Meditation won’t stop your anxiety if your nervous system is already in overdrive... and no, that doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong. In this video, I explain why breathing and meditation sometimes calm the body, but your thoughts keep spiralling anyway. The issue isn’t willpower or focus. It’s using the right tools in the wrong order. When the body feels anxious, restless, or wired, trying to calm the mind first often backfires. Regulation needs to happen in the body before rewiring can happen in the mind. In this video, you’ll learn: ✨ Why breathing and meditation don’t always stop overthinking ✨ The difference between regulating the nervous system and rewiring thoughts ✨ Why movement is often the missing first step ✨ A simple 4-step sequence to interrupt mental spirals in real time ✨ How to shift from “I have to get this right” to clarity without perfection This isn’t anti-meditation (because I personally love meditation!) It’s about sequence. If you’re a high-functioning professional, leader, or high achiever who feels calm one moment and spiralling the next, this framework will help you understand what’s actually happening, and what to do instead. ✨ Save this for the next time breathing helps your body, but your mind keeps running. ✨ Like, Share & Subscribe to @TheKindnessCatalog if you want to Stay Calm Under Pressure And let's connect on... 📸 Instagram: / thekindnesscatalog 🎵 TikTok: / thekindnesscatalog 💼 LinkedIn: / jessicamoini 👩🏽💻 Apply for a call at www.thekindnesscatalog.com #Anxiety #AnxietyRelief #AnxietyEducation #AnxietyPsychology #NervousSystem #NervousSystemRegulation #Overthinking #StressResponse #MentalHealthEducation #PerformancePsychology #HighFunctioningAnxiety #MindBodyConnection #EmotionalRegulation #MeditationPractice #Breathwork #StressManagement #PsychologyTools #CalmUnderPressure #MentalPerformance #WellbeingAtWork
