   I've been listening to a variety of podcasts and videos dealing with fear and anxiety from the perspective of philosophers, neuroscientists, and psychologists. I'm tired of living with daily anxiety and I'm trying to understand it from as many angles as I can.
    One thing that keeps coming up is the idea that walking towards your fear rather than the freezing or fleeing mode is usually the best way of taking the power back. That lead me to the biggest revelation I think I've had recently is that feeling angry at my anxiety or the thing causing my anxiety makes it impossible for me to feel the anxiety at the same time. 
    I'm still not sure how I'll go about trying to harness the power of anger to face my anxiety in every instance but when I think about how strong and fiery "righteous anger" makes me feel, I prefer that over the constant sinking tension in my stomach and I think there's something to it.
