One of the most valuable things we, as people who tend towards anxiety, can learn to do is regulate our nervous systems.
Why?
Feeling anxious ups the adrenaline and cortisol in your system. And you become a bit of a pressure cooker, constantly turning up the volume with more to-do lists, more people-pleasing, and more perfectionism…
Women struggle with anxiety for a handful of reasons, but one of the biggies is a lack of confidence.
We treat confidence like we got lucky and have it, or don't. That it's something we may magically feel someday down the road, but can't right now. That it's on the opposite end of the emotional spectrum from anxiety...meaning: we can either feel anxious OR confident, but certainly not both…
We are constantly making decisions: this or that? In or out? Option A or option B? And I'd like to consider the opportunity cost of one of these (emotional) decisions in this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast.
Specifically: what do we give up when we "choose" (however subconsciously) anxiety? What is the opportunity cost of anxiety?…
This week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast is one that cuts straight to the heart of *so much* of the anxiety that we create for ourselves...

And instead of wishing you a "happy new year" I'm just going to say: "new year!" Because really, it doesn't have to be happy. Or easy. Or peaceful. Or certain. If we've learned anything the past 2 years, we've learned to adjust our expectations of what might happen. So I'm going to just stick to the facts here: new year to you!…
I've found, over years of talking to people about how they're feeling (I'm always the wallflower at a party, in a corner with one other person talking about the *big* stuff...I can't do the small talk that most get-togethers require) that not everyone uses the word "anxiety" to describe this experience…
