I've often heard people say that "work-life balance" is a myth, or that balance in general is a myth. To this, I wholeheartedly disagree. Not only do I believe that balance is NOT a myth, but I believe that balance is essential. I just believe that there is more nuance within balance than those who think it's not possible recognize. So let's talk all about that today in part 3 of the calm & ambitious series: how to create balance as a high-achiever.

When I used to work at a community mental health agency with children and adolescents, I often taught them about the importance of having a "toolbox" of coping skills when it comes to managing anxiety and depression. This is also true for high-functioning anxiety, and is so important because in moments of increased stress and anxiety (or decreased mood) is when it's often the most difficult to access the tools that will help you feel better. And when you have a toolbox of techniques and tools at the ready, you don't even have to think about it. You will know what to do to feel better and manage the moments of overwhelm, anxiety, and stress that come up. In this episode I will share 7 techniques to feel calm and grounded that you can add to your self-care toolbox.

By far, the #1 struggle I hear from people struggling with high-functioning anxiety is overthinking. That's because the background chatter of thoughts and over-analysis of situations, future and past, can be uncomfortable and make it difficult to feel calm and slow down. That's when it's important to take a step back and declutter your mind from all the thoughts, worries, fears, and difficult emotions that are taking up space from within, and preventing you from being present in your life and feeling calm. Check out this episode to learn how to declutter your mind and stop overthinking when you struggle with high-functioning anxiety. This is the Calm & Ambitious series: Part 1.
