Hey there,

It starts with a sensation.

A skipped heartbeat.

A weird ache.

A dizzy spell.

A pressure.

A twitch.

A burp that suddenly feels suspicious.

And before you know it, your brain has assigned itself a new full-time job:

Body Detective.

Now you're checking.

Monitoring.

Analyzing.

Comparing.

Googling.

Reassuring.

Re-checking.

And somehow by the end of the day you've spent six hours investigating a sensation that lasted six seconds.

Sound familiar?

The frustrating part is that anxiety doesn't just create scary thoughts.

It creates very real physical sensations.

That's why chest tightness feels convincing.

That's why dizziness feels convincing.

That's why a skipped heartbeat can send your brain into a full-blown investigation.

In this week's article, I break down why anxiety can make you hyper-aware of your body, why symptoms feel so convincing, and how the detective work often becomes part of the cycle.

One of my favorite lines from the article:

"By lunch you've solved absolutely nothing, but you've managed to ruin your entire day."

If you've ever spent an entire afternoon monitoring a symptom, you'll probably understand exactly what I mean.

Keep it brash,

Lisa
