Are You Afraid of Getting Fired Tomorrow?

You’re checking your email constantly.
Fifteen times before lunch.
Refreshing Slack.
Scanning your calendar for meetings that weren’t there yesterday.
Trying to read between the lines of every “Let’s touch base.”

You’re not paranoid.
You’re prepared.
Because your gut keeps whispering: “It could be you next.”

You can’t focus.
You open your laptop, stare at the tab, and forget why you opened it.
You write half an email, delete it.
Write it again.
Still sounds wrong. You close your laptop.
You feel... foggy. But wired.
Your productivity’s tanking. But your anxiety? Through the roof.

And here’s the kicker:

Everyone thinks you’ve got it together.
You smile on the Zoom calls.
You meet your deadlines—barely.
You say, “I’m fine.”

But you’re not.

If This Is You, Here’s What’s Actually Happening:

What you’re feeling isn’t weird.
And it’s not weakness.

It’s your nervous system doing what it was trained to do—go into protection mode.
But most of us never got trained on how to get out of it.

That’s where the downward spiral starts:

• You feel unsafe

• You freeze or dissociate

• You beat yourself up for not being more productive

• You hide how bad it’s getting

• You push harder, feel worse, repeat

The professional on the outside is still “on.”
But the person inside is barely holding it together.

So How Do You Fix It?

Here’s what no one tells you about burnout, sabotage, or fear of getting fired:

It’s not solved with time management or thinking positively.
You have to address what’s happening under the surface.

Let me give you the real tools that actually work—not fluff, not trend-based, not one-size-fits-all.

🧠 4 Core Practices to Reclaim Your Stability

1. End the Self-Sabotage Loop
Every time you ignore your needs, suppress your fears, or dismiss your gut feelings—you reinforce the internal war.
➡ Try this: Write a letter to the part of you that’s afraid. Let it speak. Then respond with compassion—not logic. You’re not negotiating with a coworker. You’re parenting an inner child.

2. Engage Internal Consensus
This is a Casey-ism: the parts of you don’t need to “fall in line.” They need to be heard and healed.
➡ Try this: When making a big decision, ask yourself: “Which part of me is making this call?” Then ask, “Which part of me feels left out or afraid?”

3. Move Your Body With Intention
This isn’t about burning calories—it’s about burning off panic.
➡ Try this: A 20-minute walk, with no phone, just noticing sounds, colors, and sensations. Reground yourself in the now.

4. Practice Subconscious Peace-Building
Mindfulness is a start—but subconscious re-patterning is where the gold is.
➡ Try this: Use a short guided visualization or “Activation Thought Exercise” (like the ones I share with my clients) to reconnect fragmented parts of yourself and create wholeness.

👇 Here’s the Bottom Line

You’re not failing.
You’re not crazy.
You’re not alone.

You’ve been trying to fix internal burnout with external tools—and that never works long-term.

If any part of this feels like a relief to hear, that’s not an accident. It means your inner self is ready to come out of hiding. That’s where healing—and real success—begin.
