"Picture this. You set your alarm for, you know four or five in the morning. You’re determined to start your day like a boss, as they say. But you see the alarm and you’re like, oh. The first thing you think of is forget it! I’m going to just hit snooze.
And then you maybe do that two or three more times, drag yourself out of bed. You feel groggy and frustrated. But what if instead of feeling empowered, you already feel behind and the day hasn’t even started yet.” ~Dr. Lisa Hartwell
Aloha and welcome!
How do societal expectations about productivity and success impact your mental health and well-being? How flexible are you with your daily routine, and are you open to experimenting with different wake-up times to see their impact?
In this episode of Anxiety Ease, I dive into the pressures we place on ourselves to fit into the early-riser mold and how it often triggers high-functioning anxiety.
Spoiler alert: You don’t have to wake up at 5 AM to be successful!
I’m going to share 4 tips for finding your routine and personal productivity rhythm. High functioning anxiety doesn’t have to be a constant companion. By working with your natural strengths, you can reduce anxiety and enhance your well-being.
Feeling behind before your day even starts? Stop forcing yourself into routines that don’t fit. Embrace when you’re most productive and live with ease.
Mahalo for listening!
Dr. Lisa Hartwell
