In today's episode, Gina discusses the importance of the subconscious for our overall mental wellness. We can discount stress and other things in such a way that we are oblivious to the causes of anxiety symptoms emerging in our lives. Denial, normalization, avoidance and other adverse coping mechanisms can contribute to this state of overburdened subconscious mind and unaware conscious mind. Listen in to better understand causes of this situation, how to avoid it and how to heal from it.

Summary
In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we delve into the unseen world of subconscious anxiety behaviors and their impact on our daily lives. Research indicates that a significant portion of our thoughts and actions, up to 95%, are influenced by our subconscious. These hidden anxieties can manifest as physical symptoms and sensations that may baffle healthcare providers.

I urge listeners to examine their routines and thought patterns to uncover any underlying signs of anxiety. Often, we engage in anxious behaviors without even realizing they are driven by anxiety. Examples include excessive planning, overthinking, and avoidance. We may deny or downplay our stress levels, normalizing them as part of everyday life. It's vital to recognize that stress is experienced differently by each individual and can have a profound impact on our well-being.

Many individuals shy away from acknowledging their stress due to the fear of the implications it may have on their responsibilities and commitments. This avoidance can lead to a dangerous "head-in-the-sand" mentality, where we pretend everything is fine while our stress levels continue to rise. Stigma surrounding stress admission, especially among professionals, further compounds these feelings of denial.

We explore the consequences of hiding our stress and presenting a facade of having it all together. The fear of appearing weak or incapable of handling challenges can contribute to anxiety and bury our emotions deeper into our subconscious. It is crucial to recognize that our perceived "normal" level of stress may actually be unhealthy, and anxiety can manifest in various ways.
