Do You Want to Take Your Anxiety Up Front?
Seymour: None of us chooses whether or not we're going to experience an anxiety. We only get to choose whether that anxiety is going to be productive or unproductive, a bit like stress. Do you want to take your anxiety up front or do you want to live in it? Jennifer: The problem with going towards difficult things straight up and why we aren't so good at it as human beings is because it disorganizes our minds to do it. So the more you can hand people the choice, the more they're like, okay, well, it would be dumb to not deal with it.
