What does this mean? 

Muscle tension when anxious is caused by changes in our muscular skeletal system - it is tensing to prepare to “run” from the danger (this was extremely useful for our prehistoric ancestors when they had to run away from predators, but not as useful for us now in daily situations when we're not faced with a hungry lion!). 

Feeling tingling or numbness when anxious is caused by changes in the way that our body is redirecting blood flow to our primary organs as a survival mechanism. When blood flow is redirected, it causes poor circulation, which results in these changes in sensations in our extremities, such as the hands and feet.

What does this mean? 

As our bodies prepare to protect itself from potential danger, it redirects blood flow to primary organs as a survival mechanism. As a result, our heart is working overtime to keep up with the redirection, and we may begin to feel this in the form of tightness in our chest or racing heartbeat.

What does this mean? 

Humans experience a tendency toward the “negativity bias,” which is a scientifically proven survival mechanism of the brain. It biases us to look at negative aspect of a situation first to assess danger and enable survival. Neuroscience research also shows repeatedly that humans respond more prominently to negative stimuli rather than positive ones. Therefore, when we’re anxious, we tend to run through all worst-case scenarios to identify possible danger, leading to negative thoughts cycling through our minds over and over.

What does this mean? 

Being irritable and “on edge” are primary signs of overactivation of our sympathetic nervous systems. Our bodies are preparing to defend themselves from an “attack,” so they release endorphins, including adrenaline, to pump us up and prepare us for “battle.” They also release neurotransmitters that make up stress hormones, which then increase our heart rate, activate our muscles, and give us a boost of immediate energy. We also feel more upset and irritated because of the release of stress hormones.

What does this mean? 

When we’re anxious, we begin to feel overwhelmed because of all of the various things we’re trying to juggle - whether they're internal expectations, external expectations, work, life, family, and more. With a high number of things to pursue and care for on a daily basis, the body again goes into survival mode, and creates the physical effects of feeling overwhelmed.

At night, this feeling of overwhelm (aka the body trying to survive) may turn into sleeplessness and cause poor sleep to keep the body alert and out of danger.

What does this mean? 

Anxiety causes a number of changes in the primary systems of our bodies, including within the gastrointestinal system. When we’re actively in a state of anxiety, our bodies slow down some of their basic functioning, including those related to digestion, and instead focus on survival. Once the stressor has passed or subsided and our bodies begin ramping back up, they experience “learning curves” to return to full function, which may result in side effects like aches, constipation, and/or diarrhea.
