    I play music to do this. As in, I perform it on my guitar, sometimes while singing. Performing music uses your entire brain, so if you’re doing it right there’s almost no room for anything else while you do it. Feels like a cheat code for my brain.

      It’s not a cheat code, you’re enriching yourself! Could very well be exactly what your anxiety needs!

      Yeah using your “entire brain” is definitely the key. If you can still have a little thread going in the back of your head, then you need to up the intensity.

      Exercising while listening to a video game podcast is a fav of mine.


      Obviously these aren’t solutions or cures, but it’s a cope that can give you a break.
