At the beginning of a new year, we tend to gravitate towards the subject of change 🦋

.

Sometimes it is not in one single moment we realise we have been stuck. Sometimes single fragments come to light one by one until one day there is enough there for us to see what is in front of us. 🧩

.

Feelings of unease, dissatisfaction, sadness
or boredom can be important markers that it might be time to make a change. X marks the spot ❌

.

If this resonates with you, here are a few points for reflection:

🔑 Is avoiding something you fear keeping you locked in a pattern that is making you unhappy?

👨‍❤️‍👨 how is the balance in your important relationships? Are you giving a lot more than you receive?

❤️ What tone do you take with yourself? Is there room for more self-compassion? Sometimes the most powerful change is a shift in attitude.

🚧 what opportunities might you see if you could release old or outdated beliefs?

As we head into what can be an intense and emotional few days, here are a few tips for anyone struggling with overwhelm

.

🎄 Beware comparison, and remember no one’s Christmas is perfect.

.

🦠 Right now, last-minute changes can emerge at any moment. Don’t try to block out difficult emotions. Naming and sitting with uncertainty, disappointment or anxiety will help you regulate.

.

🧘 We all have different levels of tolerance for different things. Take a break if you need one.
.

🚦Identify what you can control and what is beyond your control.

.

⏰ Remember these days will pass.

.

Wherever you are and whatever your circumstances, may you have some peace in the days ahead 🙏🏻

Having read The Psychologist since I was an undergraduate, I was thrilled to be invited to have a Q&A for the magazine with Annie Brookman-Byrne. 💜

.

My interest in anxiety stems from my own life-long experience of social anxiety, which affects me to this day.

.

In this interview I shared my top strategy for coping with my own anxiety 😄

.

A snippet from the interview appears in this month’s magazine, and the full Q&A is published on line. Check it out via the link in my bio 👀

When anxiety grips us, it can escalate quickly. ‼️

.

We get caught up with our own anxious thoughts, supercharged by the physical affects of anxiety. These feed off each other, pulling us into a building anxiety storm🌪

.

One way of stepping out of the storm- or at least interrupting its escalation - is to stop for a moment and observe what is happening. 👀

.

Internally, this can sound like a change from “I can’t cope, I am out of control” to “OK, I am having lots of anxious thoughts right now”. 👈🏼

.

It is not about trying to avoid or escape anxiety. It is about finding ways to sit WITH anxiety. 🧘🏼‍♀️

.

That mental gear shift can be massive for living better with anxiety. 💡

.

For more tips and techniques for managing anxiety, check out my book How to Help Someone with Anxiety. 📚
