Epiphany: Anxiety is a self-centered attempt to exact control through worry over things that are completely outside of not just your control but your appropriate realm of influence or even outside of possibility. This is a natural side-effect of individual and collective disempowerment by the various institutions that make up the patriarchy, via violent trauma and pervasive socialization. The disempowered person, naturally also living in a state of fear, attempts to take control of things, people and events far outside of themselves or their influence by worrying, enacting scenarios that havent, may never or possibly will never happen, and avoids situations altogether lest their expectations and anticipations be refuted or, sometimes worse, confirmed. Truly no person can control anything, but we have a limited ability to influence our breath, through which all other forms of so-called self-mastery are achieved. The general antidote or at least one of them is to find things that empower you to surrender that attempt at control, knowing that you are powerful enough to confront any eventuality with peace and poise. So like do some yoga lol duh. Not that youtube shit go do it in a room with other people. Its different. Trust. Ok good luck lol.
