“When you accomplish some little things, when you do things proactively and productively instead of just sitting there and just being a passive victim to The Bad Day, when you take the bull by the horns and say: oh, I do this when I have bad days and it doesn't make me feel instantly better, but at least I know I did something and I acted instead of just sitting there.”

He reads a chapter from his book that dives into the inevitable struggles you'll face on your journey to overcoming anxiety.
