Understanding the Thought Model

So much of our stress doesn’t come from what’s happening around us—it comes from what’s happening inside us. That’s why in this episode, I break down the Thought Model, which shows how:

• Circumstances trigger thoughts → Thoughts create feelings
• Feelings drive actions → Actions lead to results

When we let stress and anxiety take control, our nervous system responds by keeping us in a constant state of fight, flight, or freeze—and that’s exhausting. But the good news? You have more control than you think.

10 Easy Steps to Regulate Your Nervous System

If you’ve ever felt stuck in overwhelm or struggled with anxious thoughts, these 10 simple steps can help you calm your mind and body:

1. Deep breathing – Slows down your heart rate and signals safety to your brain.
2. Movement – Walking, stretching, or light exercise releases stress and helps regulate emotions.
3. Decluttering – A clear space creates a clear mind.
4. Grounding techniques – Focus on your senses to bring yourself back to the present moment.
5. Cold exposure – Splashing cold water on your face can reset your nervous system.
6. Prayer and worship – Turning to God realigns your heart and mind with His peace.
7. Journaling – Get the thoughts out of your head and onto paper to process them.
8. Limiting screen time – Social media overload fuels anxiety and overstimulation.
9. Healthy nutrition – What you eat impacts your mood and energy.
10. Laughter and joy – A cheerful heart truly is good medicine (Proverbs 17:22).

These are practical tools, but at the core of it all? Your mindset and faith matter.
