when a Non-Anxious person needs to quell Anxiety

I am generally not anxious. But it's bound to creep in. What next?

I read this funny quote

here’s my newsletter

so pay me maybe

I am hesitant to ship my deeper thoughts out to the world all the time, but I still want to because a) I like writing b) It fosters connection and growth and c) I have paid subscribers I want to honor.

If you want to read these musings, essays, call them what you want, you can join in by upgrading to paid or sending me a note.

Otherwise, I want to share with the world as that feels abundant, generous, fun, and growth worthy! I am grateful to have you all here!!

To my new subscribers looking for a good time head right over here. Looking for travel head here and here.

How do you quell anxiety?

Is the only way out through?

I am not anxious by nature. There is not a feeling I want to suppress more. What is worse than a deep, whole body, gut punch consuming feeling of angst? With a naturally occurring mindset that rejects such feelings — for many years it never crossed my mind to stress or dread an extra amount about that which did not require it.

The next level contains a power harnessed within to kindly say “I am going to feel this way instead!” This way: a calm and relaxed state with a desire to relinquish worry over what can not be controlled. What I can control? Any feelings of anxiety, worry or stress that creep in. Serenity now.

If I can steer clear of an anxious counterpoint, that’s not the way, that’s one way. Aiming to survive life’s course by turning the anxiety switch off and just being, while also recognizing ( slash accepting naturally ) that there is not a need for total control.

By employing a deep understanding that how it is meant to turn out, it will.
