Summary
Many people are stuck in the hustle of growing their business and trying to reach their next goal to the point that they can’t take a break or rest without being plagued with an impulse to respond to messages, write another post, or message another person. They think that drive is what is motivating them to hit the next goal, but it’s likely high-functioning anxiety.
Kristen shares her experience of discovering that she had high-functioning anxiety and that her ambition was being fueled by restlessness and an inability to manage her thoughts about her business when she was resting.
- Why most people don’t identify as being ‘anxious’
- Different types of anxiety
- Why ambition and hustle are typically related to the inability to rest
- The ‘red flag’ phrases to spot that likely mean you’re in ambitious anxiety
- Why your brain dramatizes and catastrophizes what will happen to your business if you take a break
- The 2 things you’re not managing if you’re in anxious energy/restlessness
- The conditioning cycle we’ve bought into when we have big goals
- 3 tips on how to improve your ambitious anxiety
There’s nothing wrong with being ambitious and wanting to create big success in your business, but when it’s at the detriment of your physical and mental well-being, it defeats the whole purpose. We need to stop validating the thought that your business only grows if you are giving it 100% of your time and energy.
