Welcome to the Anxiety Coaches

Coaches podcast, a relaxing and informative show where we explore anxiety, panic and PTSD sharing how you can overcome them for life.

Aloha, welcome back to the Anxiety Coaches Podcast. In today's episode, I want to talk about

filling your own cup first in order to keep anxiety at bay. One of the things I see

a lot with people who are anxious or panicked is they tend to also be people who are doing too much

sometimes at the expense of their own well-being and that doesn't have to be major things. It can be

the small things you aren't doing for yourself. Little tiny things that keep you

happy and motivated and ready to keep going.

So I want to remind everybody that we can't serve

from an empty cup.

So being able to actually pay attention to filling our own cup first

can really help us to not get burned out, exhausted, and anxious.

So this is a good time to consider what you need for yourself,

to keep yourself on your best game. How do you stay on even keel? We're all

different so there's going to be different things for everyone but the idea of paying attention to it is something

we all need to focus on. We often look so much at what others need and we work our own schedules and behaviors to fit those needs.

We end up leaving ourselves depleted and vulnerable.

And by vulnerable, I mean vulnerable to the slings and arrows of life.

We never know when that next big wave is coming. So we are best to always

stay on our game as best we can of course. So by looking at it from a different

perspective we can more easily give ourselves permission to do what we need to do for our own well-being.

What I mean by that is not looking at it as being selfish.
