Summary

In this episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I address a heartfelt message from a listener struggling with overwhelming anxiety and self-doubt. Their situation is not unique; many people experience similar feelings as they navigate their anxiety journey. I delve into the importance of trusting oneself, particularly in moments where decision-making feels paralyzing and anxiety seems insurmountable.


Starting with the listener's expression of frustration—waking up feeling exhausted and anxious, despite attempts to find calm through meditation—I break down the message into manageable pieces. I underscore that a tough day, especially one fueled by a lack of restful sleep, is a reality many face. Instead of battling the day's challenges, I encourage embracing them, acknowledging fatigue while allowing anxiety to accompany us without letting it define our day.


As the listener grapples with racing thoughts about the future, I draw attention to the futility of trying to force these thoughts away. It’s more productive to foster curiosity about them and redirect focus to the present moment. By practicing mindfulness—whether through a simple breath or by engaging with our surroundings—we can ground ourselves in the now, freeing ourselves from the cyclic worry that anxiety often brings.

Welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches podcast.

0:27.7

I'm your host and coach, Gina Ryan,

0:30.4

and I am so happy to be with you again today

0:34.2

as together we can consider the many ways to bring your mind and body back to its

0:40.6

natural peace and calm.

0:43.4

In today's episode, I want to talk about a message that I got and my response to not only the

0:53.7

person who sent the message, but to everybody out there, because I think

0:57.4

this is pretty common. I hear this a lot in different words from different people. So the point

1:04.2

I want to get across is being able to trust yourself as you are moving through this anxiety journey, as you are clearing your

1:13.7

anxiety, as you are beginning to feel better and getting your health back, want you to trust

1:21.3

your decisions. So let's talk a little bit about that today. The note that I received says, I'm having a really rough day

1:30.8

today, woke up feeling like I hadn't slept at all. I'm both exhausted and anxious. I've listened to

1:38.7

some guided meditations and did the breathing exercises, but even that didn't calm me down. I'm trying to stop thinking

1:48.3

about the future, but my mind is constantly going back to that, everything from how I will get

1:54.7

through tomorrow to years from now. I have so many decisions to make, and I don't feel up to making even the smallest

2:02.9

decision right now. I'm blaming myself for not doing enough to get better over the past four

2:09.7

years that I've been struggling so much with depression and anxiety. I'm going to dinner and a play

2:16.9

with a former co-worker tonight, but even the thought of

2:21.5

driving alone to her house and then back home and how I'll feel tomorrow morning is scary. I know

there are many tools here, and I'm starting to slowly put some of them into practice, but I'm afraid that I've
