I’ve learned that at a biological level, anxiety is a lot like excitement. Both anxiety and excitement make my heart quicken and my stomach flutter, and send a wave of “Ooh ooh ooh, This Is Serious Mom” over me. So you know what I do now? I often choose to interpret anxiety as excitement whenever I can. Standing on the precipice, about to jump into something new, I often feel anxious. But if I pause and reflect, I realize it could equally be excitement that I’m feeling. When you see it as excitement it’s BLOODY FUN.
