Anxiety is a symptom.
Anxiety is the language of your body, asking you to listen.
It’s also high-functioning - wearing a game face and lipstick smile for the outside world but behind closed doors is a different matter.
It has a cost. It might be panic attacks, it might also be:
Over-committing and people-pleasing.
Being hyper-vigilant to other people’s needs and moods.
Micro-managing, being overly-independent and trying to control ALL the things.
Seeking validation from other people and external ‘things’.
Being unable to switch off, constantly ‘on’ and in avoidance of stopping for fear of “what now?”.
“I have to…:
It has its opposing aspect:
Feeling robotic and going through the motions
Apathy and a desire to hide away.
“I can’t…”
In a nutshell, an absence - missing the moments in life while you're living in your head. I speak from experience.
Notice the voice that says this doesn’t fit anymore.
First off, if this is you - I hear you, friend. I’ve been there (you can read more on that here). Be gentle with yourself.
Breathe in. Breathe out.
Your body is speaking to you. It is trying to keep you safe. Your nervous system needs a little nurturing (or ‘regulation’ as they say in scientific speak).
Trust me that I know tuning in to your body can feel daunting. But it’s within the body - the somatic sense - that you can begin to feel safety, to feel a sense of balance. From a state of sattva (balance) you can begin to experience an expansive, juicy life. Deep down, you know it’s meant for you too.
You already have within you all you need. My hope is to simply guide you - back to your body, back to your breath, back to wholeness.
