Anxiety strikes at the most unexpected moments, even when everything seems perfect on the surface. That's exactly what happened to me recently—business thriving, marriage solid, health good—yet there I was, feeling uncharacteristically anxious for days. My immediate response? Desperately searching for the cause so I could eliminate it quickly.
This reflexive resistance to uncomfortable emotions is something most of us do. We reach for quick fixes—a glass of wine, online shopping, social media scrolling—anything to escape the discomfort. But as I reminded myself during that anxious period, "whatever we resist persists." Those emotions we try to banish only stick to us more stubbornly, like Velcro to our consciousness.
The breakthrough came when I shifted from chasing happiness to pursuing clarity instead. Rather than fighting against anxiety, I allowed it to exist, acknowledging its temporary nature. As Martha Beck wisely advises, "Get out of your head and into your hands." Simple physical activities—reorganizing a drawer, sorting through old makeup, arranging clothes by color—can pull us out of the tyranny of anxious thoughts. These mundane tasks become powerful tools for breaking anxiety's grip by redirecting our attention to something tangible and present.
