Shownotes Transcript

We're not control freaks...we're control enthusiasts! :)

On today's episode, Abby and Margot discuss how anxiety can show up as feeling the need to control things. Such as: activities, work, other people, families, schedules, the environment, etc. Often the many variables at play can also contribute to a wide spectrum of anxiety they experience. The Warriors share stories about times in their life when they felt the need to control in order to quell their anxiety, or when anxiety arose because things were out of their control. They talk about the range of emotions that came up as they uncover the ways it showed up in their mind, body, and behaviors. Margot and Abby reveal when they had their 'A-ha' moments, and realized that they had to make a change. They share the ways they work to navigate their need to control, and cope with feeling out of control. Finally, we hear the active practices that offer the Warrior listeners a chance to reflect on their own 'control enthusiasm', and work toward a more freeing, and less anxious/controlled way of being.
