Anxiety Fitness5 things I used to do that made my anxiety worse. The real problem was never the anxiety, it was how I responded to it. Treating it like public enemy number one. Trying to get rid of it. Refusing to tolerate not knowing. Reassurance seeking, checking and scanning my body, googling my symptoms, trying to force myself calm, avoiding anything that might set it off, they all came from the same place: wanting certainty and wanting the feeling gone right now. These days I let anxiety come along instead of fighting it, and I let uncertainty stay uncertain. Ironically, that’s what actually makes me feel calm.
