Why do I have anxiety?
1. Parent/guardian scared/hurt me when you were a child as a form of punishment. 
2. Internalized that this is how I change "bad" behavior
3. Scare/hurt self when I do something "bad". 
4. Profit.
5. Jk get anxiety about anything that could be perceived to self as "bad."
6. Stop feeling bad about anything so I won't punish myself.
7. True profit.
8. Jk anxiety gets worse because avoiding things and now I can't go to stores or talk to people.

What's the solution? 
Change the way I talk to myself about bad things.
How?
1. Find something small that bothers me. For example, my right shoe always squeaks whenever I take a step no matter what shoes I wear.
2. I sound like a clown, a sexy clown.
3. Everytime I go to walk I'm scared. Now whenever I get up to walk in my quiet workplace, I tell myself "I don't like that my shoe squeaks."

I usually tell myself that everyone hates me and that I am a nuisance to the quiet space. And that everyone resents me. Now I acknowledge that, I don't like it. 

I am changing my internal dialog from "everyone hates you, you should change this" and imagining everyone confronting me or talking badly about me behind my back to, "I don't like this and want to change this"

4. Repeat with anything and everything that causes anxiety.
5. Leave sexy clown persona in past. Jk my right shoe still squeaks. 💃
