I generally have a positive attitude and are optimistic about the future because I’ve learned that the alternative leads to despair and desperation. I refuse to retreat back to the shadows of the past even when there is darkness creeping across the world.
It’s not that I’m not afraid, it’s that I have come to the conclusion that fear only survives if we give it a place to grow, rooting in the dark corners of the mind.
Fear not only serves no purpose, but it destroys purpose.
Recognize the Fear for what it is, find its base, dig your fingers into the soil and rip it out. Make sure you still leave Caution and Wariness, as those are still needed to keep you safe.
If you have nervousness and anger, it is accruing energy needing an outlet. Channel that into change, change for yourself and for your world.
Love and pleasure are absolutely acceptable to counter anxiety, and I would say essential. Love and pleasure those around you. Love and pleasure yourself. You will be healthier, and your world will be healthier.
Now just imagine what would happen if everyone around you was doing that too. What a world that would be.
