Most of us treat anxiety as a malfunction to be fixed or medicated away, and the neuroscience points somewhere stranger. There is a narrow band, a razor&#39;s edge, where the same emotion stops running you and starts fueling you.Dr. Wendy Suzuki is a Professor of Neural Science and Psychology at NYU and the incoming Dean of its College of Arts and Science, a leading authority on neuroplasticity, and the author of <a href="https://amzn.to/3M4fuiZ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Good Anxiety </a><a href="https://amzn.to/3M4fuiZ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">and</a><a href="https://amzn.to/3M4fuiZ" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> Healthy Brain, Happy Life</a>. Her TED Talk on exercise and the brain has been viewed more than 55 million times. What makes this one land is that she doesn&#39;t teach anxiety from the outside. She has lived with social anxiety since she was a kid at birthday parties, still feels it walking into a cocktail party, and built her science around it.In this Best Of conversation, you&#39;ll explore:<ul><li>The half of your nervous system nobody talks about, and the one lever you can consciously pull to switch it on</li><li>What to do the morning after a 3 a.m. spiral that converts the worry into forward motion, a practice she picked up from a stranger at a birthday party</li><li>Why ten minutes of walking lowers anxiety, and the timing detail almost everyone gets wrong</li><li>How much of your own anxiety you can predict before it arrives, and what becomes possible once you can</li><li>The form of anxiety you&#39;re most embarrassed by, and the thing it has been quietly training you to do for other people</li></ul>If you&#39;ve spent years trying to get rid of the feeling, this is an invitation to stop fighting it and start setting the volume.You can find Dr. Wendy at: <a href="https://www.wendysuzuki.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.instagram.com/wendy.suzuki/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Instagram</a> | <a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/podcast/how-to-calm-anxiety-fast-dr-wendy-suzuki" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Episode Transcript</a>Check out our sponsors and resources: <a href="https://www.goodlifeproject.com/sponsors/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Visit Our Sponsor Page</a><h6> </h6><hr> Hosted on Acast.
