Do the opposite of what your anxiety is telling you to do. Your anxiety will always scream at you to run, hide, bail. So don’t! If it’s telling you to skip that networking event because you’ll feel too awkward, go. If it’s urging you to spend hours scrubbing down your apartment before your mother-in-law comes over, do a light cleanup and leave it at that. If it’s telling you to avoid making a public gaffe at all costs, type gibberish on your Facebook page and post it. It’s so liberating to see that, honestly, no one cares. And if they do, really, does it even matter?
