If You Dislike Your Job, Anxious Energy May Be Asking for Power

Feeling anxious at work is often treated as a personal weakness—something to manage, reduce, or push through. But what if that restless, uncomfortable energy isn’t a flaw at all? In this episode of Focused Mindset, we explore a different possibility: that the anxiety you feel around your job may be suppressed agency, not stress. A signal that your intelligence, capacity, or values are being constrained rather than expressed. For high-functioning professionals, anxiety at work often shows up as:
  • Irritation or restlessness during the workday
  • Overthinking conversations or decisions
  • A sense of being underused, overlooked, or misaligned
  • Fatigue that doesn’t resolve with rest
Rather than asking how to calm this energy, this episode looks at what happens when you listen to it differently. You’ll learn:
  • Why anxiety can increase in roles with limited autonomy
  • How capable minds react when power, choice, or authorship is restricted
  • The difference between nervous system overload and frustrated potential
  • How clarity begins to return when energy is given direction, not suppression
This is not a call to quit your job or force change overnight. It’s an invitation to understand what your system may be communicating—and how reclaiming a sense of internal authority can reduce anxiety without numbing your drive. If you’ve ever felt tense, flat, or internally resistant at work despite being competent and successful, this episode will help you see that experience through a far more useful lens.
