  • Summary

  • What’s worse: the anticipation, being in a situation or overanalyzing it afterwards? We all react differently to things that give us anxiety. Lately, Zoom has given us its own kind of social anxiety, which sucks since both  of us are on Zoom all the time.

    Sometimes because we just have to show up for other people, and sometimes because we genuinely want to get through our "stuff," both of us use self-coaching to talk ourselves off the ledge, so to speak. 

    In this episode, we share recent experiences that have freaked us out a bit and how (eventually!) we've managed to get through them. 

    But we're not experts. We're just two people who happen to know a bit about coaching and we've applied it to help ourselves. We're here to share so that hopefully you, dear listener, can get some benefit and perhaps start reflecting a bit more yourself. 

    This week's reflection for our listeners:

    The next time you notice yourself being anxious, stop and ask yourself:

    • What am I feeling in my body right now?
    • What is it that I'm resisting?
    • Do I need to step away or is it OK to proceed?
    • Social anxiety can feel like others are judging you, but it’s really you judging yourself. What do you need in that moment to feel accepted by yourself?

    And if you can't identify anxiety as it happens, that's OK. Try to think back to a moment when you now realize that anxiety affected you and talk to yourself about the questions above. 

    If you want to share any insights from your reflections, please connect with us on Instagram and let us know. We'd love to hear from you.
