I really like that new association and am writing it down so I don't forget it!! I am learning more and more to look at the intangible results of success (i.e. how I feel) versus the tangible (how much money I'm making). I think this is the perfect exercise to focus on right now, thank you! :0) Thanks, Cath for such great advice! I really like that new association and am writing it down so I don’t forget it!!

And I love the shift you got out of it... powerful stuff! I think, to some extent, so long as you're shifting out of your comfort zone and living with change and uncertainty, you'll have your anxiety triggered... our minds and bodies are set up to resist that sort of thing, as a way to ensure our survival. So many people choose the option of giving up meaning, in order to avoid the anxiety. For me, living a meaningful life is a lot about continuous growth (and I know, from reading your blog, that you're the same), so I'm learning to take my anxiety as an indication that I'm growing! What would it do for you if, each time you feel anxiety, you remembered that your anxiety is an indication and confirmation that you're growing and living and meaningful life? In other words, rather than telling yourself that your anxiety means you're not successful, you can let your anxiety be an indication that you ARE successful. @Brooke: Glad you enjoyed this one!
