The moment anxiety turns REST into a threat

Описание: You know the moment your body finally stops moving and your mind tightens instead of easing — rest doesn’t bring relief, it wakes something up. This video starts in that exact place, overturning the story you expect: stillness as safety becomes stillness as a trigger. Early on I show the precise instant when rest flips from respite into threat, and I trace the cause‑and‑effect chain that follows: resting creates space, that space invites awareness, awareness rekindles old alarms, and guilt arrives as the first misdirected error we blame on ourselves. If calm feels unsafe, this is where that experience begins, and where the real question lives.

If rest triggers you, comment below with the last time you tried to relax and felt uneasy — your experience helps others feel seen. Subscribe to follow this series; the next episode reveals how anxiety convinces you that slowing down is dangerous and how that belief quietly shapes daily choices. Like if this resonated, save the video for moments when stillness feels unsafe, and share with someone who needs permission to pause. Turn on notifications so you don’t miss the practical reframe that teaches safety in rest, not exhaustion.
