A client has been working through multiple forms of anxiety/stress/fear/worry.
One of his triggers is thunderstorms and heavy rain.
What if the power goes out? What if it stays out for days?
During a recent storm, it was raining with no end in sight.
Normally, his anxiety only ends when the rain stops.
Not this time.
He says he simply got tired of feeling anxious. 30 minutes was enough. He was not going to suffer through another storm, worrying for an unknown number of hours.
Instead of channeling his focus into multiple weather apps, he chose to move on with his life and resume regular activities.
He called this anxiety fatigue.
He was tired of feeling anxious.
Tired of feeling physically exhausted from the worry.
Tired of missing out on life.
So he chose to feel something else.
And do something else.
And be something else.
He's working on being the guy who lives his life because whatever happens, he has the confidence to deal with it.
That mindset is the blueprint he's using to tackle other fears and worries.
Having the confidence to face life's challenges.
He says he won't get tired of being that guy.
