You said that you didn't allow your anxiety to control you. Was that specifically in traveling? Or was it on other ways?

The secrets of life as I have learned.
Long response here.
When it come to anxiety it becomes a cripple affect. Once, I spoke with my family and friends, I suddenly realized over the years I have allowed my anxiety to put a pressure down on me and take full control of my life. I figured I wasn’t ready to give up, because life create a purpose for us when we follow our desires to help ourselves and others in the process. I took on more reading and learning about meditation, by readingbooks and listening to a podcast about individuals who were able to overcome there anxiety.
One common theme in all of there success, was that they did not allow there thoughts to govern their wellbeing. They allowed all thoughts to freely come in and out of their mind without paying much attention to those thoughts. Over time the racing thoughts cease to exist. Because as Buddha once stated “What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.” Our fears are just that fears, they shouldn’t be construed as our reality. Make your desired reality, by being prepared for each and every single day so you are not so anxious.
We shouldn’t allow our mind to mislead us into a future we do not desire. Example, if I go ahead and say I’m not gonna do this task because I believe if I complete this task I would be viewed as being wrong, so I stop and just ignore the underlying task. By doing so I just created a problem for myself and subsequently also allowed my mind to negatively effect my life. Because I allowed that, now Im going to second guess everything I do moving forward even if I’m right, I would feel as if I’m wrong. That’s the negative ramifications my mind just created for me because I listened to it. Now it has all the power to control and govern my life. This is because I stopped myself from doing what I really wanted to do.
Hence, I learned just complete the task regardless right or wrong. You maybe amazed as to how much you can really accomplish once you start believing in yourself and completing even the the smallest task around your home and job. I learned not to be so focused on the overall outcomes but instead enjoy the process. So, i would say if you believe what you are doing is the right thing and it would benefit others, why should you worry about others interpretation? Just do complete the task and never be defensive to constructive criticism, have an open mind. others can help you become your best version overtime.
Never be afraid to leave yourself vulnerable to criticism. Mainly, because no one is perfect not even a dog. Be yourself because that’s what am I doing. Don’t be so caught and focus that you lose sight of your vision. Do not be so focus on others attention or consequences and ramification by delineating from your true happiness. Hope this help

Good response. I notice that for me, belief in myself comes in waves. Sometimes I do and I fully believe what Buddha said, and other times, I don't. I'll definitely keep in mind what you wrote. Thank you.
