Ep. 186 Vulnerable Moment: My 7 Go-To Health Habits to Eliminate Anxiety & Overwhelm

Vanessa G Fitcast

Vulnerability moment: I don’t like talking about this because I get in my head thinking that sharing about my mental health struggles discredits me as a coach, but I know that more people struggle with anxiety or depression and feel alone and in the dark about it than not, and I hope that these tips are helpful for those of you, and also gives an example of how you can have these tendencies but that doesn’t mean that it’s your identity, and you can still achieve everything you want to achieve despite it.

I want to share what happened on a recent trip to Nashville for a business conference and what ensued from my perspective and some reflection on why I think it happened. I ended up having to go back to my hotel room and miss out on part of the conference from the anxiety and overwhelm I was feeling at the time.

The FOMO and negative thoughts kept swirling around as I wondered how I was being perceived for doing this (even though in retrospect most wouldn't mind or care) but it's important for me to share that I still go through this too even after years of working with mindset coaches and having healthy habits in place.

We'll then talk about what I do to manage these issues including sauna and cold plunge, going to bed earlier and getting up earlier, thought dumping, and more plus a reflection on why those things didn't happen prior to our trip.
