When you are anxious, you are living in the future. When you are depressed, you are living in the past. When you are at peace, you are living in the present. - Lao Tzu
 
And when I am anxious, what is it I am avoiding feeling? This is a helpful contemplation for me lately.

Andy, this is a very good question. I believe that anxiety and fear are tightly connected in the brain. Anxiety feeds fear, fear feeds anxiety. By being anxious, we try to divert ourselves from the immediate events in our life that we are scared to face.

Sometimes you need to take a step back before you take a step forward.
