How To Embrace Anxiety To Get Unstuck Forever!
One of the things my clients learn to do in order to create permanent weight loss results is EMBRACE anxiety.
When we face situations with uncertain outcomes because they're new or different to us, it is completely normal to feel worried, nervous, & uneasy (what we've come to know as "anxiety"). We can:
1. ALLOW this uneasiness, knowing it's simply a signal telling us we're entering unchartered territory, and look forward to creating results we love using skill and creativity
2. OR, we can resist the nervous, anxious, and uneasiness that accompanies new & uncertain circumstances, thereby creating problems for ourselves including compulsive behavior and/ or panic behavior.
These are some ways to identify if you’re resisting or avoiding anxiety:
Do you avoid situations that are uncertain?
Do you avoid calculated risk?
Do you try something a few times and quit?
Do you avoid networking and meeting new people from diverse backgrounds?
Do you avoid conflict? Do you go along to get along? Do you only hang out with people who are like you?
Do you consume a lot of entertainment or media?
Do you convince yourself that success isn't all that it's cracked up to be and that you shouldn't bother pursuing it?
If this describes you, there’s nothing wrong with you! We’re programmed by culture to believe anxiety is bad. We’re prescribed medication to ease our anxiety. Many of us eat & drink to avoid feeling the slight bit anxious.
Anxiety isn't harmful to you unless you resist it. Anxiety is simply a signal alerting you to an uncertain situation. Many of life's best experiences involve uncertainty. That's when we get to use our brains in new & creative ways. The more we practice allowing anxiety, the more it becomes our friend and not our foe. At that point, we're able to build larger, more expansive lives!
