Caroline Cavanagh maps anxiety to loss of control. When you feel in charge, anxiety drops. To reclaim control, focus on three things: your thoughts, your behaviors, and who you spend time with.

Chapters

So I want you to imagine a line. Up this end of the line is control, and when you've got full control, there is no anxiety. But the more you start to lose control, the more anxiety starts to creep in, so that when you get back here where there's no control, that's where anxiety is absolutely at its highest. So one of the best ways that you can reduce your anxiety is start to take back control. Control of your thoughts, control of your behaviour, control of the people that you're with, because the more control you're in, the less anxiety there's gonna be.
