Action is the antidote to anxiety.

Anxiety shows up in many forms and one of the forms it takes is that of decision-making or, in particular, the illusion of decision-making. We become busy choosing this path or the other and feel as if everything will start falling into place once we take the all-important decision.

But that seldom happens and one decision leads to another and action is nowhere to be seen. The reason is that taking action is a different ball game altogether, especially taking action that changes the status quo for the better.

The irony is that the decisions take care of themselves when we focus on taking action that takes things forward. The more we focus on the action in front of us, the more likely we are to counter our anxiety.
