Hi I’m Anxious - Over-functioning, anxiety management, high achieving women, anxiety, overthinking, perfectionism

30. Is trying to control a go to strategy to cope with your anxiety? Three ways you can let go and find relief from anxiety, panic, and overwhelm.

Do you catch yourself using control as a way to manage your anxiety?  
 
My anxious brain likes to tell me lies.  I catch all kinds of these lies like: 
If I don’t do it, it won’t be done right.
I can’t ask for help because I should be able to handle this myself.
I’ll rest after I take care of everything on my to-do list.
If I give in to this person on this one thing, then they’ll run all over me all the time.
 
What happens next, anxious friend, after your anxious brain tells you lies like these?  Does it try to solve these problems, typically by offering use of unhelpful coping mechanisms, like controlling behavior?  
 
If this resonates with you, this episode is for you.
 
I hope this episode helps you, friend!
 
Wishing you freedom to live the life you want, despite anxiety,
 
Katy

26. The one thing you can do NOW to stop struggling with obsessing over a specific worry or fear

Do you catch yourself struggling with a cycle of fear and overwhelm?  This could look like you making your number one fear or worry your number the thing you put your attention on first.  So, for example, are you worrying about an upcoming deadline at work - to the point where you obsess about it all day, all evening, all weekend, whether you’re at work or not? Or maybe your doctor orders testing to investigate some ailment you’re having, and then you worry night and day about the test results until you get them.  You drone on about it to whoever will listen, watch your phone obsessively for a call from your doctor, and Google the symptoms you’re having - effectively working yourself up even more than you were already? 
 
Do you constantly cater to your number one fear or worry, to the point of obsessing about it?  If so, then this episode is for you.
 
I hope this episode helps you, friend!

21. Did something terrible happen? How to use one simple effective tool to help come back from an anxiety or panic producing stressful experience

Has something really upsetting or icky happened to you, something that put you into fight, flight, or freeze mode - and seemed to stop or derail you from what you wanted to be doing instead? I’ve been working on incorporating more grounding body-focused work into my repertoire of tools to help combat anxiety.  The past 6 months or so, I’ve been utilizing some somatic or body-based techniques or tools to do this.  And I’ve found this to be a really helpful tool in some situations because I do feel better after using them.
