Wake Up Call

003: My Anxiety Journey + What I Learned From It

Listen Later

Today’s episode is definitely a vulnerable one. I’m sharing my raw, honest anxiety journey from feeling fearful of leaving my house, to starting this podcast. I’m sharing my key learnings, why anxiety ended up being such a gift, and what I wish someone had told me when I was going through it.

Disclaimer: I am not a doctor, therapist, or any sort of medical professional. I am simply sharing my experience and what I learned from it all.

Some key learnings I share in this episode are:

  • If your body is telling you it’s tired, don’t push through that exhaustion. Get good sleep and implement a strong night routine.
  • Learn to identify and recognize your true feelings beyond “happy” and “sad.” Check out this emotion wheel to help you: https://www.healthline.com/health/emotion-wheel
  • Be more conscious of the content you’re consuming. If you’re filling your head with content that’s mind-numbing (endless hours of Netflix) or fear-based (even five minutes of the news), try replacing that with something that might fuel your growth, like reading or listening to a podcast. (You’re off to a great start if you’re reading this!)

    Welcome to the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins (that’s me!). I work in corporate sales by day and am a personal development guru and Life Coach by night. My goal in this podcast is to share valuable and actionable tips on what I call the “Core Four” - mindfulness, movement, habits, and growth - so you can build a life that feels true to you. I will be interviewing people who have had a “wake up call” that their good-on-paper life wasn’t lighting them up, and what they did to change that. Join us every week for a new episode of the Wake Up Call Podcast with Alicia Hopkins!
