Key Takeaways:
- We need to teach ourselves rest is okay.
- There are four different components of anxiety: behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and physiological or physical anxiety.
- If you have a busy lifestyle, then minimize decision making in other aspects of your life to reduce your anxiety.
- If something doesn’t happen the way you want, then it’s still okay!
- Give yourself space to say:
“What is the worst that can happen?”
“What is most likely to happen?”
“How likely can I forget it in a day? A week? A month?”
- Your failure is not your identity!
