i've taken it upon myself to understand how my brain works. I draw connections between all my different anxieties and create something i like to call my mental health stack. It helps strengthen my brain in the same way that anyone tries to strengthen their body when they go to the gym. And then i find things like therapy, mindfulness and executive coaching are really important tools that help me navigate anxiety once it's already happening. So if i feel anxious today, or if my base level of anxiety is high to day,  it's because i've messed up one of three important things.
