Quiet time: I started sitting in silence doing absolutely nothing. It's like meditating but you don't have to stress about doing Anything! It allows you to connect and collect your thoughts. It's wild what kind of profound realizations I had just sitting there doing nothing.... Also, therapy is great Also, identify the root of your anxiety. Be honest. If it is procrastination related, own it. Once I started being honest with myself, a lot of my anxiety went away....
