Experiencing Everyday Anxiety

Anxiety is something we all encounter, to varying degrees, at one point or another.  It is a natural and normal response to feeling overwhelmed by all that life is throwing your way. 

It can feel like a state of fear, worry, or uneasiness and its symptoms affect us on every level - physiological, psychological, and behavioral.  Anxiety tends to come up for people when they do not feel they are capable of handling whatever it is that they are facing.

People differ in how vulnerable they feel in different situations: this can be influenced by past experiences, as well as by the beliefs and attitudes they hold about these situations.

​The experience of anxiety can range from mild uneasiness and worry to severe panic. At a reasonable level, short bursts of anxiety can motivate us and enhance our performance, but if anxiety becomes too severe or chronic, it can become debilitating.
It's important to keep in mind that anxiety is entirely normal. Everyone feels anxious when they are in a stressful situation where they feel vulnerable, so being anxious does not mean that you are ‘weak’ or ‘abnormal’.
​Signs that anxiety is present in your life:

Anxiety typically involves an emotional component (e.g. fear, nervousness), a physiological component (e.g. fast breathing, trembling, dry mouth, heart racing, stomach churning) and a cognitive component (frightening or negative thoughts, e.g. I’m going to fail/make a fool of myself/lose control).

​These can then affect our behavior, for example by putting off or stopping work, avoiding people or situations, not sleeping, drinking too much or taking substances to ease our anxiety.

Do any of these strike a chord?  
How Coaching can Help:
  • learn about what's going on when anxiety is happening
  • explore the areas that tend to bring up anxiety for you, through a new lens
  • learn and practice active coping strategies to reduce stress and promote relaxation
  • work with negative and fear-based self-talk
  • explore the link between thinking and emotion

​Learn about Emotional Intelligence - by developing this key skill, you will have a better understanding of your emotions and how to effectively manage them so that they're working for you, instead of against you.

Coaching provides support and guidance around anxiety and developing healthy coping strategies.

Bobbi Beuree, Coach + Facilitator

Navigating some significant challenges in my life took me to a deep place where I could learn more about myself, life, and the people and world around me.  I'm so grateful that, through coaching, I get to share what I've learned with others, while helping them to make sense of their own life experience.

Like so many others, I know what it's like to feel anxious, and hopeless, lost and defeated.  And I also know what it's like to feel energized, excited, and inspired! I've come to know on a deep level that the latter is our true nature.  But it it is often covered up by our limiting beliefs, destructive thinking patterns, unconscious emotional reactions, habits, and more.

I've spent the last 15 years working with people, helping them to grow in self-awareness, uncover their full potential, and  create lives that are full, engaged, and meaningful.  It is always so rewarding to watch clients reach powerful new insights around what they are capable of!
