I think everyone has different causes of anxiety, and different ways to deal with their anxiety. I stopped trying to be perfect or overly organized. I would follow my routine. Come home from work, prepare the coffee machine for tomorrow. Make my lunch for work the next day. Pick my work clothes out and hang them for next day etc…. I always had to be in a clutter free clean and organized environment otherwise I’d panic. And don’t let me get started on how precise my work had to be done. 

For the past month or so I’ve noticed I haven’t been feeling as anxious and it’s because I just stopped giving a F. My car is a mess and I continue to make it messier. If I don’t finish a work task in the timeframe I set for myself, I’ll just squeeze it in the next day. If my kids toys are everywhere and the remote isn’t on the end table next to my favorite chair… it’s not the end of the world. This has really made me feel ok about everything not being ok. 

If anyone else can relate to my anxious ways, just give it a shot!! I sleep way better too.
