To recap: As you become aware of anxiety, defuse it immediately with a “so what/ whatever” attitude. Drop all resistance and accept and allow the anxiety you’re feeling to just be. Try to get as comfortable with the anxious discomfort as you can. Remove the sense of threat by running toward the anxious feelings. Tell yourself, “I’m excited by this feeling.” Finally, move your attention to an activity in the present moment that engages you fully.
