When Worry Takes Over: Breaking the Anxiety Spiral
In a world of constant uncertainty and overwhelming news cycles, it's no wonder anxiety feels like it's taking over. Many of us find our worry spirals spinning completely out of control, leaving us exhausted and afraid.
What do you do when fear hijacks your body at 1 AM, trying to control something happening 4,000 miles away? In this episode, I share my raw, honest story of the night I tried to manage my son's flight delay from Iowa - and what it taught me about breaking free from the anxiety patterns that keep us trapped.
In This Episode, You'll Discover:
- Why your worry thoughts are like "well-worn ruts" in your brain
- How God's Word can literally create new neural pathways
- The difference between reasonable concern and paralyzing control
- Practical steps to break the anxiety spiral when worry takes over
- Scripture-based tools that actually work in real-time
If you're exhausted from trying to control outcomes you can't manage, lying awake at night consumed by "what if" thoughts, or feeling hijacked by fear in uncertain times, this episode offers hope and practical help.
