Now, despite the word "efficiency" in the title of this week's episode of The Transforming Anxiety Podcast, this is NOT a discussion about time management, life hacks, and getting more done. In fact, this is about the *opposite* of that stuff.
We're talking about protecting your efficiency today.
So, let's back up. I had a moment on a tall mountain in Colorado during a long hike when I thought to myself, "I bet there are people out there who are way more efficient with their hiking." People who aren't distracted, who aren't fiddling with their packs, who aren't spending time and energy doing things that don't serve them while they're on a tough hike at high altitude.
And this shows up in our minds and our emotions, too. We get distracted with planning thoughts, judgmental thoughts, thoughts about how a conversation went yesterday or how we want something to go tomorrow. And when we get lost in those thoughts, we can't use our minds efficiently with what we find valuable, meaningful, and important.
We feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stressed on a regular basis and when we try and show up in our lives as the parents, friends, workers, and family members that we want to be, we have to try and funnel all the anxious energy into something completely different...and we can't use our emotions efficiently at all.
So...let's talk about protecting your efficiency and clean all of this up together.
