You got: The Avoidant & Overwhelmed
You, my friend, are the Jedi Master of Not Looking at Stuff That’s Stressful. Bills? Out of sight, out of mind. Email from your bank? Accidentally swiped away faster than someone dodging a text from an ex. You know you “should” sort your money… but the second things get sticky, your brain dials up 99 ways to avoid. You’d rather alphabetize your spice rack twice than log into your bank account. The weird part? You genuinely want things to change, but every time you try to get started, overwhelm wins out.
If you ever watch your friends calmly pay off debt, make savings look easy, or rattle off their budget like it’s a favorite recipe—and wonder, “Why can’t I do THAT?”—you’re not alone. You crave simplicity and freedom, but the stress cycle keeps you stuck on the sidelines. Recognizing this pattern is your first step. Seriously, you don’t have to be a spreadsheet wizard; you just need gentle wins (and permission to not be perfect). Let’s take the pressure off.
And I'll let you in on an earth-shattering secret that really helped me when I was in your shoes: Avoidance is the behavioral response to anxiety. If I had to guess, your root problem isn't avoidance, it's stress. Whatever you're avoiding causes you stress. But the truth is that not taking action on things we know we should is the ultimate formula for continued anxiety. It's a vicious cycle!
But don't worry. I've been there. I get it. I'm on the other side, and I'm here to help!
