You know that thing on your to-do list that keeps getting pushed to tomorrow? Yeah, that one. We talked about why we do that and how it might be linked to anxiety.

Here's the scoop:

1. We all avoid stuff. It's not just you.
2. Avoiding things feels good... for about five minutes. Then it usually makes us feel worse.
3. Try this: Instead of "I have to do this," say "I choose to do this." It's a small change, but it can make a big difference.
4. Doing uncomfortable things is how we grow. It's not fun, but it's worth it.
5. Parents: It's tempting to shield our kids from discomfort, but learning to handle it is crucial for their future.
6. Figure out what you really want, then be willing to do the not-so-fun stuff to get there.

I'll be honest - I still struggle with this sometimes. Remember how I mentioned painting the house? Still haven't done it. But I'm working on it, just like you're working on your stuff.

If you're finding it tough to put these ideas into practice, don't beat yourself up. This stuff is hard. If you want some support, remember I'm here. We could set up an anxiety audit call and tackle this together.

I'm curious - what's one thing you've been avoiding? And how might you reframe it as a choice? Hit reply and let me know. I always love hearing from you.
