26. The one thing you can do NOW to stop struggling with obsessing over a specific worry or fear

Do you catch yourself struggling with a cycle of fear and overwhelm? This could look like you making your number one fear or worry your number the thing you put your attention on first. So, for example, are you worrying about an upcoming deadline at work - to the point where you obsess about it all day, all evening, all weekend, whether you’re at work or not? Or maybe your doctor orders testing to investigate some ailment you’re having, and then you worry night and day about the test results until you get them. You drone on about it to whoever will listen, watch your phone obsessively for a call from your doctor, and Google the symptoms you’re having - effectively working yourself up even more than you were already? Do you constantly cater to your number one fear or worry, to the point of obsessing about it? If so, then this episode is for you. I hope this episode helps you, friend! Wishing you freedom to live the life you want, despite anxiety, Katy P.S. Would you please leave me a podcast review on Apple podcasts?

Om Podcasten

Welcome to “Hi I’m Anxious.” Are you an over-functioning, high-achieving, over-thinking perfectionist but an amazing woman who also suffers incessantly with anxiety? You are not alone. Hi I’m Katy Dahl and I am an HR professional, business owner, entrepreneur, wife, and mom and I have suffered from anxiety for what seems like forever. For as long as I can remember, anxiety has been part of my life. It’s the ugly little friend that rears its head at the time that is most inconvenient… when I want to be most present with my family, at the high pressure business meeting, when I am awake in bed at night worrying instead of sleeping. Anxiety has crept into otherwise perfect moments in my life and stolen that joy from me. l I was recently diagnosed with anxiety and I found that there were some tools for managing it. I don’t think I’ll ever be free from anxiety, but now I am equipped to overcome it and enjoy life despite it. Together, on this podcast, we’re going to work through mind management, physical health, and getting the support we need. We’re going to hear from experts, therapists, and psychologists, and we’re going to dive into the tools you can use so you can go from “Hi I’m Anxious” to “Hi I’m way less anxious.” So put down that third cup of coffee, swap it for some lemon water, we’re about to get this thing under control.
