This is a great read! Thank you for the actionable takeaways. It took a long time for me to enjoy a to-do list, but I agree with the power of taking action. One thing that helps me when I'm feeling anxiety is remembering that our ancestors were feeling the same exact physiological response because they were being chased by animal predators. So, when we feel those same survival-based responses now, it's not through any weakness of our own. I like your post because it speaks to how we're supposed to use these feelings to our advantage!

Wonderfully explained Max! I love the little actionable tips you left at the end of each section.

Using emotions to drive action is definitely a valuable skill. I'm still learning to use my anger and more depressive emotions to motivate myself to push harder through tougher times.

In going to incorporate your tips the next time I'm having strong emotions.
