These patterns feel so normal that you don’t even question them anymore.

You think being easy-going and helpful is just who you are. But underneath? You’re exhausted from constantly managing everyone else’s comfort whilst ignoring your own needs.

You replay conversations in your head, analysing every word you said. Meanwhile, the other person hasn’t given it a second thought.

You made one small mistake and it’s playing on repeat in your mind. Your inner critic won’t let it go, turning it into evidence that you’re not good enough.

You’re genuinely capable and people see it. But that critical voice in your head keeps whispering that you’re somehow fooling everyone.

And your brain? It’s a disaster forecasting machine. Every situation gets fast-forwarded to the worst possible outcome, keeping you stuck in constant worry.

This is high functioning anxiety.

It’s not obvious anxiety. It’s the kind that hides behind success whilst quietly burning you out from the inside.

It’s just the way our brains are wired for survival. Your amygdala treats everyday situations like genuine threats. With high functioning anxiety, you go into “fight” mode - pushing harder, achieving more. And this constant alert mode is burning you out.

If you’re tired of appearing calm on the outside, whilst the rest of you is paddling like mad just beneath the surface, you can download my anxiety guide.

“10 Ways to Hack Your Anxiety” contains the Top 10 strategies that I use with my 1:1 clients to create lasting calm. It gives you practical, neuroscience-backed techniques to finally break free from that exhausting cycle.

I see you - the person who gets stuff done, who everyone relies on, who looks like they’ve got it all together. But I also see the exhaustion behind the success, the way you crash at weekends, the guilt when you try to rest.

High functioning anxiety is sneaky like that. It tells you that your worth depends on how much you achieve, how perfect you are, how much you give to others. It’s actually acted as rocket fuel that has powered your success.

But here’s what I’ve learned from working with incredible people just like you: you don’t have to choose between being successful and actually enjoying your life.

Yep, you can have both. You can achieve everything you want without feeling like you’re constantly running on fumes. You can be ambitious without being anxious.

The people I work with often worry that healing means they will become less driven, that in some way it will take away their power. But actually, the opposite happens.

When you’re not powered by anxiety, you become more focused, more creative, more genuinely successful.

You don’t need to lower your standards. You just need to change what’s driving them.

If you’re ready to get anxiety out of the driving seat and start feeling calm, relaxed and in control, I’m going to show you EXACTLY how.

You’re in the driving seat and I’ve got the map.

Over 5 days I’m going to show you the exact shortcuts to SWITCH OFF the anxiety.

They might look odd, but they’re all neuroscience-backed ⤵️

1. Shake my body like a dog after a bath

Animals naturally discharge stress this way. Physical shaking releases stored tension from your nervous system.

2. Press my tongue firmly to the roof of my mouth

This interrupts the panic response. Your brain can’t sustain high anxiety when focused on a physical sensation.

3. Hum loudly for 30 seconds

Humming activates your vagus nerve, telling your nervous system it’s safe. It literally vibrates anxiety out.

4. Run cold water over my wrists

The cold temperature sends an immediate signal to your brain to regulate. It’s impossible to ignore.

5. Let out a big loud sigh like a lion’s breath

This releases physical tension and forces a full exhale, which activates your parasympathetic nervous system instantly.

6. Put my feet flat on the floor and stamp up and down

The rhythmic movement releases anxious energy and interrupts spiralling thoughts.

7. Do 5 star jumps

This discharges anxious energy through movement and gets you out of your head and into your body.

8. Look slowly up, down, left, then right

Moving your eyes activates different parts of your brain and interrupts the anxiety loop, grounding you in the space around you.

If you have high functioning anxiety you may not look like you are anxious on the outside.

Your anxiety may have propelled you forward, rather than holding you back, and to the outside world, you look like you’ve got your sh** together.

You appear to be successful and driven, and you often over deliver at work or at home. You might strive for perfectionism and you often worry about disappointing others. But you know that just below the surface, you are driven by a fear of failure.

People experiencing high functioning anxiety tend to burn the candle at both ends and find it really difficult to switch off. You might work through your lunch and crash at the end of the day or at weekends.

It may be that you don’t recognise your feelings as a problem, because you’re not paralysed by fear, and thus far, you’ve managed to get by. Perhaps you haven’t even considered your feelings to be anxiety?

But feeling overwhelmed by your personal or professional life isn’t actually ok. If you don’t reduce your anxiety and your feelings of overwhelm, your health is going to suffer.
