You don't have to feel like doing a thing to do a thing.
Feeling stuck because you can't muster the motivation to tackle your anxiety recovery? You're not alone. In this episode of 'The Anxious Truth', Drew Linsalata dives into a common struggle faced by many: the myth that you need to feel motivated before you can act. Drew flips this idea on its head, arguing that action often precedes motivation, not the other way around. By challenging the conventional wisdom, he offers a fresh perspective on how to jump-start your recovery journey.
Drew emphasizes that waiting for a burst of motivation can lead to unnecessary self-criticism and delays.
