My favorite way to feel ‘safe’ is hyper vigilance.

I know where it comes from…my typical older sibling type A personality.

So when things feel uncertain.
Or out of control

My brain grasps onto whatever it thinks it can ‘control’.

Early in my biz, it meant checking my bank balance or QBO reports constantly.

These days it looks like pouring over my data too much.

When that happens, my goal is to walk away + take the opposite action.
Get outside.
Move my body.

It gets heightened the closer I get to my period. And shows up outside of biz as well.

Like noticing ALL the clutter everywhere all over the house.

And the funny thing is…this hyper vigilance doesn’t actually help me in any way.

It doesn’t prevent a wrong email from going out.
And it doesn’t actually mean I control anything.

I’m SO much better at noticing it.
And have my LT 1:1 coach to call it out too.

Discerning between hyper vigilance + an actual problem to solve has saved me so much time + money in my biz!

Otherwise, my brain will give me 27 things to do that it thinks will solve/fix/prevent what I’m worried about.

I do the same for my 1:1 partnership clients.
Help them focus on what they can control + where their safety actually comes from.

As well as discern…is there actually a gap to close?
Is this an opportunity to tweak something or just our brain + nervous system needing something else?

And Lmk…am I the only person who cares about my fav mug being used?! 🤣🙌🏽
I mean, it has a “J” on it!
