Episode notes
Do you ever find yourself trying to avoid stress but actually end up more stressed because you’ve avoided the real problem? When we don’t want to face stress head on, we actually increase our anxiety and stress levels as opposed to just doing the things and reducing stress.
In our very first episode, I discuss how a multi-hyphenate, multi-passionante, and multi-potentialite like myself is currently working through my own avoidant behaviors and how I have developed some strategies that allow me to notice when I’m avoiding certain things, get closer to finding out why I’m avoiding them, and how to stop avoiding them altogether and actually facing my issues head on and how YOU can do the same.
I talk about…
- What avoidance coping actually is
- Some ways that avoidance coping shows up in our everyday lives through
- Procrastination
- Passive aggressiveness
- Rumination
- 8 strategies to use to break through avoidance coping
- Improving your life by doing these 8 things to, essentially, avoid avoidance coping and using some active coping techniques
Things I didn’t mention:
- Other active coping strategies such as
- Journaling
- Meditating
