Anxiety isn’t a “disorder.” It’s a powerful signal meant to wake you up from the hypnotic trance of modern-day living. It’s telling you that you’ve drifted away from your true self and what it means to be truly human.

Three core networks run your reality: * Salience Network (SN) * Default Mode Network (DMN) * Executive Control Network (ECN) When hijacked, they trap you in survival mode 24/7.

Reason #1: When your SN is hijacked--everything feels like an emergency. Your salience network was built to spot a tiger in the grass... NOT Twitter hooks and bling. Yet, every time you check your iPhone your SN spikes into high alert. You live in constant threat and fear.

Reason #2: When your DMN is hijacked, your mind won't stop time-traveling. Instead of resting, it replays old wounds, reviews past conversations, and rehearses disasters. You’re stuck in negative thought loops reviewing past and future events that prevent you from accessing the

Reason #3: When your ECN is hijacked, you stay stuck in catastrophe thinking. Your Executive Control Network (ECN) should steer you toward clarity and success. Instead, it locks you into: 1. “What ifs” 2. Future disaster imaginings 3. Repeated circular rumination.

Reason #4: Your neural networks fight with each other. 1. Your SN screams "danger." 2. Your DMN continuously loops on the past. 3. Your ECN thinks worst-case scenario. As a result, your brain stays stuck on red alert.

Reason #5: Society has weaponized your biology (and you're not aware of this!) For instance: 1. Your SN is hijacked by clickbait (news and media). 2. Endless FOMO hijacks your DMN. 3. Productivity hijacks your ECN. Modern culture profits from your brain being hijacked.

The result. You... 1. Relive pain that has already passed. 2. Predict disasters that never happen. 3. Miss a life you could have had. Because modern-day society traps your attention and works against free thinking.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Anxiety isn’t your enemy. It’s an alarm signal in modern-day society that you are disconnected from your truth. It is calling you back to authentic connection.

Your 3 neural networks are out of alignment. Ask yourself these 3 questions... "What aspect of your authentic self is trying to emerge?" "Where are you living others' expectations rather than your own?" "How is your anxiety pointing you toward emotional growth?" Your answers

If you want a deeper dive into present moment awareness... Here are my tools to rewire your three neural networks and help you return to present-moment awareness. 1. Walk outdoors without devices (reset SN) 2. Draw to turn rumination into imagination (rebalance DMN) 3.

@LORWEN108 Hi, would you consider a live space interview?

@MMV747 what do you mean a live space interview?

@LORWEN108 @threadreaderapp unroll

@LORWEN108 I overthink sometimes and you have reasons why I can't? PhD huh?

@LORWEN108 Needs a copyedit: 5 reasons why you: -Can’t Sleep -Overthink -Feel Exhausted

@LORWEN108 @threadreaderapp unroll

@LORWEN108 Your thread is gaining traction! #TopUnroll https://threadreaderapp.com/th... 🙏🏼@NeuroCoachMic for 🥇unroll

@LORWEN108 @itsnotnelson10 imagine how incredible it would be to not sleep, not overthink, and not feel exhausted…these AI posts need grammar checks

@LORWEN108 Does this mean that all those development philosophies led by the West were wrong that emphasized massive growth and consumption? Can we go back from here now or should we?

@LORWEN108 We had a BIOWEAPON used against us! And we still have the ramifications of that throughout our body! Don’t overthink it more than that!

@LORWEN108 Thank you for the article. Just one constructive critique: you presented all the issues for having our 3 network hijacked but you did present any solutions :(
