Physical Symptoms of Anxiety
Sometimes my body feels anxious before my mind does.
A tight chest, a stomach that won’t settle, a racing heart out of nowhere.
And I catch myself wondering, what if this could be anxiety?
Anxiety doesn’t always start with spiraling thoughts. For many of us, it shows up in the body first, restlessness, tension, trouble sleeping, or a heaviness we can’t quite explain.
That’s why “just calm down” rarely works. My mind might know I’m okay, but my body hasn’t caught up yet.
It needs something different, grounding, breath, gentle movement, or touch to remind it that it’s safe.
If your body feels on edge even when your mind seems calm, it might be anxiety showing up in its own way. And that’s not a flaw, it’s your nervous system asking for care. 🌿
