Anxiety. It plagues many women. If you’re dealing with high functioning anxiety, know that you aren’t alone. It is chronic and it won’t go away...and there are ways to manage it so you don’t feel like every system is overloaded and overwhelming!

Your inner critic is a powerful voice. If you haven’t done a lot of work to actually talk to her and name her, it’s hard to hear anything but harsh, negative feedback. It doesn’t have to be this way, though, and naming and healing your inner critic can help you begin the process of coming back to yourself and your inner wisdom.

The holidays are fast approaching and that possibly means you’ll be around your family or people you need to be sure to protect your energy. Learning to protect it (and then actually following through on that!) is a huge topic for women with high functioning anxiety.

These days I find myself having a lot of squirrel moments – as the fear and worry over school, the virus, movements, the presidential race, quarantine….. The list goes on.  But, when I saw the facebook meme that said “The Lost Year” with ways to cope with all this lost time, I felt an internal response. A  “Not for me” kind of reaction. 

When I get to 2030, I don’t want to just say “remember that one year….” At this point, I don’t know what is in store for us any year.  But, then again, did I ever?

I first heard this from a coach, and now I see it  all the time.  It is so true – where your attention goes, your energy flows.  

Attention is a very powerful thing.  This summer, my attention has been all over the place. And that can drain the energy quick!  One thing that really kept me grounded was paying ATTENTION to some saboteurs and then some solutions in the group.  Do you remember?
