She begins by expressing gratitude for the concern shown by listeners regarding the fires in Maui and Big Island, assuring everyone that she is safe and sending thoughts and prayers to those affected.\\n\\nGina emphasizes the importance of reminding ourselves that we can handle whatever comes our way and not borrowing suffering from the future by worrying about things that may never happen. She highlights the fact that most of what we worry about never materializes, and unexpected events occur instead. Therefore, it's crucial to focus on what we can control and let go of the outcome.\\n\\nExcessive mind chatter drains our energy, both in the subconscious and when we consciously feed it with present moment thoughts. This mental chatter builds up in the body, especially during long periods of inactivity, and adds another layer to our fears and anxieties, resulting in physical discomfort.\\n\\nTo break this cycle, Gina suggests changing our thoughts and interrupting the fear-adrenaline-fear cycle through the body. Unlike mental practices, the body responds immediately in the moment. By consciously shifting different parts of our bodies, we can send positive affirmations to the brain and signal to the amygdala that all is well, reducing its hyperactivity.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
