Anxiety is a Beast: Tips to manage

This week, I had a little getaway planned with a group retreat. Sounds lovely, yeah?

Well, there was a snowstorm a few days before leaving. I only knew two of the 40 people going. I also had to put a lot of work on pause.

This combination created it’s own little perfect storm. Driving anxiety, social anxiety, and workaholic guilt all collided in my nervous system.

As many of us do, I wrestle with angst. Throughout my life, I have worked very hard to build tools to manage it that I want to share with you here.

Schedule in Summer Stress Relief

I constantly have to remind myself to schedule in downtime and leave space between big efforts.

That’s why I am grateful to be grounding inward on Tuesdays with some quiet community scribble time.
