I experience anxiety pretty frequently. I can get anxious that I’m not doing enough, that I’m doing too much, that the house isn’t clean enough, that I have a full week of coaching and meetings, that I don’t have a full week of coaching and meetings AND SO MUCH MORE!

I feel it in my chest. My breath becomes shallow and I’m breathing in my upper chest only and not into my belly. It gets real tight. Sometimes I do something to ease it - dance, listen to music, write the shit out that’s in my head, talk it out to Steve or just leave it alone and get on with my day with it there.

I get anxious due to my beliefs and stories created by my ego that is never fking satisfied with now life “is”, or how life is changing or ANYTHING really! It finds something about me to pick on, my relationship to pick on, my business to pick on. As I move forward in life, it focuses on all that could go wrong. When I’m in my manifested reality, it wants the old life. If I stay still for a moment, it tells me I ain’t doing enough.

There is just no winning with it!!

So I know it’s there, doing it’s best to create angst and suck me into the angst. That’s where I’m most proud. The sucking in of the anxiety is no longer there. I feel it, I observe it and I choose what is best to do next. There is freedom in allowing anxiety to come up, be there and to powerfully choose what do to next.
