Get to the Root of Your Anxiety--So You Can Overcome It w/ Melayna Alicea

09/07/23 • 36 min

#034 - In this episode, I’m joined by Melayna Alicea, who is a fellow work-from-home entrepreneur, writer, editor, and health coach.
We talk about anxiety: its origins, the need for discernment when it comes to managing anxiety, and even the role our hormones play in how we experience anxiety.

Anxiety has many origins: psychological, physiological, circumstantial, and spiritual. We talk about all of them--as well as why you have to discern where your anxiety is coming from before you can effectively manage it.

This is the second episode in a special series for Catholic Entrepreneurs.
In this episode, I read "The Manifesto" for thriving Catholic entrepreneurs--and why it matters so much.

The Thriving Catholic Entrepreneur's Manifesto:
I am a thriving Catholic Entrepreneur.

I know that my strength comes from the Lord and I rely on him to lead me and guide me in my business and my life. I know that with God all things are possible, and I keep my eyes fixed firmly on Jesus while walking the path that he has set before me. By seeking God and his kingdom first, I know that everything else that I need will fall into place–including the success I most desire for my business.

I recognize that God has equipped me with unique gifts, talents, and abilities in order to do him some definite service in this world. I strive to accomplish this God-given mission at the highest level possible–thus becoming the saint that God has created me to be.

I strategically employ every means at my disposal to increase my capacity for excellence:

I care for and maintain my body like the temple that it is–so that it supports me with energy and good health. I refuse to let myself burnout or become too sick and tired to do my best work.

I use the best principles of productivity, leadership, and mindset training to grow in the skills I need to meet every challenge. I refuse to succumb to stress or let chronic overwhelm hold me back.

I keep my eyes fixed firmly on Jesus while running my best race. I refuse to be a lukewarm disciple.

I strive to grow in virtue, recognizing that anything less than holiness is failure. I reject mediocrity and embrace Christ-centered peak performance as a way of life.

I am a thriving Catholic entrepreneur.
