This Year, Turn Anxiety Into Self-Trust
Do you hear that? It’s the quiet of a new year ready to be filled.
While we don’t always get to choose all of our daily experiences — we’re met with the unexpected more often than not — we do get to decide how we show up in those instances. Like, when your mind starts racing, do you jump on the Anxiety Train or do you instead choose to paddle a boat over calmer waters, slowly but surely?
I know that roadblock after roadblock of unforeseen disappointment or heartache can make even the steadiest heart feel unsettled. (It’d be strange if it didn’t!) My wish for you isn’t to ignore those pangs, but instead that you seek the tools, resources, and support that remind you that you can survive any feeling, circumstance, or pivot.
I’ve seen how transformative the required pI keep repeating the importance of self-trust because it’s that same steadiness in your gut that will allow you to take steps in the right direction, even when it’s hard. And if the past few years have taught us anything, it’s that days can get hard.
There’s fear associated with unknowns, new opportunities, or changing day-to-day realities, but there’s also excitement for all the roles and realities you could potentially grow into.
Those new shoots of growth and bright flowers of hope spring up right from under the same ground that may have once felt like quicksand.

How saying farewell can be a lesson in strength and love
Oftentimes, we can’t have a separate work and a separate life; both overlap in essential ways. Recently, our lives were met with a significant loss and to paraphrase my husband’s words, it was in bearing witness to the pain that we were profoundly moved by how deeply we loved.
Process and anxiety can go hand in hand.
Actually, it’s safe to say that the
only thing that can calm anxiety is
some type of process. Some of us
turn to meditation, but when we
know that our anxiety is anchored
in our work, a calming resume
process is key.
You resume can get you more than just a job.
Did you know you can (and should) use your resume to secure a seat on a Board of Directors? Your resume, when it’s telling the right stories, speaks to your transferable skills and how those same skills can help support an organization no matter the seat you’re taking.
What investments are you making in yourself this year?
I asked myself this same question last year and am so glad I did. This question was the impetus behind where I am now — deeply in love with my daily work and the clients I get to support. It may trigger fear at first, but know that you’re on the right path when you’re asking the hard questions.
