Are you feeling anxious about something on the horizon?
Perhaps you have an upcoming event, a job interview, or a project due.
Are you spending your energy focusing on what might go wrong?
Do you find that your breathing gets shallow when you think about it?
Or perhaps your muscles get tight?
It feels like once that pattern begins, we get stuck in a negative thought loop.
When we feel fear, we stop doing our best work.
We stop showing up as our best selves.
So how do we stop the negative thought spiral in its tracks?
We do it by cultivating curiosity.
When we become curious about the task at hand, our minds start to think differently.
Our breathing becomes regulated.
We feel lighter. We get energized.
We look at new projects, meetings, and encounters as POSSIBILITIES instead of chores.
Curiosity transforms your fear into power… and your anxiety starts to dissipate.
Breathe in curiosity… exhale fear.
Happy Wednesday!
