Make Your Damn Bed 910 || getting comfortable with anxiety
Excitement and anxiety fire up the exact same space in your brain, so if we can work on reframing our perspective, we may not even have to shake the anxious feelings at all! You’re not nervous because you’re going to talk in front of a large group of people, you’re excited because you get to feel like Taylor Swift???
The thing we’re nervous about is starting, and a reappraisal can help.
If you’re someone who can assess all the ways shit can go wrong, you owe it to yourself and everyone around you to assess all the ways it can go right, too!
This way, you have a focus for excitement where there is also anxiety - which is especially helpful when staying calm isn’t an option.
