Hi Peter

That was actually helpful for me. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences!

It is true. Anxiety is an addiction and provides energy like a shot of espresso. At the same time it wastes energy almost like dumping it all on the ground at once.

I wonder if it is something that I do when I’m tired then?

Regarding your quote. It brings a new perspective to acceptance. Before I was thinking of things I have yet to accept. It highlights that we also accept things that aren’t true. Not just about ourselves, but the world.

I used to think that the world had order to it. But as I get older I see more and more the chaos in the world. I grew up in chaos and it terrified me as a child. The mind sought patterns to control my emotions. It was tiring being scared all of the time. With rules, I could take a break from being scared. It wasn’t real, the chaos was still there. But I was giving myself permission not to think about it for a time.

Thsnk you once again!

Love and best wishes! ❤️🙏
