Quote
She began to observe how her habit of worrying was an attempt to control and reduce her anxiety. And that obviously this strategy was not working out very well for her since worrying in response to anxiety only fans the flames and makes it worse.
As she got better at making this distinction between worry and anxiety, she was able to start undoing her habit of worrying every time she got anxious. This lead to a quick and strong reduction in her overall anxiety levels throughout the day.
Understanding the fairly simple concept that worry was an action that she did and anxiety was a feeling that happened made all the difference for her.— Nick Wignall
