True freedom starts with absolute honesty. The moment you call a problem by its real name, you’re already learning how to make it less harmful.

Instead of fretting about getting everything done, why not simply accept that being alive means having things to do? Then drop into full engagement with whatever you're doing, and let the worry go.

The process of spotting fear and refusing to obey it is the source of all true empowerment.
