Is Anxiety Keeping Me from Performing at My Best?

The connection between mind and body often runs deeper than we realize in our day-to-day lives. Racing heart, chest pain, sweaty palms, obsessive or racing thoughts, constant worry, stomach aches, digestive issues, headaches, insomnia, low energy, depression, feelings of worthlessness, sadness, loneliness, and isolation—these are just a few of the many symptoms of anxiety and fear.

​

Do you see the connection between physical symptoms and emotional stress? Our mind is incredibly powerful over our body, which is why improving the mind-body connection is essential.

​

Do any of these symptoms sound familiar? Are they keeping you from performing at your best? Are they triggering unhealthy coping mechanisms like:

• Disordered or emotional eating?

• Loss of motivation or drive?

• Avoidance or difficulty completing tasks?

• Withdrawing from friends and family?

• Conflict in close relationships?

Yes, It’s Okay to Live in the Grey Area

Fear often pushes us toward perfectionism. We may shut down, isolate, or hold ourselves back when we’re afraid of making mistakes. The belief that we must be perfect to succeed is exhausting—and simply not true.

​

Together, we’ll work on embracing imperfection and developing healthier, more flexible thinking. I’ll help you learn how to use your perfectionism in a way that supports you, not hinders you—so you can learn to live a little more in the grey area, where growth and self-acceptance thrive.
