Have you noticed how anxiety peaks just before you take action? And how it fades away the moment you commit and start moving?
It’s like stepping on stage to give a speech, heart pounding, only to find that your words flow smoothly once you begin.
Or dreading an awkward conversation but feeling calm the moment it starts.
Or wanting to leave a job for something new. The fear is strongest just before you leap.
This is because taking action starves the anxiety of oxygen.
The longer you wait, the stronger it grows. Action is the only true cure.
When you’re feeling anxious, move forward. Even a small step can help put out the flames.
