00:00:10 --> 00:00:11 science behind it.

00:00:11 --> 00:00:15 Hello,

00:00:26 --> 00:00:31 MOMO 634 Motivational moments just for today.

00:00:46 --> 00:00:49 Welcome to another Wellness Wednesday.

00:00:49 --> 00:00:53 I apologize for the lack of an episode yesterday.

00:00:53 --> 00:00:56 It was a major grief-aversary,

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58 and after writing,

00:00:58 --> 00:00:59 recording,

00:00:59 --> 00:01:00 and editing,

00:01:00 --> 00:01:03 my computer crashed and wiped out the file.

00:01:04 --> 00:01:07 Perhaps it's just as well because I just wasn't in the

00:01:07 --> 00:01:09 headspace to recreate it,

00:01:09 --> 00:01:12 so I carried on with my self-care routine.

00:01:14 --> 00:01:15 However,

00:01:15 --> 00:01:17 today is a new day,

00:01:17 --> 00:01:18 a better day,

00:01:19 --> 00:01:22 and it's the reason for the 634 in the podcast name.

00:01:23 --> 00:01:29 Matthew 634 reminds us we just need to get through today.

00:01:30 --> 00:01:34 So here's my tip for quick relief from anxiety and stress.

00:01:35 --> 00:01:39 It doesn't cost a dime and can be done in under a minute,

00:01:39 --> 00:01:41 though I'd suggest lather,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:42 rinse,

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44 repeat a couple of times.

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45 just for good measure.

00:01:46 --> 00:01:47 It's called grounding,

00:01:48 --> 00:01:53 and you can accomplish it via the 5-4-3-2-1 method.

00:01:54 --> 00:01:57 Name five things you can see,

00:01:58 --> 00:01:59 four things you can touch,

00:02:00 --> 00:02:02 three things you can hear,

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04 two things you can smell,

00:02:05 --> 00:02:06 and one thing you can taste.

00:02:08 --> 00:02:11 Here's the science behind why this works.

00:02:13 --> 00:02:18 It's been said that 98% of the things that we stress and worry

00:02:18 --> 00:02:20 about never come to fruition.

00:02:21 --> 00:02:26 That statistic has been recounted so often someone did a study.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:27 Dr.

00:02:27 --> 00:02:33 Lucas Lafreniere conducted the study called Exposing Worries Deceit,

00:02:33 --> 00:02:38 Percentage of Untrue Worries in Generalized Anxiety Disorder Treatment.

00:02:40 --> 00:02:43 The study was published in the Journal of Behavior Therapy.

00:02:44 --> 00:02:49 The study explored the frequency of untrue worries among individuals with

00:02:49 --> 00:02:54 generalized anxiety disorder and highlighted how many of these

00:02:54 --> 00:02:56 worries never materialized.

00:02:57 --> 00:03:01 And I will link the study below this episode at momo634.com.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:04 Dr.

00:03:04 --> 00:03:10 Lafreniere's study found that 91.4% of the participants'

00:03:10 --> 00:03:13 worries never came to pass.

00:03:14 --> 00:03:14 Thus,

00:03:14 --> 00:03:19 the grounding technique helps us stay tethered to the present

00:03:19 --> 00:03:20 before we can get

00:03:20 --> 00:03:26 lost in the what-ifs of the future or coulda-woulda-shouldas of the past.

00:03:28 --> 00:03:28 Previously,

00:03:28 --> 00:03:32 I've mentioned the Bible verse I keep on my phone's screensaver.

00:03:33 --> 00:03:35 It's Psalm 94, 19.

00:03:36 --> 00:03:42 When anxiety overwhelms me, your consolation delights my soul.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:47 Grounding can help us focus on what I've called the truth

00:03:47 --> 00:03:49 gauntlet found in Philippians 4,

00:03:49 --> 00:03:49 8.

00:03:51 --> 00:03:54 Today's Momoism echoes that and says,

00:03:55 --> 00:04:00 grounding helps us stay connected to the blessings in this moment.

00:04:01 --> 00:04:06 If you've tried grounding, chime in with your experiences below.
