The Power of Planning: Why Your Anxiety Recovery Needs Structure
Recovery is about doing scary and difficult things. How you're feeling in any given moment is the single most important thing in the universe, most of the time for an anxious person. You cannot recover during every waking moment.
Ever felt like you’re just winging it with your anxiety recovery? You’re not alone. In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata tackles the common pitfall of making up your recovery as you go along. He breaks down three crucial reasons why having a structured plan is essential for effective recovery. First off, recovery often involves facing your fears head-on. Making decisions based on how you feel in the moment can lead to avoidance and setbacks.
Secondly, it's unrealistic to think you can be in recovery mode every waking moment. Lastly, productive decision-making is key. A plan helps you stay on track, even when anxiety tries to throw you off course. Drew emphasizes that having a plan doesn’t mean you’re ignoring your feelings; it means you’re not letting them dictate your actions.
So, if you’ve been struggling with the ups and downs of anxiety recovery, this episode offers a roadmap to help you navigate the journey with more confidence and less guesswork.
