If we drill down a bit we can see that this happens because we work to the belief there’s a perfect decision out there to be made. But such a thing doesn’t exist. And clutching at something that doesn’t exist is enough to send anyone into a drowning panic. We can never find the best option. Anxiety is what occurs when we realise this, when we realise that we are not the captains of our own ships. What do we do next? We grip more, grasp outwards more, get busier and more controlling.
