Is your worst-case scenario being forced to sit quietly with your own thoughts and sensations?  Are you one of the many that declares that they are "OK" so long as they are up and about and occupied?  Learning to sit quietly with oneself is a challenge for many people, with or without anxiety.  For those recovering from an anxiety disorder, this presents a serious challenge, but a challenge that must be met on route to full recovery.(For full show notes on this episode visit https://theanxioustruth.com/126)It is well worth the time to solve this problem just like it is with all of your anxiety related problems.  First you learn that being quiet and still is NOT a catastrophe, then you learn how to use quiet/still time positively and productively.This is a hard thing to overcome and a hard thing to learn to do.  As always, you can do hard things.My social media or and other links:  https://theanxioustruth.com/linksMusic Credit: "Afterglow" by Ben Drake (with permission) - https://facebook.com/BenDrakeMusic
