So grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and let's tackle this together.Amazing, brilliant, gorgeous, wonderful helping women just like you who are unhappy, perhaps even with your supposed "good life". This is a mum and daughter duo, and we're not pulling any punches as we explore trauma recovery and ideas for building resilience so that you're working smarter and definitely not harder to create a transformational life, a life you love more often than not.The connection between anxiety and attention. I was really lucky a few years ago. My bro. bought me a new top-of-the-range Samsung tablet to use. And I want you to imagine that your mind is like the browser that you have open, but with a thousand tabs open. Because the thing is, anxiety and attention issues often go hand in hand, making it tough to focus, doesn't it? But what if you could turn that chaos into calm? Now, you probably already know that balancing work, kids, your partner and self-care is like performing a circus act. But look at you. You're the star of the show.Researchers have found in a study that was done by the University of Texas that anxiety really can mess with your attention span. But here's a twist. Instead of fighting it, why not embrace it? Yes, I know you're thinking, what are you talking about, Cheryl? But just bear with me. Let's talk about mindful multitasking. Yes, you heard me right. Mindful multitasking. Now, I know you think I'm not that good at multitasking but just bear with me for a minute. I want you to think of it as a mental tapestry menu. Instead of tackling everything at once, you break your tasks down into small, delicious, manageable bites. Can you imagine feeling totally in control of your day? It's like finding a four-leaf clover in a field of daisies.So how can you do this? Why not start your day by jotting down your tasks and grouping similar ones together and handling them in a dedicated time slot? Now, I have found that this works for me because one of the things that used to drive me absolutely crazy at work was getting task after task after task, and then you'd be flitting from one thing to the other, to the next thing and to the next thing. What I did, I would group similar tasks together, so that I was doing similar things all in one go. And that way I felt as if I'd accomplished something. And this way, I think you're embracing your natural multiskilling ability, but in a totally controlled and mindful way. So you're not just doing things, but you're doing things in a structured way that helps you keep control of things. And for a deep dive on how to manage effective multitasking without losing your sanity, check out my blog post on mindful multitasking for stress management, unconscious anxiety and hypnotic journaling.I'm really lucky. You know, for many, many years, we'd always have a family barbecue on the August summer bank holiday weekend, either on Sunday or the Monday, depending on what other members of the family were doing. So we'd invite everyone around, and we'd have a family barbecue, and it was really cool. But you know what? Some friends are like someone, because they're your friend, they feel as if they can just show up uninvited. Well, unconscious anxiety is a bit like that one friend who always shows up. You might not even realise it's there, but it's wreaking havoc on your concentration.
