Being Reactive vs. Proactive Around Anxiety

One of the first things I'm looking for with my new clients is how *reactive* vs. *proactive* they are - not only with anxiety, but with other emotions, with life in general. Today, I'm going to show you how to check in and see if you're being reactive...and the 4 steps you need to practice in order to be proactive instead.

One of the first things I’m looking for with new clients is where they’re REACTIVE in their lives vs. where they’re PROACTIVE. This is something that applies to anxiety, for sure, but we see this across the board where we want to make change, create new habits, and generally live into a higher version of ourselves.

In this episode of the podcast, I give you a few things to look for so that you can figure out how reactive you are in this moment…and then I go through four steps to help create PROACTIVATION (it’s a word) in your life.

When we are in a pattern of reacting to our emotions, anxiety and otherwise, we wind up playing whack-a-mole in response to everything that comes through our bodies. Shifting this towards being proactive opens up the possibility of creating whatever we want, rather than feeling stuck at the mercy of what life is throwing at us.

It’s the difference between playing constant defense and the ability to generate feelings, actions, and results on purpose. Basically, it’s pretty cool.
