worry about worry

2025.07.11
Been spending a week on a lake with Lynette's extended family, working half-days.

Between work shifts and a low level travel anxiety I kind of get... I do think the trick is threading this needle of worry. Be too blasé and nothing gets done, and you could end in a worse situation. Be too anxious and you might end up being unproductive in avoidance strategies and the like, besides being miserable all along.

(Not that we have full control over how anxious we feel, but we do have some... where we direct our attentions to, how we reassure ourselves that resiliency will see us through.)
