I am (almost!) always amazed at how my anticipatory anxiety is worse than reality (for the most part).

And how difficult it is for me at times CONTAINING my anticipatory anxiety *sigh*

When I am in the moment with my anxiety (which is future based!) - it's difficult to see past that anxiety.

You would think that all the experiences I have had with anxiety, that I would be able to calm myself and say - hey this is like that anxiety I had last time, and that didn't turn out to be terrible! But no, each experience feels like it's very own ;)

On the flip side - my workouts and Pilates workouts that I have been doing for the past 10 weeks have paid off! I went for a massage on the weekend and the massage therapist told me that I must be doing something good because I did not have any major knots or areas of stress!
