It's not anxiety in your mind. It's the alarm in your body. So find the alarm in your body, and the water filling up is the anxiety. Now, you can bail water out of that and feel a little better as the water level goes down. But unless you go under and patch that hole in the boat, unless you find that alarm in your body, see it, hear it, love it, and protect it because it is your younger self. That's how you can sail forward as opposed to always bailing water.
