Summary
Oftentimes, as all of your dreams are coming true, it can actually be one of the most uncomfortable seasons of your life. I don't think people talk about this paradox enough, and I want you to know that even if things are seemingly going to plan, it's completely normal to feel overwhelmed and anxious. I'm sharing a simple practice that I use when I'm coming up against big emotions and my way of creating some clarity around my next action step. Listen in as I guide you through a breathing exercise that will help you develop your intuition.
In this episode we talk about:
- What helps me put my stress or anxiety into perspective
- Understanding where your overwhelm stems from
- Figuring out who you can lean on to shift out of anxious thought patterns
- Realizing that you can't avoid hard feelings, but you can control how long you sit in them
