Overcoming Your Anxiety

I bring back an old metaphor with an update and a brand new metaphor. The first is the anxiety tug of war. We are always pulling on the rope trying to make anxiety do what we want, trying to "win". But who and what are we actually pulling against and can we "win". The second metaphor is if we keep staring at the sun and it hurts our eyes why do we continue to stare at the sun instead of moving our focus to the blue sky.
