Anxiety often ignores logic.

You can tell yourself “I’m fine… nothing’s wrong…” yet your body refuses to settle.

This episode of The Shetland Resolve Calm-Cast explains why that happens, and introduces a simple physical anchoring technique that helps your nervous system find calm even when your mind is spiralling.

You’ll learn:

• why anxious brains don’t respond to reasoning

• why the body often reacts like a startled animal

• the science behind physical anchors

• how bringing finger and thumb together can settle your system

• how to practise the anchor anywhere, privately and calmly

• how the nervous system learns faster through sensation than thinking

• why hypnosis strengthens the anchor and makes calm more automatic

This episode has everything you need to get started.

And if you’d like to deepen the technique so the anchor becomes effortless and reliable, you can explore the Anchored Calm hypnotherapy audio inside the Shetland Resolve audio library

If you’ve ever started a new self-care habit with the best of intentions (journaling, meditation, drinking more water) and then somehow forgotten by day four, you’re not broken and not alone. You’re human.

In this episode, we look at why habits often fade, and how to make them last without relying on motivation or guilt.

You’ll learn:

• Why most habits fail even when you want them to work
• How “starting smaller than feels reasonable” is the real secret to momentum
• Simple ways to attach new habits to the routines you already have
• That kind consistency actually builds habits that feel natural, not forced.

Think of it as a calm, practical guide to turning your tiny self-care actions (peerie tweaks) into steady rhythms that stick.


Mentioned in this episode:
• Episode 2 – Simple Self-Care for Well-Being
• Free worksheet: Create Your Own Self-Care Plan
• The new Shetland Resolve Calm Collective Membership – a private and calm space with guided audios, practical tools, gentle accountability and optional community (link in show notes)

If your brain feels like it has 47 tabs open at once, this episode is for you.

I’ll share why overthinking happens, why it’s not your fault, and how the real issue is often the emotional build-up beneath the thoughts - not the thoughts themselves.

You’ll learn how to calm the emotional intensity, regain clarity and stop fighting your mind.

In this episode you’ll hear:
• Why it’s impossible (and unnecessary) to “stop thinking”
• How to lower the emotional volume beneath your thoughts
• Three gentle, practical resets you can use anywhere
• How to train your brain to return to calm, clear thinking

Your goal isn’t silence - it’s steadiness.
