Natural Anxiety and Sensitivity Relief : Without Medications, Supplements or Restrictive Diets
Nov 18, 2023
Are you seeking natural methods for anxiety and sensitivity relief wiithout relying on medications, supplements, or restrictive diets? You're not alone.
Concerns about medication side effects, dependency, and interactions with other drugs can make this choice even more difficult. Additionally, the financial burden of functional practitioners and supplement protocols that aren’t covered by insurance can quickly add up.
Restrictive diets and other avoidance behaviors, while they may offer some relief, often dampen the enjoyment of dining out and celebrations and are rarely sustainable. A growing number of individuals are exploring self-directed neuroplasticity programs as an evidence-based option—one that empowers them with the tools they need to finally break free from anxiety, fatigue, food sensitivities, and so much more.
The Renew & Rewire Training Method
Renew & Rewire is a Christian Christ-centered program specifically designed to renew the mind and rewire the brain for nervous system regulation.
This program empowers you with biblical truths and neuroplasticity tools that are backed by the latest research in neuroscience and do not require the use of medications, supplements, or restrictive diets.
The Power of The Word of God: Neuroplasticity
Neuroplasticity is the brain's God-designed ability to adapt, change, and heal throughout our lives. It’s a fundamental concept that can be leveraged to naturally reverse anxiety, fatigue, chronic symptoms, and sensitivities. By harnessing applied neuroplasticity and the promises in the Word of God, individuals can rewire their brain pathways to break free from negative thought patterns, emotional responses, and behaviors associated with anxiety and other conditions.
This process involves consciously participating with God to redirect and renew these pathways, establishing new connections that lead to improved spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being.
By understanding and applying God’s Word and neuroplasticity principles, you can take control of your healing journey—without relying on external interventions like medications or supplements or adhering to restrictive lifestyles. Brain rewiring is a powerful tool for lasting relief, improved quality of life, and deeper faith.
In this blog, we’ll discuss five brain rewiring tips so you can begin your journey today.
5 All-Natural Tips to Begin Rewiring Your Brain Today
Tip 1: Be on the lookout for glimmers of God's goodness throughout your day.
What we focus on creates neural connections in the brain, making those pathways easier to access in the future. The more we set our attention on a specific thought or activity, the more we prime the pathways, creating lasting changes to brain structure and function. Make a conscious effort to seek beauty in all things.
For example, if you pass by a dilapidated home on your daily walk, instead of fixating on the rotting wood or chipped paint, choose to notice the often-overlooked rosebush in the yard. Call out, search for, and savor His goodness in all things.
Tip 2: Start and end the day with prayer.
Morning and evening prayer acts as a powerful rhythm, bookending your day with faith. This practice takes as little as one to two minutes and can be done from the comfort of your bed.
-
Morning prayer: Set positive intentions for the day ahead. Focus on gratitude, affirmations, and listening for God to speak. Take a moment to envision God walking closely with you throughout the day.
-
Evening prayer: Reflect on the blessings of the day and look ahead with great expectation. Ending the day on a positive note promotes restful sleep and a faith-filled mindset.
This AM/PM prayer rhythm helps rewire your brain, aligning your thoughts with faith and God's truth.
Tip 3: Opt for lighthearted, relaxing, or uplifting news, entertainment, and activities.
We are instructed in Philippians 4:8-9:
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.”
God did not design us to be inundated with negativity 24/7. Your brain does not distinguish well between what you see and hear versus what you personally experience—these moments get stored as memories. A good rule of thumb when retraining the brain is to ask yourself:
-
What brain chemistry is this promoting?
-
Is this encouraging stress hormones (CAN chemistry) or happiness hormones (DOSE chemistry)?
Tip 4: Change up your routine or acquire new skills.
Small shifts in routine can create new neural pathways. This could look like:
-
Moving furniture around
-
Driving a different route to work
-
Sitting on the opposite side of the couch
-
Using your non-dominant hand
When I began my journey, I decided to start brushing my teeth with my left hand. For months, I had to remind myself. Then, one day, I realized I had used my left hand automatically—that was proof that the brain can and will adapt!
Tip 5: Embrace Playfulness.
Embracing playfulness and silliness has serious brain-retraining benefits. It can:
-
Increase happiness hormones (DOSE chemistry)
-
Decrease stress hormones (CAN chemistry)
-
Reduce inflammation
Many of us were told as children to “stop acting so silly,” which may have stifled our natural playfulness. A key brain retraining principle is finding ways to elevate or shift your mood each day—acting playful and silly is one way to do that.
At first, reviving your silliness may feel awkward because your brain has learned otherwise. But in time, it will relearn, and you’ll reap the benefits.
