Do you have High-Functioning Anxiety?
When negative experiences in your life keep repeating themselves, you have two decisions in front of you:
Decision 1
Blame yourself.
Allow the experience to make you feel helpless, worried, shaky and unsure. Second-guess every decision you make. Fear conversations with difficult personalities. Endure the pain of disconnect in relationships. Accept that things haven’t changed, which means they never will.
Decision 2
Explore how past experiences led to present behavior, learn from them, and more importantly – make those experiences work for you
Discover the practical guide to using negative behavior patterns to your advantage in relationships, in business and at home.
You see, it all starts with apples (yes, apples!) …
I spent my childhood near the orchards in my home town. Year in, year out, I’d notice the work orchard managers did to keep each tree working in unison for the good of the orchard.
And it taught me a little something about life …,
- The only way the orchard thrives is if the trees work together
- As the orchard manager oversees things, their job is to notice the trees with rotten apples and care for them
- Rotten apples aren’t just accepted, they’re expected. Their responsibility is to go back into the ground, fertilize the soil, and keep the orchard blooming, year after year.
- The trees have a relationship and are reliant on each other
Apples and orchards are much like people,
right?
We’re in this orchard together. There’s no categorizing of good or bad people … just bad experiences.
As the proverbial orchard manager, it’s my job to notice what bad experience you’ve had and make sense of them with you, through practical exercises that start at the core of the issue.
