Improve Anxiety With Thought Work

Your Thoughts Can Change Your Health

Anxiety is more than just an emotional state—it’s a full-body experience. It can create tightness in the chest, racing thoughts, digestive issues, and chronic tension. It can also affect decision-making, relationships, and even physical health over time. But here’s the good news: your thoughts have power, and shifting them can create real, tangible relief.

The Thought-Feeling Loop

Our minds generate thousands of thoughts each day, many of them on autopilot. When we experience anxiety, those automatic thoughts often sound like:

“What if something goes wrong?”

“I’ll never get through this.”

“I can’t handle this.”

These thoughts create corresponding feelings of fear, worry, and overwhelm, which trigger a physiological stress response. The good news? We can interrupt this cycle.

Thought Work: A Holistic Approach to Anxiety Relief

At Seyhart Wellness, we integrate acupuncture, cupping, and bodywork that help to regulate your nervous system. Acupuncture physically calms the body, allowing for a reset, while thought work helps reshape your inner dialogue. The principles behind thought work are closely aligned with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), one of the most studied and most effective forms of psychotherapy. 

Here’s how you can start:

Recognize the Thought – Pause when you feel anxious. Ask yourself: What thought is fueling this feeling?

Question the Thought – Is this thought absolutely true? Could there be another way to view this situation?

Choose a New Thought – Find a thought that supports calmness and clarity. Try: “I’ve handled challenges before, I can do it again.”

Feel It in Your Body – As you shift your thoughts, notice how your body responds. Combine this practice with acupuncture for a full mind-body reset.

Acupuncture + Thought Work = A Powerful Combination

Acupuncture calms the nervous system and signals to the brain that it’s safe to relax. When combined with thought work, it creates lasting shifts—not just temporary relief. At Seyhart, we specialize in acupuncture treatments that target anxiety, stress, and nervous system dysregulation, helping you regain control of your thoughts and, ultimately, your health.

If anxiety has been holding you back, consider combining acupuncture with intentional thought work for anxiety relief.
