Danielle Jhiani explains that anxiety and OCD doubts come from learned responses you can unlearn. The fix: notice the discomfort and move toward what scares you anyway, repeatedly, until your brain rewires itself.
The reason why you're getting a lot of anxiety or multiple OCD subsets is because you've never learned how to respond in a healthy way. Once you learn what to do, that actually makes it better. Everything changes. Our responses and behaviors are always teaching our brain what to continue to do or what to stop doing. So how do you respond differently? You need to start recognizing when anxiety or even discomfort shows up and start moving towards that thing. Just like my new job, we all are uncomfortable on that first date, but the more we go, the more comfortable we get. And as you're really, really consistent with this, you will notice your life growing and improving and the anxiety lessening more and more over time.
