In this episode Dona discussed:

• The difference between anxiety and panic
• How to deal with anxiety
• How to deal with panic
• Working with your emotions

Key takeaways:

• Both anxiety and panic include symptoms like fight or flight, discomfort, racing heart rate, stomach pains, etc. Anxiety slowly builds up over time, and can lead to anxiety attacks, whereas panic is physical and is a present time believing that they are in danger.
• You can slow your anxiety back down by relaxing your body, taking deep breaths, and journaling.   Many techniques that quiet the thoughts.
• Acceptance is the key to dealing with panic attacks. It's not about trying to slow down your body; it's about accepting that you're okay and not in danger.
• The more you allow the physicality of your emotions, the sooner you process it through and become more organic. Resisting emotions prolongs the process and causes other symptoms 

“When you make emotions your friend, your thoughts and feelings move and flow, ease and peace is in your life.” – Dona Joy Airey
