In this episode of Year of Profit, we explore how anxiety works inside the body and mind, and how learning to regulate both creates lasting calm under pressure. This episode begins by breaking down what anxiety really is: a survival system designed to protect you, not punish you. Joe explains why anxiety feels so physical—tight chest, racing heart, shallow breathing, digestive issues—and how these sensations are signs of a nervous system preparing for danger, even when no real threat is present. Understanding these reactions removes fear from the experience and stops anxiety from escalating into panic. Listeners are guided through how the nervous system responds to stress and why logic alone can't shut anxiety down. True calm begins with the body. Through practical techniques like breathing regulation, grounding, muscle release, and daily nervous system care, this episode teaches how to prevent anxiety before it spirals. From there, the episode transitions into Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as the mental counterpart to physical regulation. CBT is introduced not as positive thinking, but as a powerful framework for understanding the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Joe explains how anxious thoughts are often interpretations—not facts—and how common cognitive distortions like catastrophizing, mind-reading, and all-or-nothing thinking quietly fuel anxiety. The CBT segment provides simple, actionable tools to question anxious thoughts, create mental space, and replace fear-based assumptions with balanced perspectives. When the body is calm and the mind is trained, anxiety loses its grip. This episode emphasizes that calm is not a personality trait—it's a skill. A skill built through awareness, repetition, and practice. Anxiety doesn't need to be eliminated to live a successful, profitable life. It needs to be understood and managed. Whether you're dealing with daily stress, performance pressure, or chronic anxiety, this episode gives you the tools to regain control—physically, mentally, and emotionally. Because calm isn't passive. Calm is trained. The Year of Profit podcast, hosted by Joe Shortridge, is your go-to resource for transforming every aspect of your life.
