Seth Godin’s post today is about how we all feel anxiety.
Acknowledge your anxieties, then cast them away
“Perhaps it is due to the fact that you’re trying to control things that you can’t possibly control.
Your anxiety might merely be a sign that you care deeply about your work.
Anxiety is almost never a useful emotion to carry around. Even for magicians.
Now that you’ve been reminded that you care, it pays to let the anxiety go. Good riddance.”
Yes, easier said than done, but worth the effort of learning how.
Here’s what you do when you feel anxiety
- Examine what’s going on and find out if the reason is valid.
- If it is valid – deal with it
- If it’s not valid, you can let it go.
