Worrying & Wallowing – When It’s Useful and When It’s Holding You Back
Friday Jul 02, 2021
Friday Jul 02, 2021
We all wake up some days feeling totally out of sorts — anxious, grumpy, heavy with worry, or just plain fed up. This episode is your permission slip to feel all of it intentionally — and a guide to knowing when to take action and when to rest.
I talk through the difference between productive worry and spinning in circles, and how to check in with your “inner team” to figure out if you can do something or need to just park it. I also share a cheeky story about my horse who could sniff out when I was throwing a self-pity party (and wanted no part of it!).
And wallowing? Sometimes your body’s way of saying “please just STOP.” I’m not against wallowing — I’m for doing it consciously, with an end time and an exit plan.
If you're stuck in your head, burnt out, or giving yourself a hard time for not being ‘motivated’, this is a gentle, honest check-in with how to move through the fog — without trying to bypass it.
🧠 Topics Covered:
-
How to tell helpful worry from unhelpful looping
-
Checking in with your inner team for grounded decision-making
-
The surprising wisdom in wallowing (with an exit strategy)
-
Why rest isn’t laziness
-
Getting out of self-pity spirals with self-compassion
