Anxiety often lives within the speed of things—the rush of a thought before it is finished or a worry arriving before the last has settled. Today, we slow down to catch the moment that is already here. I am your host, Martin, clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic, welcoming you to your daily 10 minutes of guided stillness.I am incredibly excited to share that I am building the Anchored app for iOS.

Name it to yourself; you have collected a moment.Slow the Hands: Pick one everyday action, like making a drink or putting on a coat, and do it slowly and intentionally. This trains your nervous system to find calm within the routine.The Breath Reset: If the day feels too fast, use one "4-2-6" breath (4 in, 2 hold, 6 out) to step back into the present. It was always here; you just need to breathe your way back.Thank you for putting yourself first today.Be Kind Time Chapters00:00 - The speed of anxiety vs. the pace of the moment 00:32 - Welcome to Calming Anxiety 00:49 - The Anchored App: A home for your pocket 01:13 - GoFundMe & Founding Member Lifetime Access 01:54 - Guided Vagus Nerve Breathwork (4-2-6) 04:31 - Visualization: Becoming a "Moment Collector" 07:07 - Affirmations for a Slower Pace 08:27 - 3 Daily Caring Tips 10:36 - Anxiety Breaker Course & Anchored CTA To see the progress of our new home for stillness, visit calminganxiety.org/anchored.👉 Click to subscribe and unlock ad-free episodes now!Support the Show:Ad-Free Listening: Enjoy Calming Anxiety without ads at https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/calming-anxiety--4110266/supportBuy Me a Coffee: Support hosting costs at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/calminganxietyhttps://calminganxietypodcast.substack.com/?r=6zm0sc&utm_campaign=pub-share-checklistRate & Review: Leave a 5-star review on Spotify or Apple Podcasts to help us reach more listeners!YouTube: Watch all episodes at https://www.youtube.com/c/calminganxiety?sub_confirmation=1 Social Media SupportReady for More Calm?Thank you for listening to the Calming Anxiety Podcast, featuring guided meditation, mindfulness, and sleep hypnosis sessions with Martin Hewlett.
