Read it again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Women with high functioning anxiety learned to turn their anxiety into their fuel. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They didn't let it stop them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It turned them into competent, organized, and prepared adults. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In many ways, it may have kept them safe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There's safety in people pleasing and perfectionism, because our patriarchal society LOVES a woman who plays this role. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Women with high functioning anxiety are rewarded. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They have it all together. They reach their goals, they work hard, and while they may feel miserable and empty on the inside, they look "perfect" on the outside. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They have the job, the family, the house, the car, the clothes...everything they're "supposed to" have. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And it kind of sucks. (But of course, they don't ever say it!) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Why does it all suck? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Because it's not from a place of authenticity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's from a place of not being worthy. It's from a place of striving for safety and security above all else. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But anyone who has developed this way of living did it out of necessity. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was what they had to do to survive at the moment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It was a resilient response..done before they could learn to manage their anxiety in a different way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And there is a different way. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can flip the switch and learn to live more authentically and on your own terms, without the crazy fear. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's not easy. But it IS possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ DM me for a totally free coaching call today.

When and why do we all stop playing? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There's this quote by Alan Watts that I've been meditating on and it's this: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “This is the real secret of life -- to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There's truly something to being able to detach from outcomes and to work because it's FUN and because at the end of the day, life is all just one big (if scary!) experiment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I think so many of us forget that being silly and playful is in our nature. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We only allow those closest to us to see our playfulness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We think work has be serious. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And we take this seriousness into our adult lives like it's mandated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And it kills our spirits little by little, day by day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Have you ever met someone who never seems stressed? Who never seems to take much personally? Who can laugh in the face of tremendous challenges? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These are the folks who've figured out that all we truly have is the present moment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is no past. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is no future. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There is now. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And I don't know about you. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But if now is all I have, I want it to be fun. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ As you're heading into your Monday, what could you do today to make life fun? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let me know in the comments! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #spiritual #awakening #spiritualawakening #meditation #lawofattraction #quantumphysics #manifesting #theuniversehasyourback #everythingisfigureoutable #soulgrowth #soulwisdom #higherself #lightworker #starseed #oldsoul #wisdom #synchronicity #vision #dreams #affirmation #metaphysics #esoteric #spiritguides #powerofthought #lawofpositivism #manifestingmagic #trusttheuniverse #dailymotivation #spiritualbusiness #motivationalquotes

What a powerful proverb, right?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's very easy to tell ourselves it's too late.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For years I was a Career Coach for college students, and practically every day I'd hear, "I can't change my mind now."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They thought too much effort had been put in.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They thought they couldn't possibly switch their path.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They were scared of starting over.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ These were usually students who were anywhere from 20 to 22 years old.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ They thought they were stuck on the path they'd chosen at 18.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ When they still had their ENTIRE CAREERS in front of them.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Think about that.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And now consider....⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you're 30 and work to the "normal" retirement age of 65...you have only worked an average of 8-12 years full time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You will likely be working 30 more years - almost 3 times over the time you've seen working so far.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Let that sink in.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And in case you're 40, or 50, or 60, I want you to consider how long you could be alive.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The currently life expectancy of a woman in the US is ~79 years old.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you're 40, you're just half-way. You still have an entire HALF OF YOUR LIFE left to live.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's never too late to turn back and try something new.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don't let your sneaky, scared-of-risk brain try to tell you different.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can make a change any day, at any age, no matter how far down the wrong road you've gone already.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #believeit #yougotthisgirl #liveafulllife #womeninbiz #anxietycoach #mindsetcoach #buildabetteryou #beabetterhuman #livethebestlife #liveyourpurpose #justbreathe #mindsetmatters #mindsetcreator #believeitachieveit #youllseeitwhenyoubelieveit #empoweringwomen #mindsetcoaching #lifecoachingforwomen #liveinyourpurpose #copingskills #anxietyrecovery #chooseyourpath

Most of us live the majority of our lives never examining the beliefs and stories we live our lives by. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ The stories that drive our decisions, create our habits, and keep us stuck. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We cling to these beliefs and stories because they keep us so safe. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our brains LOVE these stories -- they've kept you alive so far, right? Why make a change when you've survived so long? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ☝️That's how your primitive brain thinks: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Stay safe at all costs." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And until you're ready to dig deep and look at what's been driving your behavior for most of your life, you will keep repeating the same patterns. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You will remain stuck. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's not easy or everyone would do it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But if you want transformation, this kind of uncovering and digging is required. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Changing habits and behaviors without changing the underlying causes is typically short lived. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Sometimes it sticks - but that's because your behavior changes your beliefs after the fact - which is usually a much harder path than starting the other way around. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If you want to start uncovering and changing your beliefs, coaching is a great start. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Wondering, "Why not therapy?" ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here's the difference: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Therapy tends to dig into the "why" behind the stories. It's powerful, but different. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Coaching digs into the stories and beliefs themselves and helps you rewrite them and then take powerful action forward to LIVE them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Are you ready to direct your fate in 2020? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #powerofthoughts #beliefs #affirmation #powerofmind #intuitivelifecoach #selflovejourney #abundantlife #highvibetribe #spiritjunkies #mindshift #meditateeverydamnday #anxiousliving #manifestlove #changemindset #anxietycoach #lawoftheuniverse #shadowandlight #soulpurpose #spiritualthoughts #spiritualpath #sacredfeminine #meditatedaily #energywork #lookwithin #howtomanifest #intuitivehealer #abundancemindset #manifestationbabechallenge #askbelievereceive #lifecoachforwomen

What's your intention for the New Year? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I have spent the last couple of weeks working through the @cultivatewhatmatters planner, so I can live 2020 with intention and focus. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I can allow the biggest values and feelings I crave to show up in my life every single day. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ So I can spend more time having fun, and less time striving for more, more, more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Some of my mantras for 2020: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "I can achieve my goals with ease." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Slow down to go fast." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ "Less is more." ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And my word of the year is SPACE. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Space to slow down and be present. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Holding space for my loved ones, my clients, and myself. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Remembering: we are ALL made of stars. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Know that you don't have to do any of this work now. You can do it ANY TIME YOU WANT. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's amazing that we can create what we want for our lives AT ANY TIME. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Maybe this is the year you want to better manage your anxiety: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Get over people pleasing. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Do what scares you most. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This could be your year, if you decide it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now let me know: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What's your word or mantra for the year? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Can't wait to hear! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #newyear2020 #2020vision #wordoftheyear #muacaves #anxietycoach #mindsetcoach #anxietyrelief #anxietyproblems #wordoftheyear2020 #selflove #anxietylife #anxietyhelp #anxietyrecovery #anxietyproblems #anxietytips #anxietyfree #anxietyawareness #anxietysupport #anxietymanagement #anxietyeducation #anxietyanddepression #livingwithanxiety #AnxietyIsReal #enneagram3 #enneagram1 #enneagram6 #overcominganxiety #anxietyattack #anxietyfighter #anxietywarrior
