Overcoming Challenges of Writing a book about High Functioning Anxiety: Using Pivot as a gentler way of thinking

This is episode 018 of the Anxiety Ease podcast. I wanted to share what it's like to have high functioning anxiety while writing a book about high functioning anxiety! Yes, it’s true. I felt it the entire month of March and I pushed through and did what I wanted to do even with experiencing high functioning anxiety. I want to encourage you to learn from my experience of writing my next book (due out in August 2023) about high functioning anxiety and help you learn what choices we may all be falling back on when our high functioning anxiety is at an all-time high. This time, it was about focusing on the concept of Pivot, which means we just look at something as a shift, a small shift in our current trajectory. This helps our anxious brains accept what is to come down the road without feeling frozen in place. We always want to get to know ourself and what our soul's desire is, to know and discover what is our next step of growth. Pursuing a new endeavor with using the word “pivot” creates an ease on our brain to support those of us with high functioning anxiety.
