Anxiety
As soon as anxiety gets your attention, its job is done. From
that point on, there is no good reason to maintain that
anxiety.
Anxiety can be useful in making you aware of actions that
need to be taken. As soon as you have that awareness,
anxiety has served its purpose.
After that, give your energy to the positive action and not
to the anxiety. Undertake to correct the problem and not to
helplessly obsess over it.
It is good and useful that anxiety can get your attention.
Yet it serves no positive purpose for anxiety to overwhelm
your thinking.
The moment you feel anxiety, look for, and begin to execute,
a positive course of action. Quickly choose to let go of
that anxiety, for it is of no use to you now.
Anxiety never needs to weigh you down. Let it come, let it
have its say, and quickly let it go as you take action to
move forward.
