Dr. Martha Beck is here to discuss how anxiety is fueled by the brain's negativity bias and offer creativity as a way to break the anxiety cycle. She distinguishes between anxiety (ongoing worry) and fear (a survival response), suggesting techniques like deep breathing and self-compassion to manage anxiety. She also emphasizes limiting exposure to negative media and the importance of purpose and creativity in reducing stress. Lastly, she highlights the gut-brain connection in managing anxiety.
