Keywords:
anxiety, goals, high functioning anxiety, coaching, stress, burnout, depression, interpretation, habits, anxiety, mindset, fear, breathwork, awareness, pause buttons
Some takeaways:
Anxiety can prevent individuals from reaching their goals by causing overthinking and perfectionism.
Coaching can help individuals recognize patterns and habits associated with anxiety and develop strategies to manage it.
Stress and anxiety have overlapping symptoms, but anxiety is often characterized by a habitual interpretation of stressors.
Understanding the difference between stress and anxiety can lead to more effective coping mechanisms.
There is an overlap between burnout, anxiety, and depression, and it is important to have a comprehensive understanding of these phenomena. Fear and excitement are similar in how they feel in our bodies; it's all about interpretation.
Breathwork, such as exhaling deeply and pausing, can help calm the nervous system and promote clear thinking.
Developing awareness of physical sensations and emotions without judgment is key to managing anxiety.
Creating pause buttons in daily life allows for moments of reflection and increased awareness.
Sound Bites
"I had been sick like a million times, but never actually sick."
"Anxiety is wishing for what you don't want."
"Anxiety is very much a feeling inside of your body."
"Fear and excitement are actually very, very similar in terms of how they feel in our bodies, but it's all about how we interpret it."
"Exhale until you're almost as flat as you can get yourself, like pancake style exhale, where you push more air out than it probably feels safe to do, and then breathe in and then pause."
"I want you to close your eyes and I want you to picture a time when you were anxious. Tell me about that time. So I'll have them close their eyes and they'll tell me, I'm like, you don't have to tell me all the gory details. I don't need to know. You don't have to go back into anything that's going to trip your trigger. I'm like, just tell me about what it feels like to be anxious, and like, talk to me about how your body feels."
There’s SO much BS out there when it comes to the phases of burnout. Let me DEBUNK these! Instead, let’s talk about how burnout progresses. I’ll introduce you to the concept of the high achiever burnout cycle, where high achievers experience burnout in a cyclical fashion. I’m also going to break down the stages of this cycle, starting with a well-intentioned busyness all the way to the burnout breakdown. We’ll talk about the importance of catching burnout early and making changes to prevent it from progressing further and where the easiest and most effective places to catch burnout and reverse it are! Enjoy!

Catching burnout early and making changes can prevent it from progressing to more severe stages.
