And part of it is an exercise of reflecting what causes you anxiety.
Sometimes it's those things that are in your life.
Difficult co-worker at work every single day that cause anxiety.
Family members, very, very common.
Relationships, when they go bad, the cause of huge anxiety.
And if you can identify those and then
you know, do that flip before it happens.
It's like, ah, that anxiety about my mom.
It's been there for years and years and years.
It's going to come up.
Oh, it's the holidays.
I'm going to see her.
Can I preview that for myself and remind myself before I get into the situation, you know,
My mom is always like this.
I have this response.
Maybe that response is because you want to have a better relationship.
You don't.
What is that story?
Can you explore it before you get there?
And the other thing that can help is that probably if we got into it, you and I have very, very similar stories.
