RE: The Chinese Finger Trap Of Taking Action

Perhaps this is not directly related. But having to deal with massive amounts of anxiety made me learn to "give up" to release the stress of situations.
I am not talking huge stresses, just small levels of panic.
Like, even though I successfully performed roles for 25 years, at night, if I thought about how to do a task I would not be able to recall how to do it. This would lead to excess stress that would dissipate once I was actually doing the role.
It was silly situations like that where I had let things go and trust that, when the time arrives, it will all work out.
Really poignant post about dealing with situations and probem solving in general.

Right, especially when it comes to stress. You'll first have to let it go or not hold onto it too tightly for the situation to ease up and be able to take action in a way that's not grasping!
The anxiety part is relatable, mine comes and goes with the seasons and over time, I've learnt to shift into a different state of consciousness that will allow me to get the work done and not let myself get sidetracked by the anxiety.
It's definitely a very liberating feeling sometimes to just let situations be, actions do themselves and assume more of an observer's role than a controller of sorts.
Thanks for stopping by :)
