ANXIOUS ACHIEVER: How You Can Turn Anxiety Into a Superpower
The Next Big Idea
Effective Tools for Managing Anxiety
To effectively manage anxiety, it's crucial to recognize that worry often tricks the brain into thinking it is productive. This leads to a cycle of rumination, especially during quiet moments like the early hours of the morning. A powerful technique to counter this is to assign anxiety a specific job or goal. Instead of remaining stuck in worry, individuals can take proactive steps by creating lists, schedules, or plans to direct their anxious energy into concrete actions. This shift not only helps in breaking the cycle of anxiety but also facilitates a transition from anticipation to action, as exemplified by the calming effect experienced before a significant event, such as a job interview. Engaging in any action can redirect focus away from worry, allowing anxiety to diminish and restoring a sense of control.
