Heart Anxiety: Acting with Belief, Not Fear.

If you struggle with heart anxiety (hello, fellow cardiophobia warrior!), you know how it dominates your life. But here’s the truth: acceptance isn’t about changing your beliefs—it’s about changing your behavior.

You must act as though your heart is fine. This means no Googling symptoms, no monitoring with smartwatches or pulse checks, and no panicking when symptoms arise. Keep cooking, stay in bed, or continue what you were doing. Why? Because doing nothing sends a powerful message to your brain: “This is okay. I am okay.”

And remember, this process takes time. Consistent actions, combined with the medical assurance you’ve already received, will slowly rebuild your trust in your heart. The key is perseverance and patience.

Oh, and take off the smartwatch. Seriously, it’s not about the steps—you’re just monitoring your heart. Let’s be honest. 😉
