggle to maintain focus under pressure, this series is for you. We often try to solve problems of confidence and anxiety with our thoughts—we argue with our inner critic, we try to logically reason our way into feeling secure. But the ancient Romans understood a profound truth: Your body is the source of your authority. The Roman Empire was built on more than just discipline; it was built on an embodied presence that they called Gravitas—a personal weight, seriousness, and undeniable importance. This journey is a practical masterclass in self-command. By the end of this series, you won't just feel more confident—you will have a physical, repeatable, and accessible code to embody that confidence whenever you need it. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, The Roman Power Code: 7 Days to Inner Authority and Calm," episodes 3416-3422. YOUR WEEKLY CHALLENGE: Intentional Micro-Posturing Quest: Check your posture, adjust your shoulders, back, relax your jaw, and hold the Gaze of Authority (steady, calm eye contact). This challenge forces you to consciously apply the Roman techniques in low-stakes situations, building the neural pathways for Embodied Power to become automatic. THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY Day 1: Dignity Visualization Day 2: Affirmation: "I command my presence and own my peace." Day 3: Praetor's Pause Day 4: Ganesha mudra for overcoming obstacles Day 5: Seventh Chakra for Interconnectedness Day 6: Mental Focus Flow meditation, combining the week's techniques Day 7: Weekly review meditation and closure SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

For something that we do every single day, and something that has the power to change every aspect of our life, we sure don't focus on, train, or develop it. And, that thing is conversation. Nothing great ever happened in your life without, first, a conversation – no promotions, no jobs, no clients, no dates, nothing. My guest today, Payam Pakmanesh (known as "The Convo Guy") is here to explain why and, more importantly, how we can build and develop our ability to communicate more effectively. We cover the proper principles of communication, Adlerian Psychology and how it helps you focus on what you can control, the "Zoom Flow" model for deeper connection, how to make yourself more approachable, and becoming aware of how others perceive you.

Inner Peace vs Retail Rage - How do shops design our experience to remove our decisions and make us to FOMO into all sorts of weird situations? This episode peels back the slick banners and countdown timers to show the tiny psychological tricks that turn shoppers into hunters. Scarcity, anchoring, and anticipation aren't marketing buzzwords — they're brain hacks. Retailers riff off ancient instincts: spot a rare fruit, grab it. Online, those instincts run on caffeine and fast clicks. The result? We chase status, reassurance, and an imagined better life via objects. Three actionable takeaways: Pause 24 hours before you buy to let impulse die. Flag “true needs” vs “story purchases” in a list. Reframe purchases as stories you'll tell later. SPONSORS

Most people crumble the second someone hurls an insult their way. You, me, everyone. But this short episode throws a Zen-sized wrench into that reaction with one of the simplest, hardest truths in spiritual awakening: You only suffer when you accept the insult that was handed to you. Will reads “The Gift of Insults,” a powerful parable from The Monk and the Butterfly that reveals why your peace isn't actually as fragile as you think...it's just mismanaged. And then he goes off-script into a raw, honest reflection on triggers, the pain-body, energy dynamics, and why letting people “take your peace” is a decision… not an inevitability. This is one of those deceptively small episodes that lands like a tuning fork in your chest. What You'll LearnWhy insults are “gifts”, and how not accepting them changes everythingHow your pain-body hijacks your reactions (thanks, Eckhart Tolle)Why people try to steal your energy, and how offering it freely disarms themA practical approach to staying grounded when someone comes at you sidewaysHow triggers point to deeper inner work you've been avoidingWhy protecting your peace is a skill… and one you probably haven't mastered yeWill digs into:How this same lesson plays out with his daughterWhen “not accepting the gift” becomes spiritual bypassingWhy understanding the energetics behind conflict changes how you handle itHow to stop giving away your power without becoming cold, detached, or numbWhy This Matters If you're on a spiritual path, you're going to be challenged, often by the exact people who know how to push your buttons. This episode gives you the framework to stop getting dragged around by other people's emotional chaos. It's not about perfection. It's about awareness. Control. Choice.

Appreciating your past begins with being fully present in the now. In this episode, we explore how slowing down and grounding into the present moment allows you to revisit your past experiences with compassion, curiosity, and kindness. When you view your journey through this lens, even challenges can reveal their hidden wisdom and gifts. We also share the benefits of journaling as a tool for healing and clarity—including the simple yet powerful practice of a “brain dump,” where you release all the swirling thoughts and to-do lists onto paper. This practice helps calm the mind, clear the clutter, and create space for insight and inner peace to emerge.Have you joined our Facebook Group yet?

As we explore this vital subject, I emphasize the uniqueness of each individual's journey through hormonal shifts, whether during perimenopause, menopause, or even monthly cycles. Recognizing the natural ebb and flow of hormonal changes, I reassure listeners that they are not "broken" or "losing it"—rather, their bodies are in a transformative phase, prompting a deeper understanding and connection to self.I lay the foundation by discussing the physiological impacts of fluctuating hormone levels and outline how these changes can manifest as various emotional and physical sensations. The transition can trigger new feelings of anxiety, identity crises, and insights into how one's life roles have evolved. It's essential to approach these transitions with curiosity, as understanding the interplay between hormones, stress, and emotional well-being can empower women during this compelling time.Commencing with an intimate exploration of the effects of estrogen and progesterone, I highlight how these hormones influence mood and anxiety levels. Listeners are encouraged to recognize that increased anxiety during these transitions is not a sign of weakness but rather a normal physiological response. I present practical strategies for self-care, including breathing techniques and grounding exercises, to help ease anxiety and cultivate a nurturing relationship with oneself. By advocating for slow exhale breathing, comforting mantras, and gentle physical practices, I offer tools that can aid women in navigating this sensitive phase with grace.#Perimenopause, #Menopause, #MidlifeAnxiety, #HormonalAnxiety, #WomensHealth, #TheChangeOfLife, #AnxietyRelief, #MidlifeTransition, #Recalibration, #IdentityShift, #Estrogen, #Progesterone, #NervousSystem, #StressManagement, #PrioritizeSleep, #SelfCare, #SetBoundaries, #GABA, #SlowExhale, #YouAreNotBroken, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #ChristianeNorthrup, #FemininePower, #NotLosingIt, #AnxietySupport, #MentalWellness, #StressRelief, #MindBodyConnection, #LifeTransitions, #SelfCompassion, #NervousSystemRegulation, #EmotionalHealth, #HealthJourney, #PersonalGrowth, #SelfHelp, #InnerPeace, #Midlife, #HormoneHealth, #WellbeingJourney, #DeepBreathing, #GroundingTechniques, #MentalClarity, #Recalibration, #ItsOkayToStruggle, #FindingYourCenter, #PodcastForAnxiety, #AuthenticSelf, #ChangingRhythms #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Our bodies respond to the thoughts in our head. We make choices because of our thoughts. And if we have a scary thought, we feel fear. If our thoughts are angry in nature, we feel anger. If we have worrying thoughts, we feel stressed and anxious. If they are positive, we feel good and happy.We think reality effects our thoughts, but it is our thoughts that create our reality. Most of us simply have an untrained mind. Our mind is our master. The ego runs the show.In this podcast, I talk about how our higher self can take back the reins of our mind. I discuss how our egos took control in the first place and the sneaky tricks it uses to hold on to power. And I share some simple solutions for taming the mind so that it becomes our loyal, helpful companion instead of our moody, needy, and impulsive boss.Please enjoy other episodes where I share meditation techniques, tips and spiritual lessons from around the world for peaceful and stress-free living.

Instead of giving in to the pressure to hustle harder or plan every detail of the year ahead, I share why I'm intentionally stepping back to reconnect with my heart and inner guidance. This is a conversation about shifting from doing to being, tuning out the noise of social media and hustle culture, and learning to trust the stillness.

By exploring the 'what-if mind,' we unpack how these relentless thoughts can spiral into overwhelming anxiety. The discussion centers on recognizing where our concerns originate, often rooted in our instinct to protect ourselves. While our minds are hardwired to anticipate dangers and potential problems, this survival mechanism can easily turn into an exhausting cycle of worry.The show emphasizes that these what-ifs can feel convincing and powerful, often painting scenarios that never materialize while neglecting positive outcomes. This pattern leads to a narrowed perspective, amplifying fear beyond reality. I stress the importance of not fighting or suppressing these thoughts but rather acknowledging their presence and gently guiding the mind back to the present—where our true power lies.Throughout the episode, I share strategies to help listeners identify and manage their what-if thoughts. The key is early recognition—skills that can be cultivated over time. I discuss the significance of labeling anxious thoughts as they arise, reframing them to acknowledge that they are simply future predictions and not current facts. This technique enables listeners to replace anxiety with grounding affirmations and return to their breath, thereby reclaiming their calm.#AnxietyRelief, #FutureAnxiety, #Overthinking, #WorryLess, #CalmYourMind, #WhatIfs, #AnxietySupport, #StressRelief, #AnxietyAwareness, #AnxietyTips, #EmotionalWellness, #QuietMind, #Mindfulness, #PresentMoment, #ReturnToNow, #BeHereNow, #BePresent, #MindfulLiving, #InTheMoment, #MindfulnessPractice, #CalmMind, #PeaceOfMind, #GuidedMeditation, #MeditationPractice, #BreathingExercises, #Breathwork, #Grounding, #Mantra, #Affirmations, #DailyMeditation, #MeditationJourney, #MindfulBreathing, #MentalHealth, #MentalHealthMatters, #SelfCare, #SelfLove, #PersonalGrowth, #InnerPeace, #Wellness, #Wellbeing, #Healing, #EndTheStigma, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #AnxietyCoach, #LifeCoach, #WellnessPodcast, #Coaching, #PodcastLife. #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Are you noticing the same patterns showing up in your life repeatedly? In this episode, we explore how to create space and time to check in with yourself honestly — acknowledging which patterns uplift and serve you, and which ones keep you feeling stuck. We talk about Einstein's famous definition of insanity—doing the same things over and over again while expecting different results—and how awareness is the first step toward transformation. We also discuss the importance of releasing the need to ask “why” and instead shifting toward gratitude, boundary-setting, and self-compassion. By owning your story without recruiting others into it, you reclaim your power to rewrite it.

I delve into the importance of shifting our thought patterns and embracing a more constructive mindset. Reflecting on a time before the internet, I discuss how scarce access to information made the wisdom I encountered all the more impactful. Today, with an abundance of readily available resources, it's easy to overlook the depth of insight contained within these pieces of advice. My goal is to engage listeners in a slow, thoughtful exploration of how we can apply these lessons in our daily lives.The episode centers on key passages from Al-Anon literature, specifically “Just for Today,” which provides a series of affirmations designed to encourage mindfulness and a focus on the present. I highlight several passages, starting with the reminder to live through the day without becoming overwhelmed by all our problems. This notion is transformative; it encourages breaking down challenges into manageable pieces instead of feeling burdened by life's endless demands. I illustrate how this approach can create a mental space that allows for clearer thinking and creativity, paving the way for inner peace.Moving deeper, I discuss the significance of happiness as an active choice rather than a passive state. The episode affirms Abraham Lincoln's belief that happiness is often a matter of mindset, so I urge listeners to find moments of joy, even amidst challenges. Each suggestion from the "Just for Today" list serves as a prompt for self-reflection, encouraging listeners to consider their own approaches to happiness and contentment in daily life.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #JustForToday, #MentalWellness, #HealingJourney, #AlAnon, #AnxietyRelief, #SelfCare, #Mindfulness, #DailyPractice, #PersonalGrowth, #MindsetShift, #LetGoAndLetGod, #InnerPeace, #FindYourCalm, #PeaceOfMind, #EmotionalHealth, #StressManagement, #LiveInThePresent, #Acceptance, #BeUnafraid, #MeditationTime, #QuietHour, #LongFormReading, #MindfulLiving, #SelfCareMatters, #StrengthenYourMind, #ExerciseYourSoul, #KindnessMatters, #ProgressNotPerfection, #RecoveryIsPossible, #OneDayAtATime, #AnxiousMind, #OvercomingAnxiety, #PanicDisorder #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Professor Stephen G. Post, one of the world's leading scholars on altruism, love, compassion, and the science of giving, has a beautiful new book out: Pure Unlimited Love: Science and the 7 Paths to Inner Peace.In it, he writes:When the happiness, security, and well-being of another feels as meaningful and real to us as our own, or perhaps more so, we love that person.This love, which Stephen has made a central focus across in his life's work across 4 decadesAs a researcher, a writer, a professor of preventive medicine and founder of the Institute for Research on Pure Unlimited Love.Is the type of love that includes, but extends beyond, our nearest and dearest to all humanity. It's love that is based on our shared dignity and interdependence with one another and with nature.Today we'll dive deep into the topic of love as we kick off the third installment in this trilogy.

In today's episode, Gina discusses an important strategy to help individuals suffering with anxiety: identify things that are not within your control and let go of any requirement to control outcomes relating to these things. We live in an uncertain world and our ability to control external events can be extremely limited. It is an enormous gift you can give yourself, to let go of the expectation that you can control such external forces. Listen in and learn how you can give yourself this gift today and in perpetuity, into the future.Please visit our Sponsor Page to find all the links and codes for our awesome sponsors!https://www.theanxietycoachespodcast.com/sponsors/ Thank you for supporting The Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

Realize this, and you will find strength.- Marcus AureliusChapters0:26 Introduction to Finding Calm2:49 Control vs. Acceptance6:26 Reflecting on What You Can Control9:29 The Courage of Acceptance12:02 The Power of Kindness13:52 Embracing Uncertainty15:02 Returning to Inner PeaceSummaryIn today's episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the vital topic of what we can truly control amidst the turmoil and uncertainty that so many are facing in the world today. As we navigate our lives filled with pressures from work, family, and health, it has become increasingly essential to reconnect with our internal sense of calm. So often, we allow anxiety to take the driver's seat, leading us to believe that if we can control every aspect of our lives, we will find peace. However, I invite you to explore with me the paradigm shift that comes from recognizing what is indeed within our control and what isn't.The discussion begins by acknowledging the overwhelming nature of our current environment, where uncertainty seems to prevail. In these moments, our minds can spiral into an anxious loop filled with "what if" scenarios. I highlight that while our minds are extraordinary problem solvers and have kept us safe throughout history, that very capability can become counterproductive when anxiety takes hold. As we unpack this, we see how anxiety amplifies our reactions to uncertainty, leading us to try managing aspects of life that are far beyond our reach.I introduce the idea of a conceptual circle that represents the dichotomy between what we control and what we don't. Inside this circle, we can focus on elements such as our choices, self-care, and responses to daily challenges. Outside that circle lies the unpredictable — the weather, other people's decisions, and countless scenarios that we cannot influence. I emphasize the crucial shift towards redirecting our attention from the outer circle back to our own sphere of influence, positing that our true power resides there.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #GinaRyan, #Anxiety, #FindingCalm, #Uncertainty, #Control, #Acceptance, #Mindfulness, #InnerPeace, #SelfCare, #StressRelief, #Resilience, #MentalWellness, #WhatIsInYourControl, #Stoicism, #MarcusAurelius, #AnxietyManagement, #LettingGo, #NotAControlFreak, #AnxiousMind, #NervousSystem, #EmotionalRegulation, #PeaceInThePresent, #StopFixing, #EmbraceUncertainty, #MentalHealthMatters, #AnxietyAwareness, #PersonalPowerSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textIn this episode, Ryan reframes success through the lens of awareness, alignment, and steady effort. Drawing on conversations with high performers and adventurers like Damian Browne—who rowed solo from New York City to Ireland with no prior rowing experience—you'll hear how the real victory lies in self-realization and inner peace, not outcomes or applause.Damian's story reveals a sharper, more useful definition of success: one measured by honesty, courage, and connection. Each day becomes a chance to learn who you are under pressure, to refine your process, and to serve from a place of clarity instead of fear.Ryan breaks down how to operationalize this mindset so it shows up in your calendar, not just your journal:Simple, daily commitments aligned with your core valuesHonest reflection to uncover blind spotsSmall, consistent actions that build inner freedomWhen fear stops driving your choices, confidence becomes durable—carried across seasons, goals, and setbacks.Thank you for tuning in!

Once we learn to touch this peace, we will be healed and transformed.-Thich Nhat HanhChapters0:26 Introduction to Inner Peace2:43 Constructing Your Inner Refuge5:38 Breathing Into Calm8:26 Strengthening Your Sanctuary10:50 Filling Your Sanctuary with Nourishment13:23 Caring for Your Inner Space14:39 Returning to Your Calm Center16:25 Conclusion and ReflectionSummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the concept of finding calm within ourselves by constructing a personal inner sanctuary designed specifically for anxiety relief. I explore the notion that the safest and most peaceful space we can inhabit is always accessible, regardless of external circumstances. My aim is to guide you in recognizing and nurturing the inherent peace that resides within you, often overshadowed by the distractions and chaos of daily life.We unpack the societal tendency to seek solace outside ourselves, pointing out how this quest can lead to a perpetual state of frustration and anxiety. The illusion of external control can be exhausting, pulling our attention away from the wealth of tranquility that already exists within. I emphasize that while life presents challenges and unpredictability, we can create a steady inner refuge—a sanctuary that offers steadfast calm amidst the storms of external chaos. This inner space allows us to cultivate resilience and strength, enabling us to respond thoughtfully rather than reactively to the world around us.As we begin this journey of building your inner sanctuary, I invite you to take a moment to visualize what this safe space may look like for you. Through gentle breaths and mindfulness techniques, we focus on grounding ourselves and returning to our bodies, fostering a sense of safety in the present moment. I encourage you to engage with sensory details that evoke feelings of peace, whether through the sound of water, the warmth of sunlight, or simply the natural rhythm of your breath. Each element you envision becomes a powerful anchor that helps your nervous system recognize tranquility.#InnerSanctuary, #AnxietyRelief, #FindYourCalm, #MentalWellness, #InnerPeace, #Mindfulness, #GinaRyan, #TheAnxietyCoachesPodcast, #SelfCompassion, #Breathe, #QuietStrength, #InnerRefuge, #ZenLiving, #MentalHealthMatters, #StopReactingStartResponding, #CopingSkills, #WorryFree, #MindBodyConnection, #MeditationPractice, #EmotionalSafety, #PresentMoment, #ThichNhatHanh, #TraumaInformed, #NervousSystemRegulationSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How you breathe determines how you feel, how you age, and even how you die.-James NestorChapters0:26 Welcome to the Breath Journey3:42 Exploring the Power of Breath9:07 The Science of Calm Breathing14:12 Breath as Self-Compassion16:06 Practical Steps for Healthier Breathing17:21 Closing Thoughts and ReflectionsSummaryIn this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the profound impact of our breath on anxiety and emotional regulation. As I explore the significance of breath, I highlight it as a fundamental, yet often overlooked, tool for achieving a state of tranquility and balance within our bodies and minds. Drawing inspiration from James Nestor's enlightening book, "Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art," I emphasize how the way we breathe can dramatically influence our overall well-being.Throughout the discussion, I unpack the automatic nature of breathing and how our typical patterns can betray us, especially in moments of anxiety. When we are overwhelmed, it's common for our breathing to become shallow and rapid, sending distress signals to our brain and maintaining a state of hyperarousal. I reflect on my own journey of discovering the benefits of long, slow exhalations and conscious breathing, which not only transformed my personal anxiety management but also allowed me to assist others in making similar changes.I stress the importance of breathing through the nose, as highlighted by Nestor, reclaiming what he describes as the "lost art of breathing." I detail the physiological benefits of proper nasal breathing — it calms the nervous system and activates the parasympathetic response, ensuring that our bodies can transition to rest and digest mode. Practical exercises are woven throughout the episode, allowing listeners to engage with their breath in real time, guiding them away from stress and towards a newfound sense of safety.#AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #Breathwork, #AnxietyRelief, #NervousSystem, #MindBody, #JamesNestor, #BreathTheNewScienceOfALostArt, #NasalBreathing, #SlowBreathing, #Calm #Mindfulness, #RelaxationTechniques, #VagusNerve, #SelfCompassion, #HealthAndWellness, #StressManagement, #ConsciousBreathing, #RestAndDigest, #AnxietySucks, #BreathingExercises, #ReduceStress, #PodcastLife, #DailyPractice, #InhaleExhale, #InnerPeace, #EmotionalHealth, #MentalWellness, #NaturalCalm, #ResetButton #GinaRyan #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
