Hi socialmoth
I push though by 'just doing it'.
I dont reeeeeeally know what I mean by that, but my thought process is when I get anxious and I start second guessing what im doing/where im going etc I stop for a minute and think about it then I just do it because I know that it will make me feel better afterwards.
For an example, before seeing a psychologist I had alot of anxiety about work and I really did not want to go.
But then I started thinking
If I go to work - I can get a coffee and chat to the owner
If I go to work - I get to see my workmates and have a laugh
If I go to work - I can afford to take my girlfriend out to dinner or buy the new game etc
If I go to work - I get to go home!
I end up going to work - even though I was full of anxious energy.
sometimes I get anxiety about going to my martial arts classess and I question myself "you've been doing it for years now - why you nervous? youre fine!' then I go do the class even though im full of anxious energy.
when I play poker every week 'what if this? what if that? - uh... has any of that ever happened? No? move on then.
and I would play poker.
Afterwards I think to myself, see... it wasn't that bad... see!
I hope my post makes sense and you get my point.
sometimes stopping and thinking about the positive outcomes is enough to get you moving.
Its bloody hard but you come out on the other side and think to yourself - worth it.
