The way we label our experiences can significantly influence our emotional responses. Anxiety and excitement share the same physiological roots, yet our breath can shift the narrative. By fostering self-compassion rather than shame, we open ourselves to positive change and growth. Embracing what we love about ourselves allows us to transform areas we wish to improve.In this clip

In the practice described in the episode The Science of "Self" with Dr. Jud Brewer | Being Well Podcast and the clip Navigating Self-Perception, if a person is instructed to try and feel positive emotions like joy, happiness, and excitement, is it fair to say that during the initial attempts to keep the body calm using breathwork when negative beliefs or thoughts arise, and while redirecting focus to the intention of becoming a famous singer, the person will probably only feel frustration and anxiety as the brain begins to adapt to this new belief and dissociate from the negative default thoughts?

In the episode 3 Popular Truths that Keep You Stuck With Michael Griswold and the clip Embracing the Paradox, as well as in episode 294: The new science of dealing with anxiety | Jud Brewer, M.D., Ph.D., if a person is instructed to try and feel positive emotions like joy, happiness, and excitement during the initial attempts to keep the body calm using breathwork when negative beliefs or thoughts arise, and while redirecting focus to the intention of becoming a famous singer, will they probably only feel frustration and anxiety as the brain begins to adapt to this new belief and dissociate from the negative default thoughts? Moreover, only after consistent practice, when the brain has started to embrace the new thought—seeing the person as a famous singer—would they be able to feel those emotions of joy, happiness, and gratitude? Is it also possible to feel some of these positive emotions in the early stages while engaging in neuroplasticity, even amidst feelings of anxiety and frustration? Can one experience both positive and negative feelings simultaneously in the beginning?
