Uncovering Anxiety Post 7

We will be exploring the mystery of anxiety for the next several weeks by looking at ways to recognize and manage this prominent mental characteristic.




Did you notice when anxiety is a dinner guest you feel moody and out of sorts? I'm not surprised.

Anxiety has the same properties as a sheer black curtain: everything seen through anxiety is dark and distorted.

Reality tends to be more manageable if it is not shaded with anxiety.

Things clear up when you employ a Sudoku strategy: don't get in a hurry, identify the correct answers by exclusion, proceed to plug in what will work.

Not only does anxiety cast a negative tint, it puts a rush job on everything.

Rushing makes it difficult to stay in the moment.


Anxiety can't stand mindfulness; anxiety likes chaos.


Slow down and savor your life while you are showing anxiety to the door.
