Perseverance and Grit: How High-Functioning Anxiety Interferes with Resilience to Push through and Finish What You Start

Aloha everyone. Welcome to Anxiety Ease Podcast Episode 16. Let’s talk about perseverance and what that means when your high functioning anxiety interferes with that, which is a real thing, isn't it? There's just so many things that happen in people's lives and they think, okay, “what's that turning point that I'm not going to give up?”  When do you ACTUALLY decide you are going to finish what you start?When you think about giving up, when is it that your anxiety says, “oh no, go back to being comfortable, going back to being miserable, because that's where you're safe”. But perseverance is referred to as moxie, it's having grit. It's the stick-to-it-ness. And therein lies probably some of the issues with those humans with high functioning anxiety because really, the anxiety wants to keep you safe. It doesn't want you to venture out and take a chance that things might not work out in the future. Or be different. Or better. That’s too much of a risk. To persevere means you have the ability to follow your dreams and go after these goals while you're managing and overcoming the setbacks failures and obstacles that you possibly could encounter.Enjoy today's episode!Wishing you ease & grace,Dr. Lisa HartwellP.S.
