Understanding Anxiety
These are anxious times we're living in right now. I talk a lot about how physical exertion impacts our heart rate variability (HRV) and recovery but it is important to note that emotional and psychological stress can also play a significant role in mediating HRV. One thing we can all do to make the most of anxiety and stress is to try to identify the source of the anxiety and turn it into positive energy.
The problem is "the battle" isn't always obvious. Anxiety can be subtle, appear out of nowhere and accumulate in ways that are difficult to perceive. The more connected we are to the nuanced perturbations of our body the better positioned we will be to interpret and leverage these moments to our advantage. Master your anxiety!!
