The Future Belongs to Creators Dealing With Anxiety: Permission to Not Be on Your “A” Game During Challenging Times
Uncertainty, loss, and shifts in our daily life can create new forms of anxiety that we haven’t experienced before. Understanding that life is different now and will be different for the foreseeable future comes with its own set of challenges.
Acknowledging your emotions and feelings is an important first step. It allows you to trace it back to the reasons why you feel that way. All of these steps can help you better deal with anxiety while also allowing you to be kind to yourself. It’s important to realize that it’s ok to not be at the top of your game right now.
In this episode, we dig into ways you can better cope with anxiety in challenging times and steps you can take to move forward.
Main Takeaways
- It’s important to fully understand the situation so you can embrace the reality. It can be painful but approach it one day at a time.
- Emotional awareness is critical. Something as simple as ‘Red, Yellow, Green’ can put a name to how you’re feeling, which makes it easier to deal with.
- Try not to attach your self worth to productivity or output. Good days will be great, and bad days will be bad.
- Lower the bar for what it means to show up every day. Make it something manageable and achievable.
- Spend time doing things that bring you joy and focus on the habits you can control.
